- Heartwarming in Hindsight / Hilarious in Hindsight: Here, Molly saving Andrea's life convinces the young heiress to declare them friends; in canon, this happened...except Molly was not informed of the friendship coming into existence until Andrea is already using it to help the McGees.
- Straight Heartwarming in Hindsight: Darryl here is shown to see Molly as a Disappointing Older Sibling, only realizing how important she is to him and how poorly he's been treating her after being kidnapped; in canon, he's shown to absolutely adore his big sister and even looks up to her as a role model, giving back every ounce of love and care Molly shows him.
- Realism-Induced Horror: A child could feasibly get kidnapped and held for ransom or even just grabbed for witnessing a kidnapping in Real Life...and in reality, Andrea probably wouldn't have escaped with her ring finger and Darryl might not have gotten out at all.
