1. Sarah {{spoiler|kisses Fiona/Cass walks in and gets jealous}}<br />2. Fiona gets grounded for admitting to being a lesbian and can't go to the prom.<br />3. Fiona meets {{spoiler|her gay godfather, Richard}} who her parents have been keeping from her.<br />4. {{spoiler|Richard}} tells Fiona some pretty major things about her family that she didn't know/had amnesia about, such as the fact that {{spoiler|her mother committed suicide by getting into a car accident with little Fiona in the car because her father was cheating, with the Wickedstepmother}}<br />5. Fiona decides to go prom and her parental units do not stop her due to #4.<br />6. Fiona faints.<br />7. James has an announcement to make: {{spoiler|Sadako is his new girlfriend}}.<br />8. Fiona faints again and wakes to {{spoiler|Sadako and Lia fighting}}.<br />9. '''The Big One.''' At Fiona's questioning of what's going on, {{spoiler|Sadako}}, Lia, and Don tell her that {{spoiler|everything up until this point was [[All Just a Dream]] and Lia, Jake, Don, etc have all been actors, though Lia gets in that her feelings for Fiona were real}}.<br />10. Fiona {{spoiler|wakes up from a coma, that we find out she caused by trying to commit suicide upon learning that her own mother tried to kill her}}.

* {{spoiler|[[All Just a Dream]]: Mercilessly deconstructed, and then reconstructed. The end of the dream is when the real story begins, and the reader follows Fiona while dealing with the very real psychological effects it had on her. Fiona then decides to try, and succeeds, at getting back to the Dream World to pursue the only happiness she knew, even while being aware that what she will find will be different from the fantasy she lived...}}

* [[Alpha Bitch]] - Sarah and Cass

* [[Always Save the Girl]] - Fiona's decision to {{spoiler|attempt to go back into the [[Dream World]] to find Lia}}

** Or not. Fiona was completely miserable in her life, anyway - no friends, nobody to talk to, dead mom, awful father and step mom, {{spoiler|very dark family secret... so miserable, in fact, that prior to the start of the story, she'd attempted suicide}}. Lia and her {{spoiler|dream}} friends were all she had. She wasn't really choosing the girl over other important options as much as pursuing the only happiness she knew.

* [[Dropped a Bridge on Him]] - {{spoiler|No Face.}} Even [[Word of God|the author herself]] comments on {{spoiler|how anticlimactic that death was}}. Done to avoid [[What Happened to the Mouse?]].

* [[Dying Dream]]: {{spoiler|Fiona questions whether everything is a dying dream to her during part 2. Candy asks her if it would make a difference or make it any less real.}}

* [[Everything's Worse with Bears]]

* [[Executive Meddling]] - an in-universe example revealed in flashback wherein {{spoiler|conscience management have concluded Fiona will react better to her conscience if she acts like an ethnic stereotype. Cue hilarious scenes where said conscience struggles to understand Ebonics and complains about her outfit}}.

* [[Yandere]] - {{spoiler|Sadako, to a T. She looks innocent enough, but man that girl has some issues.}}

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]] - Jake has green hair, Sadako's hair is purple-ish, Fiona's hair is naturally two-toned, Don's hair is just... funky {{spoiler|because he's of a humanoid race who's hair changes every day, Lucy can change heads so it's inevitable for her, Clandestine/Himitsu ''was'' brunette but losing Sadako drove her insane and made it turn blue, and Fiona's disguises consisted of brown-green hair and pink-purple hair. This series likes this trope a lot.}}

* [[Yuri Fan]] - Mr. Bun, at least in one of [http://rosalarian.com/yume/?p=409 Fiona's dreams].
