* DoubleStandard: Buttercup is a ''five-year-old'', meaning it's normal for someone at her age to use an item for security. At the end of the episode, Buttercup finds her blanket in the Professor's laundry basket and is ecstatic to see it, but decides to give it to the Professor after a nasty DeathGlare from the other two girls. The Professor begins doing the same thing Buttercup did when she had the blanket, muttering "I am a good scientist". Blossom and Bubbles don't seem to mind when a ''grown man'' uses the blanket in this manner, but get greatly annoyed when a ''five year old'' has a security blanket.

Added DiffLines:

* DeathMeansHumanity: Downplayed not with the main trio, but with the narrator and the death of Bunny, the {{Gonk}} Powerpuff Girl created by Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup to lessen their workload. While the girls are a bit apprehensive of her, they call Bunny a sister from the get-go. However, the narrator treats her as little more than a monster, literally calling her one when Bunny's overly simplistic rationalizations has her setting free criminals and bad guys. Bunny's explosion after [[BigDamnHeroes saving the girls]] however causes the Narrator to end the episode in tears re-recognizing her as "Powerpuff Bunny."
