* EarnYourHappyEnding



* CompleteMonster

to:

* CompleteMonsterCompleteMonster [[spoiler: Eventually subverted in the final episode.]]



* CompleteMonster

to:

* CompleteMonsterCompleteMonster - Initially shown this way, as he intended to use Orel as a virgin sacrifice for a Satanic orgy. Said orgy is revealed to be an orgy of food, so he backs down.
* DepravedBisexual - Subverted. While he starts out this way, CharacterDevelopment sets in, and he becomes one of the few adults on the show to reject his previous hypocrisy.

!! Reverend Putty
* ADateWithRosyPalms
* DefeatEqualsFriendship - At the start of the series, Putty clearly barely tolerates Orel's devotion toward him, occasionally graduating to outright hatred but interspersed with attempts at genuine advice. At his DespairHorizon, Putty finally gets a date with a woman, [[spoiler: only for the woman to reveal she's actually his daughter. Putty is convinced that everything in his life is a sham, even mockingly letting Orel stand at the pulpit to talk about God's love. Orel then discusses that God's love comes in faith, friendship, and family, but not often in all three. Putty's moved into his HeelFaceDoorslam]], and genuinely tries to help Orel thereafter.
* [[spoiler: HeelFaceTurn]] - The only adult in the entire series to unambiguously do this.
* [[spoiler: LukeIAmYourFather - Inverted, with Stephanie telling him.]]
* PetTheDog - Upon realizing that his entire congregation is miserable, including Orel, takes it upon himself to cheer them all. He also [[spoiler: tells his daughter that he disapproves of her crush on another girl, solely because the other girl was using her.]]
* StrawHypocrite - Like most adults, and [[spoiler: one of the few to grow out of it.]]

!! Stephanie
* DepravedHomosexual - Utterly subverted. While she has all the surface traits (she gets Orel his first job at her porn store, and has several fetishes heavily implied), she deeply cares for everyone in her life, even people she knows are just using her.
* OnlySaneMan - Stephanie's the only recurring adult character who takes her relationship with Orel seriously and responsibly.
* ParentalSubstitute - Stephanie's so maternal to Orel, in fact, she gives herself another piercing to tamp down her rising parental instincts for him, as she knows he's got a crush on her.
