* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Vicky confesses to Stanley that she is a thief and asks him to join her. Stanley naturally refuses since despite having feelings for Vicky, he is too good hearted to get turn a blind eye to her crimes.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: The Mask, as usual.
* DarkActionGirl: Davida Steelmine.

** In addition, Vicky was both the class valedictorian, as well as the most popular girl at school.
* NotGoodWithRejection: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] as Davida merely expresses annoyance when Stanley rejects her but she merely says "I'm sorry to hear that". She doesn't attack him or even insult him, she merely tells him to meet her at the train station "if he [Stanley] changes his mind". It's implied that she sincerely thought he would change his mind and be with her.
* OhCrap: The Mask decides to waste time going to the Coco Bongo because he wants to see Vicky's magic show, so he decide not to stop the robbers and go there. After he gets himself back on track, he goes to stop them but they already left. Even he knows that Stanley won't be happy with him in the morning for not stopping the robbers, which even for him that is a massive screw up for The Mask.
--> '''The Mask:''' Oh, Stanley is going to hate me in the morning.

** However, it makes it even more tragic when she is revealed to be a criminal.
* RealityEnsues: Vicky confesses to Stanley that she is a thief and asks him to join her. Stanley naturally refuses since despite having feelings for Vicky, he is too good hearted to get turn a blind eye to her crimes.

* WeaknessTurnsHerOn: Possibly one of the reasons Vicky/Davida is attracted to Stanley, who is a lot more spineless than she is.
