Inside the wagon Ukariah is confronted by surreal imagery, numerous monsters ("members of the Un-Human Race," according to the background lyrics) and the Grinch's mocking voice. Though he is frightened, Ukariah's courage keeps him on his toes long enough for the Sour-Sweet Wind to die down, thus forcing the Grinch to pack up and retire to his cave; the dog Max, who had been abused and overworked by the Grinch, goes home with Ukariah. Back in Whoville, the residents celebrate Ukariah's courage in preventing the Grinch releasing the Paraphernalia Wagon's full horrors on the town, and up in the mountains the Grinch, who is hauling the wagon home himself, ominously notes that one day soon the Sour-Sweet Wind will blow once more, and it will be Grinch Night all over again.

=== This show provides examples of: ===
* [[Badass Bookworm]]: Ukariah. He can define the term of an astigmatism, and somehow stand up to the Grinch and survive all of the horrors in the paraphernalia wagon.
* [[Big Friendly Dog]]: Max fits this role in the end; on his hind legs he's as tall as Ukariah, and after being freed by the Grinch he runs down the hill after Ukariah and the next shot we see is him happily slurping Ukariah's face.
* [[Big Ol' Eyebrows]]: The Grinch's lift clear off his face and fly around like giant bats. He's rather proud of them.
{{quote| '''Grinch:''' It's a wonderful night for eyebrows.}}
* [[Disney Acid Sequence]]: Everything that happens after the Grinch opens his trap-door... well... to say none of it makes sense is an understatement.
Line 20 ⟶ 19:
* [[Grief Song]]: Max's sorrowful ballad about how he lost his freedom when he was a puppy.
* [[Here We Go Again]]: Despite Ukariah's attempts to stop the Grinch, it will happen again when the next Sweet-Sour Wind blows through.
* [[Hey ItsIt's That Voice]]: Hans Conreid shows up to deliver arguably the scariest voicing of the Grinch. He also provides the much cheerier narration, which may come as a shock to viewers that have been creeped out by his Grinch voice for the last 30 minutes.
* [[Ironic Echo]]: Ukariah mentions how situations looked much better without his glasses on. The person he's addressing will tell Ukariah to put the glasses back on and face the facts. The first time he does it, it's to his grandfather. The second time, Ukariah is speaking this ''to the Grinch!''
* [[Last of His Kind]]: "The Woozoo should at least have immunity! He's the only one left in our community!"
Line 30 ⟶ 29:
** The special "[[The Grinch Grinches the Cat In The Hat]]" seems to suggest that the Grinch goes back to being evil on a regular basis.
** It also shows that that Grinch is a member of an entire species, most of whom are profoundly unpleasant people. So they could be different Grinches, each called "the" Grinch because there are no other Grinches in the area.
** It could be that the "Max" we see in the Christmas special is a different, albeit similar looking, dog which the Grinch obtained and also [[NamesName's the Same|named Max]] after the first one left him. The Grinch seems pretty set in his ways, [[Fridge Brilliance|so why try another breed or go through the trouble of remembering a new name?]]
* [[No One Gets Left Behind]]: Animals all shack up in safety when the Sour-Sweet Wind starts blowing. A female Who even goes back for her son's doll.
* [[Non -Indicative Name]]: Halloween is never even brought up, nor does any character allude to it outside the title.
** Which is why re-releases have sometimes renamed it "It's Grinch Night"
* [[Number of the Beast]]: "I wouldn’t go out on a night like this...for sixty-six million six hundred thousand dollars and an extra sixty-six cents!"
