8	!!"Rhyme and Reason" contains the following tropes:
9	* AndTheAdventureContinues: The episode ends with [=WordGirl=] and Captain Huggyface going off to fight the villains that have teamed up.
10	* AntagonistTitle: The episode is named after the villainous duo Rhyme and Reason.
11	* BackForTheFinale: An assortment of random minor characters and supporting characters appear in a crowd shot reacting to [=WordGirl=]’s fight against Rhyme and Reason.
12	* BookEnds: The final scene of the episode has [=WordGirl=] going up against the original five villains from the shorts.[[note]]The Butcher, Dr. Two-Brains, Granny May, Tobey, and Chuck the Evil Sandwich-Making Guy[[/note]]
13	* ConvenientPhotograph: Becky forgets that Violet had a bunch of cameras set up in her backyard when she transforms into [=WordGirl=] there, leading to Violet finding the cameras taking pictures of her transforming.
14	* DeathGlare: Violet, towards Becky in the beginning of the second part.
15	* DeclarativeFinger: [=WordGirl=] holds up her finger while explaining what the word "harmony" means to Reason. She's trapped in ice at the moment, so she frees her finger and only her finger so she can do the gesture.
16	* DoubleTake: When Becky is looking for an excuse to leave Violet's house so she can turn into [=WordGirl=], and Bob offers a suggestion:
17	-->'''Becky:''' Violet, uh, Bob and I have to, um, run out for a minute, and, uh... ''[Bob chatters.]'' plant some corn! ''[{{Beat}}]'' What?! Plant some corn?
18	* EmpathicEnvironment: Immediately before Violet confronts Becky about her secret identity as [=WordGirl=] and Reason decides to end his partnership with Rhyme, it starts to rain outside to foreshadow and/or symbolize the sadness of the situation.
19	* FaceNodAction: A one-person example. At the end of the episode, after Becky and Violet have patched things up, a giant robot shows up. Becky and Violet nod knowingly at each other before Becky transforms into [=WordGirl=] to take care of it.
20	* GrandFinale: A rather sad one, since one of the main plot points of the episode is about Violet discovering Becky is actually [=WordGirl=].
21	* HopeSpot: Violet tells Becky that she is not mad at her for not telling her she's [=WordGirl=], much to the latter's relief. That is, until Violet announces that she has decided to end their friendship.
22	* INeedToGoIronMyDog: When she hears a bank alarm, Becky, at Bob's suggestion, tells Violet that they have to leave to "plant some corn".
23	* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: This GrandFinale episode is the first and only appearance of Rhyme and Reason.
24	* LeastRhymableWord: Violet at one point asks Rhyme to "Stop freezing [[=WordGirl=]]! Or she may turn... purple!" Cue Rhyme trying and failing to figure out a word that rhymes with "purple", giving [=WordGirl=] enough time to free herself from the ice Rhyme trapped her in.
25	* LoudGulp: Becky has one of these when she realises that Violet knows that she's [=WordGirl=].
26	* MyCarHatesMe: After Rhyme and Reason steal an old car to go with their gold bars, it sputters to a stop right outside the bank they just left, allowing [=WordGirl=] to catch them.
27	* NameAndName: The title "Rhyme and Reason" refers to the villains who are introduced in the episode.
28	* OverlyLongName: When [=WordGirl=] points out that super strength and freeze breath has nothing to do with rhyming, Reason agrees and notes that he wanted them to be called [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Super-Strong Woman with Freeze Breath and Normal Guy]].
29	* PlotMandatedFriendshipFailure: Violet finally figures out that Becky is [=WordGirl=], and is so heartbroken at having repeatedly been lied to that she breaks up her friendship with Becky. After some soul-searching, Becky and Violet start off anew.
30	* PoseOfSupplication: [=WordGirl=] starts crying and takes this pose after Violet tells her that she'll have to think about whether or not they can go back to being friends and leaves.
31	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Violet gives Becky a very short ''but'' very strong speech about the latter's lying and how it ruined their relationship.
32	-->'''Exposition Guy:''' Wait, is this the police station?\
33	'''Violet:''' No, this is a playground... ''[gives a DeathGlare towards Becky]'' of deception and betrayal.
34	* SawItInAMovieOnce: After Violet decides to start her friendship with Becky and they introduce themselves to each other, Becky asks if they're really going to start over all the way from the beginning. Violet replies no; that's just what people always do in the movies, and she wanted to see how it sounded.
35	* SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: Rhyme yells things like "Smash!" and "Bash!" as she's breaking things on her rampage.
36	* StatusQuoIsGod: Violet inadvertently takes successive photos of Becky changing into [=WordGirl=] and puts two and two together. The fact that Becky has been lying to Violet all that time causes a PlotMandatedFriendshipFailure between them. They decide at the end of the episode to start over with their friendship.
37	* {{Touche}}: [=WordGirl=] says this in response to Rhyme's clever wordplay during hers and Reason's introduction.
38	-->'''[=WordGirl=]:''' Well, I'm [=WordGirl=] -nice to meet you- and I hope you still feel like rhyming when I send you to '''jail!'''\
39	'''Rhyme:''' Well, don't feel too bad when it turns out you '''fail!'''\
40	'''[=WordGirl=]:''' ''[Beat]'' Touché.
41	* TranquilFury: Violet barely raises her voice when confronting Becky about keeping her in the dark of being [=WordGirl=] in the end of the first part and the beginning of the second part.
42	* UngratefulBastard: How do Rhyme and Reason thank [=WordGirl=] for getting their friendship back together again? By attacking her.
43	* UnwittingMuggleFriend: The two-parter episode shows a deconstructed example of why it's a bad idea for Becky to keep her secret a secret from Violet.
44	* VerbalTicked: When [=WordGirl=] goes to stop Rhyme, who is wreaking havoc to vent after Reason broke off their friendship, she notes that the villainess isn't rhyming anymore. Rhyme replies that it's too hard to do all the time without Reason's help.
45	* WasItAllALie: Violet did not take learning the truth about Becky and [=WordGirl=] well and angrily questions her about their friendship.
46	-->'''Violet:''' Becky, are we friends?
