  • The episode that features Abby throwing up for what the show says is the first time in her life raises a red flag; given that Abby is a teenager, it's highly unlikely that she's never had an illness that made her vomit or gotten food poisoning, which, as the show explains, would have triggered vomiting to remove toxic substances from her body. Granted, they were probably trying to say she had never thrown up due to a gross out, which prior to them figuring out what had actually caused her to throw up, seemed to be the case but it still could have been clearer.
    • It’s likely she has gotten sick a couple times as a baby/toddler/young child but hasn’t thrown up during her older child/teen years, and her saying that she “has never thrown up” is just a case of her boasting or exaggerating about how she rarely gets sick. It’s like when a Girly Girl or Proper Lady brags about how they “never fart” even though it’s a normal bodily function that everyone does and thus would be obviously false, and what they really just mean that they don’t fart in public around others.
  • Why didn't Ty and Abby recognize Roger's attic in "Pinkeye and the Brain"? They had previously spent several hours there in "Mold Monster". Granted, it's possible that Boil's urgency, plus the addition of the durian fruit in the background would have thrown them off, but you'd think the orange-tinted lamp and the uneven shelves with beakers and flasks would have been a dead giveaway.
