* [[Chekhov's Gun]] / [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]]: Apparently, the pyromaniac Phoebe used to burn other kids, but agreed to stop when Milla requested it. {{spoiler|It's very likely that this brought out some especially nasty memories for Milla, who watched the children she looked after burn to death}}.

** In a different, more plot relevant and non [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]] [[Chekhov's Gun]], Quentin asks Phoebe if she ever had a nightmare with a bathtub in it. In Raz's (and presumably also Lili's) nightmare, there is indeed a bathtub, which is itself a [[Chekhov's Gun]], as it has "S.S. Oblongata" written on it.

* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: Phoebe wants to name the band she's in with Quentin "The Firestarters", and occasionally talks about using her (only semi-controlled) pyrokinetic talents to create pyrotechnic displays. But if someone ''else'' talks about fire in any context, she gets extremely offended and claims they're insensitive to her issues.

* [[Kill It ~~With~~ Fire]]: See above. Phoebe also has some form of psychic dampener installed to prevent her from setting things on fire when she is mad.

* [[Kill It with Fire]]: See above. Phoebe also has some form of psychic dampener installed to prevent her from setting things on fire when she is mad.

* [[Sassy Black Woman]]: OK, so technically, Phoebe's ''green.'' But she has the right voice and ponytails that resemble tiny afros. And she's nothing if not sassy: "OK, because if y'all were gonna make a "drummer joke," I was gonna shove my drumsticks up yo' nose."
