* EmbarrassingPyjamas: Beast Boy is forced to wear a pink bunny pajama onesie by Mae Eye after she places him and the other Titans under mind control. This is no ordinary pajama suit; Mae Eye made it so he "didn't have to turn into all those ugly animals" since he would already look like an animal. When he tries to change anyway, he finds that the suit is so tight that it keeps him from transforming. Not even his T Rex form could break the suit.

* ForceFeeding: When Starfire tries to break everyone out of the mind control, Mother Mae-Eye straps her to a chair to force feed her pies to get her back under her control. Luckily, Starfire's alien digestive system means it doesn't take.


Added DiffLines:

* ShoutOut: Mother Mae-Eye straps Starfire into a chair with a conveyor belt depositing pies into her mouth to force-feed her in an homage to the iconic force-feeding sequence from ''[[WesternAnimation/PigsIsPigs1937 Pigs is Pigs]]''. Thankfully, Mother Mae-Eye isn't trying to fatten up Starfire, who also has nine stomachs to call upon that prevent her from getting stuffed.

As is, it's played as a slightly mean-spirited prank, and nothing comes of it.

There is a different trope for when Remember The New Guy happens in-universe and is explained as being a result of the new character brainwashing the others into believing they were always there.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Even before missing her pie when Mae Eye tried to give each of the five Titans a pie in the operations room after they questioned her forbidding them to fight crime and later getting hit on the head, Starfire is shown to be more resistant to the mind control than the others; when Mae Eye is cleaning Starfire's nose, her eyes are their normal green instead of pink, and she is clearly much more confused about what is going on and Mother Mae-Eye has to feed her another spoonful of pie to get her eyes to turn pink. It's then revealed later in the episode that she has ''nine stomachs''—a digestive system that complex would mean she'd need to eat a lot more pies before they'd be fully effective the way they are on her teammates.

* UnwillinglyGirlyTomboy: Mother Mae Eye forces Raven to wear a yellow Shirley Temple styled dress with a large white bow in the back and her hair tied into GirlishPigtails tied with matching yellow bows. Because Raven is being mind controlled, she raises no complaints and even ''giggles'' when Mae Eye puts her in it and proceeds to pinch her cheek while telling her she can still dress pretty. After the spell is broken however, Raven is ''furious'' to find herself in a little girl's dress with her hair done up so girly, and uses her powers to change back to her usual looks.
