Line 23:
** In S2, a few eps were leading up to Cree trying to send the Moonbase flying into the sun. The season finale indeed, ''does'' see a plan to send the Moonbase flying into the sun... but it's being done by ''Chad''. Cree only shows up at the end to be told by Chad that her plan's already been tried and backfired. Still, it set up Chad joining the teens, so it's not that big of a deal.
** Also, the KND "Splinter Cell" arc foreshadowed an internal civil war in the KND between the extremist Splinter Cell that believes all adults must be destroyed vs. the more moderate faction that believes only the ''evil'' adults should be stopped. It is also revealed that the Splinter Cell had been kidnapping KND scientists for unknown reasons. However, near the end of the series, it turns out that the Splinter Cell is just an front for the KND scientists, who fake their kidnappings so they have more free time to watch their favorite science fiction shows as well as manage "the Galactic Kids Next Door", the workings of which were left very vague in the end.
* ''[[Hey Arnold!]]!'', "Gerald vs. Jamie O": [http://web.archive.org/web/20030610052501/http://home.earthlink.net/~hey-arnold/arn_eps5.html Actual pre-US-broadcast plot description] from an unofficial website: "Gerald gets a crush on a new girl. All together now: What about Phoebe?" Sounds like [[Ship Tease|the perfect bait]] for Phoebe-Gerald [[Shipping|shippers]], right? Well, you could probably guess this from the ep title, {{spoiler|but it turns out that the story isn't about how this new crush affects Phoebe, but rather about how the new girl is actually attracted to Jamie (Gerald's brother) and G thinks he's trying to steal her from him. Phoebe is absent both in presence and mention.}}
* The ''[[All Grown Up]]'' [[Christmas Episode]] Missed Out an a Perfectly Good Subplot: Actual exchange from the episode:
