* DidNotThinkThisThrough: We see Fred's approach for searching for his birth parents, which seems to consist largely of knocking on random doors and asking whoever's there, rather than ''searching'' even when he has the names of his birth parents. And, later on, Crybaby Clown points out leaving their trap next to the town's fireworks factory was not the best idea when dealing with someone who's got explosives.

* PuttingTheBandBackTogether: After the events of the previous episode, the gang's split up. Scooby's on a farm (read: prison), Shaggy's in military camp, Fred is looking for his parents, Daphne's happily with a new beau, and Velma's gone through a HeroicBSOD. But it's Velma who tells Nettles to gather the others up. She rescues Scooby, who rescues Shaggy, and they find Fred.

* SureLetsGoWithThat: On seeing Shaggy out of military camp, his mom wonders how he got out. Shaggy claims he's been made a general, and is undercover with Scooby to stop the clown. She buys this.
