** The trope somewhat stops applying after a point in the second book. We are reminded (or perhaps told for the first time?) that Loren and Jane Ann aren't very close because Loren essentially has erectile dysfunction. {{spoiler|After a visit to the titular Witch of Hebron, he is essentially cured, his relationship with his wife improves massively, and Robert is no longer involved in their relationship.}} |
