* AchievementsInIgnorance: Syndrome somehow got Jack-Jack to nap peacefully before the Parrs came home. He did this without knowing this was a superpowered baby that put his babysitter through the wringer.



* FailedASpotCheck: PlayedForLaughs for both Kari and Syndrome:
** Kari didn't find it suspicious that a random guy in a leotard and cape came to "replace" her as Jack-Jack's babysitter. Justified in that she was exhausted from spending the whole night putting out fires and lasers, and "The baby was exploding! Have you ever seen an exploding baby?!"
** Meanwhile, Syndrome didn't think to question Kari about ''why'' the house was in shambles or what caused her state of exhaustion. He just took the baby from her, cleaned up the house, and put Jack-Jack to sleep.



* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome:
** Kari spent ''the whole night'' dealing with Jack-Jack, and we don't see what happens between her dousing him in the bathtub and when the sun rises the next day.
** To a lesser extent, Syndrome didn't trigger any of Jack-Jack's power while putting him to sleep. Considering the baby tore him apart a few hours later, that is impressive.



* PetTheDog: Syndrome lets Kari go when she willingly hands him Jack-Hack, assuming that he's her replacement babysitter.

* AdultFear: Imagine you're a kid babysitter and you are hired to spend the night. Then your charge ends up vanishing whenever you do so much as turn away, and getting himself into dangerous situations. It culminates where he stays up all night because he's being obliviously mischievous, and all you can do is watch him constantly and keep him out of trouble. Take out the superpowers and it becomes scary.
