Added DiffLines:

Added DiffLines:

* RevengeBeforeReason: Louise loses her mind trying to thwart Millie, which Henry Haber bets on.

Added DiffLines:

* ImprovComedyIsInane: Millie freaks out over Louise potentially not being her bestie, but tries to save her campaign by claiming it was just practice for when she starts an improv club. Tina remarks, "I think Millie just lost," but Gene insists [[ComicallyMissingThePoint the only losers in improv are the audience]].

Needs more context.


* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: A hammer versus a knife in direct competition? No guesses that the former wins.

-->'''Linda''': Here is how it works. The knife and the hammer will perform a series of parallel tasks designed to determine the biggest tool.
-->'''Bob''': ''Better'' tool.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Deconstructed. Louise is usually very savvy with a very witty head on her shoulders but as Henry points out, she becomes totally irrationally when Millie is involved, overreacting when there is (sometimes) no need and thinking of her as the devil herself. This made it incredibly easy for Henry to turn her into an UnwittingPawn by exploiting this emotional derailment so that Louise would tank herself, his rival and Millie in the campaign.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: To test which tool was better, Bob's knife or Teddy's hammer, Linda has them compete. Her first challenge was to have Bob chop 10 tomatoes and Teddy nail 10 hammers. When they finish at the same time, she has them switch stations; Bob free the nails with his knife and Teddy hammer the tomatoes back together. Teddy questions her on how he's supposed to hammer tomatoes, and Bob asks how it took her an entire day to think of the challenge.

* ActorAllusion: Likely not an intentional one, but hearing [[Creator/KristenSchaal Louise]] say Abbi's real name, ''Mabel'', out loud, probably made at least [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls a few people]]'s brains go brrrrrrr.
