* [[Asian Gal With White Guy]]: She's surrounded by Asian men she doesn't show the slightest bit of interest in, but as soon as Daniel shows up at the front door... Then again, the other suitor with a chance was ''Chozen'' of all people.

* [[Put On a Bus]]: She goes back home to Ohio midway through the movie, and is never seen or mentioned again. Probably because the producers realized the aforementioned [[May-December Romance]] just wasn't working.
