Line 45:
* [[Melodrama]]: Serious example.
* [[Mysterious Parent]]: Inverted. Dying television producer Earl Partridge is looking for his long-lost son. {{spoiler|It turns out to be Frank T. J. Mackey}}.
* [[Promotion to Parent]]: Stanley, hurrying to get ready for school, reminds his father they're out of dog food: promptly--and almost imperceptibly--establishing which member of the Spector household is fully-engaged and responsible. In the green room--after the on-air meltdown of the show's host, and its brightest contestant--Daddy throws a tantrum (and a chair). Role reversal complete: as a parent, Rick has been [[Disappeared Dad|invisible]].
* [[Rape as Drama]] / {{spoiler|[[Parental Incest]]}}: {{spoiler|Claudia Gator's backstory (possibly; see above).}}
