* ADayInTheLimelight: While Moxxie is still involved and his relationship to her is somewhat important, this is the first episode where ''Millie'' is the one amidst the two to get the lion's share of focus and character exploration, something she {{lampshade|Hanging}}s when calling out Moxxie for how much she supports him and yet he isn't supporting her here. Even Moxxie's own insecurities and issues in this episode are mostly framed from Millie's POV and are treated as more of like nuisance she has to deal with and rightfully calls out.

* DeathGlare: At the end of the episode when Blitzo seemingly compliments Moxxie, only to immediately take it back and call him a "fucking disgrace", Millie is seen glaring angrily at Blitzo for speaking this way to her husband. Notably, this is the first time Millie has ever shown any kind of annoyance towards Blitzo instead of amusement.

* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: When "Moxxine" tries bumping “her” popularity up, “she” tries to play to “her” strengths and sings a song. Unfortunately, [[IAmGreatSong it's a song all about “her” and how great “she” is]], which doesn't do much for “her” popularity.

* BrotherSisterIncest: Invoked. Since their "Millerd" and "Moxxine" disguises have characterized themselves as brother and sister, some of their behavior ends up appearing like this. When "Moxxine" lists "a body that won't quit" amongst "Millerd's" qualities as "she" introduces the concert, some audience members [[{{Squick}} visibly get uncomfortable]]. Finally, in the episode's {{Denouement}}, Moxxie and Millie, still wearing their disguises, get too caught up in the moment and start having sex in front of the audience, resulting in "Millerd's" sudden fame turning to infamy on live TV.

All this does is briefly get them ''and'' Barbie high, and cause all three of them to focus their now erratic behavior on him, forcing him to back away in fright and putting him at the ''perfect'' spot for a stray rocket to blow his head up.

* GoneHorriblyRight: Moxxie's attempts at winning over the campers fail miserably because he goes overboard with playing the role of the ValleyGirl and AlphaBitch stereotype combined with his PaperThinDisguise making him come across as off-putting to the human girls he tried talking to. He doesn't make things better for himself with his IAmGreatSong, which includes blatantly insulting the other campers, earning even more of their ire and making him less popular than he already was.
