48
49	!!Tropes appearing in ''The Night Out'':
50
51	* AllTakeAndNoGive: Dominator believes that this is what ideal friendship should be. When she learns that true friendship is quite the opposite, she decides friends aren't worth it.
52	* BreadEggsMilkSquick: "Sometimes you just gotta cut loose, have a little fun, blow up a sun, leave an entire solar system in a state of darkness and eternal winter as everyone freezes in their last poses of anguish!"
53	* CallBack:
54	** Sylvia's need for a break comes back in full force.
55	** Once again a villain bent on destruction encounters Wander and Sylvia while not doing anything evil. This time ThePowerOfFriendship doesn't work as it did on Beep Boop.
56	** Dominator doesn't understand friendship and shows she would rather run things her way rather than reform for others' benefit, as she explained in "My Fair Hatey".
57	* ContinuityNod: Sylvia's karaoke singing comes back into focus.
58	* CorruptTheCutie: Sylvia does wild things with "D" but balks at sending a bar owner to his death for understandably wanting recompense to the damage they did.
59	* ADayInTheLimelight: For Lord Dominator.
60	* DownerEnding: Dominator leaves in a huff and not learning about friendship, and Sylvia belatedly realizes she just hung out with the OmnicidalManiac that has been chasing her and Wander down while destroying the galaxy.
61	* EveryoneHasStandards: Sylvia won't leave an alien to die even if they are a criminal and harassing her.
62	* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Dominator fails at understanding friendship.
63	* FedToTheBeast: The karaoke bar owner tries to toss Sylvia and Dominator to his pit monster. Dominator turns the tables on him.
64	* {{Foil}}:
65	** In "The Bot," Wander recognized the Probe immediately and nevertheless tried to win it over with success. Sylvia here doesn't recognize Dominator (see PaperThinDisguise) and fails at making Dominator see good
66	** Sylvia and Dominator bond while running from the bar owner's bouncers, but Dominator shows that she is a villain while Sylvia risks her life to save the bar owner.
67	* GirlsNightOutEpisode / GoKartingWithBowser: Both tropes are PlayedWith. It's a GirlsNightOutEpisode in the sense that the two most prominent female characters are getting an episode all their own (and even has a song lampshading it) - but the two are mortal enemies on polar opposite sides of the moral spectrum. However, the only reason that Sylvia is GoKartingWithBowser in the first place is because she has no idea that "D" is actually Lord Dominator in disguise.
68	* HollywoodToneDeaf: Sylvia's voice is out of tune during her karaoke.
69	* HopeSpot: For one moment it seems that Dominator responds to Sylvia's kindness. Come a few minutes later, she leaves Sylvia to die.
70	* MoralityChain: Wander for Sylvia. While he's busy helping a bunch of aliens cross the street, she gets up to wild shenanigans with Dominator.
71	* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Wander helping alien children cross the street gives Dominator enough time to start having fun with Sylvia, that is by trashing the karaoke bar.
72	* OhCrap: Sylvia when she recognizes the jacket that Dominator leaves behind as the one that she got with "D".
73	* OrphanedPunchline: "...and then the ballet dancer says 'Annihilation? I thought her name was Susan!' And then, y'know, she got annihilated."
74	* PaperThinDisguise: Averted; Dominator changes into punk clothing, wears her hair in a different style and covers her telltale eyes. Not to mention that she saves Sylvia from a karaoke dueler, which Dominator has ''never'' done. With that said, Wander ''does'' recognize her.
75	** Played straight when Sylvia and Dominator are hiding from the cops by wearing fake mustaches.
76	* ThePowerOfFriendship: Subverted; Dominator leaves Sylvia to die saving the boss she threw to a monster when the latter refuses to listen to her.
77	* SaveTheVillain: Sylvia rushes down a pit of doom to save the bar owner that Dominator tossed down to feed to a monster.
78	* ShipSinking: Dominator and Sylvia don't even make it past the friendship stage.
79	* ShoutOut: The scene where the slug boss opens up a pit in front of him where a cyclops monster is kept is a reference to Jabba the Hut and the Rancor from Star Wars Episode VI.
80	* SueDonym: Dominator calls herself "D" and nearly gives herself away several times. Sylvia laughs it off.
81	* VillainEpisode: For Dominator taking a night off.
82	* VillainsOutShopping: Dominator again, though she takes precautions to disguise herself.
83	* VillainousRescue: Dominator saves Sylvia from a karaoke dueler.
