* [[Green Eyed Monster]]: [[Played for Laughs]] with Penny's over-the-top tantrum, expressing her frustration over Sara's ''[[Macbeth]]'' performance, and not hers, catching Meighan's eye.

* [[Imagine Spot]]: When her parents tell her about the invitation, Sara imagines herself writing her autobiography, playing Willow to Daphne's [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Buffy]], receiving a 100% approval rating on [[Rotten Tomatoes]], and marrying Daphne amid a shower of cash.

* [[Its All About Me]]: Brandi praises Stan for maintaining Sara's publicity website. However, Stan admits he's doing it because she's allowed him to sell photos of her (and presumably keep at least a percentage of the profits). Brandi's [[Visible Silence]] reaction suggests she's once again having doubts about him.

* [[Last Second Word Swap]]: Sara, in response to Lucy's agreeing with Hilary that she's holding everyone back, reassures her with "No. Hilary's kind of a bi--", then, noticing the camera's on her, substitutes the words "bit driven" for "bitch."

* [[Their First Time]]: Sara and Daphne. Implied when Sara says, "We're just going to have to make sure we stay fixed in each other's memories. You up for that?", and then opens Daphne's mouth in close-up.

* [[Viewers Are Geniuses]]: This arc, by giving [[Show Don't Tell|little explanation]] of the play beyond the characters' names and a couple of hints as to their personalities and motivations, assumes that readers are familiar with ''[[No Exit]]'', or else willing to bone up on it. This assumption is even more pronounced in Part Two, leading to confusion for many readers and Campbell's decision to clarify some points of the play (among other matters) in an appendix of "Leted Scenes."

* [[Younger Than They Look]]: Due to a misunderstanding, partially rooted in Campbell's instructions to pattern her appearance after that of director Kathryn Bigelow, Waltrip drew Hilary as a woman of about thirty, confusing some readers. She is, in fact, a teenager like her co-stars.
