* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: Terry is ''very'' popular in school, in the acting scene, and in the fandom.
* [[Alpha Bitch]]: Eliza, at St. Paul's School. Complete with [[Girl Posse]] and all.
Line 20 ⟶ 19:

* [[Girlish Pigtails]]: Candy and (in many extent) Susanna.
* [[Go Out with a Smile]]: {{spoiler|Stear is smiling as his plane is shot down and crashes}}.
* [[Hate Sink]]: The Reagans are definitely designed so you want to get in there and strangle them to death. Mom, daughter, son. All of them! (Though only the latter two are more prominent)
* [[Heroic Bastard]]: {{spoiler|Terry}}.

* [[Just a Kid]]: {{spoiler|The reason why Albert isn't allowed to fully lead the Andree clan, and has to assume the "Uncle William" persona}}.
* [[Karma Houdini]]: Does Eliza ever get whatever her just comeuppance is? Probably not.
** Well, at least her and her family's schemes failed in the end [[Humiliation Conga|and they were shamed by Albert]]...Considering that Albert is {{spoiler|the head of the Andree family, whose social status is quite higher than the Regans's}}, probably yes.

▲* [[Mommy Issues]]: Terry. ''Oh, Terry''.
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: If something good happens to Candy, expect something ''terrible'' happening to her in the next episode, or maybe even just minutes later. The best example is when Candy and Anthony go for a horse ride, enjoying each other's company and sharing a true idyllic moment... {{spoiler|then Anthony's horse gets its leg caught on a fox trap, and the horse's violent reaction throws Anthony out of his chair, breaking his neck in the fall and dying on the spot. The scene gets even more shocking as the color palette fades to sepia and the music
