Cringe", and "Not everything is about you Moxxine" in quick succession.

* PaedoHunt: It's very brief, but during "Regular Joe", Millie sings about how she gets nude photos from what looks like an adult, which she is disgusted by when she realizes the implications. Keep in mind, Millie is disguised as a young boy.

Keep in mind, Millie is disguised as a young boy. It's also rather concerning that the news show reacts badly to the alleged incest, but apparently no one cares about two preteens having sex in public.

* DeliberateValuesDissonance: Much like how I.M.P. being assassins is seen as "honest work" in Hell, Barbie getting clean yet still dealing heroin on Earth is similarly seen as her successfully turning her life around. It helps that, according to Blitzo, Heroin is no more effective on the denizens of Hell than over the counter headache medicine.

* {{Deconstruction}}: Along with deconstructing Millie's SatelliteLoveInterest status, investigating mysteries are also deconstructed. With Moxxie being given his first hit to lead, he believes that to prove himself he has to be thorough like in crime shows. But as soon as he and Millie got to the camp, she ID'ed the target immediately (He had money, drugs, and a drill with a trench coat in the middle of summer), but Moxxie says the first suspect is never the real culprit, so because of this he ignores the target to investigate elsewhere. What happens is a week is wasted with pure humiliation every step of the way while Millie gets beloved in her disguise. And Moxxie never finds another suspect because it wasn't some genius killer like in Series/{{Columbo}} or Series/{{Monk}}, but a horny idiot. It took Millie calling out Moxxie for how unsupportive he's been for him to realize he's been wasting his time.

* WhodunnitToMe: The client knows that one of the other counselors killed them, as they're the only ones who have the keys to the boat shed to sabotage their boat, and ''also'' knew that they couldn't swim. ''Which'' counselor is what Moxxie and Millie need to figure out to know who the target is. The mystery, however, is very quickly resolved when Jimmy immediately upon Moxxie and Millie's arrival shows himself to be an incredibly obvious suspect. Moxxie still insists on treating it as a mystery, though.

* ClueEvidenceAndASmokingGun: When Millie first spots Jimmy, he is trying to sneak around unnoticed in a trench coat while carrying a large sack. Despite how this all looks rather shady, Moxxie first tries to dismiss it as not strong enough evidence to finger him as the culprit. Millie, however, studies Jimmy closer through a set of binoculars and points out how Jimmy's sack is full of a mix of cash and what is clearly some sort of illegal drugs, and he is even wielding a drill in his free hand, which could have been used to poke holes in a boat. Moxxie tries to claim that this only circumstantial evidence, but Millie then points out that Jimmy is currently sneaking into the boat house, showing that he has access to the boats and could very easily arrange the "accident". It is only because of Moxxie's clearly dismayed reaction that she decides to walk this suspicion back.
