* EurekaMoment: When Fred is unable to access the unedited footage because of Belle's multiple encrypted passwords to her channel, she comments that it would take too long unless they have "a thousand people working together." This inspires Bailey to realize she's the president of the Hamster and Gretel Fan Club and none of them fell for Belle's videos, and begins calling up every member to help them.

!!Tropes:
*BitchInSheepsClothing: Belle, natch. Sweet and innocent on the outside, but willing to ruin the reputation of two superheroes (to the point of getting them arrested for crimes they didn't commit!) ''just'' for the sake of gaining views, likes and subscribers.
*HeroWithBadPublicity: Hamster and Gretel suffer from this big time in this episide.
*ManipulativeEditing: Belle's [=MO=] is to record footage of Hamster and Gretel doing good deeds as usual, then make it appear as if Hamster and Gretel are doing the exact opposite, no matter how cheap it looks. This includes reversing the footage, to [[QuoteMine sentence mixing]].
*PieInTheFace: The episode starts with a baker villain named Eddie who attacks the town with his underselling "divorce cakes", and some of them do get thrown into other people's faces.
*PleaseSubscribeToOurChannel: All of Belle's videos end with her telling the audience "Like wnd subscribe!"
*PoliceAreUseless: Bailey, accompanied by Fred, goes to the police station to report Belle's obviously edited videos for the sake of clearing Hamster and Gretel's name. The police officers see the footage and take it as a report of ''Hamster and Gretel doing serious crimes'' instead, leading them to leave the station to [[ArrestedForHeroism arrest the two]]. Even worse, they let an ''actual'' criminal go, as if arresting Hamster and Gretel is a higher priority.
*VillainSong: Belle gets one, called "Tearing You Down".
*WeWillNotUsePhotoshopInTheFuture: Belle's edits are so obvious and fake, but nearly every citizen falls fir it anyway.
