* BrokenAesop:
** In one episode Evie uses her powers to pass her driving test, with the result that she gets a license despite not being able to parallel park. This is, obviously, a reprehensible thing, and consequentially, she gets in a car accident the very first time she takes the car out. Everything's reasonable so far, except for the fact that the tester was being a jerk and demanded she park in a space ''visibly smaller than the car''. So the moral is "[[FantasticAesop It's not fair to use your superpowers]] to succeed at something that would be physically impossible to do without them."
** "I Want My Evie TV": Evie's recently-arrived Uncle Mick tries to persuade her to use her powers for personal gain. After being repeatedly cautioned about using her powers for personal gain, she uses her powers to make a music video for a school project. She is punished by her mom, for using her powers for personal gain. So far so good, right? In the end, her video gets entered in a contest and she wins $500. ''And that's the end of the episode''. That's it. No confession, no moment of revelation. No moral epiphany. Turns out that using her powers for personal gain ''just works with no negative consequences''.
