* BreakingTheCycleOfBadParenting: When Bobby turns out to have an interest in the Platter family horse, Tennessee, Peggy gently encourages him to partake, and even teaches him how to ride it correctly. This trope comes into effect when earlier in the episode, Peggy relays to Hank how Maddy forced Peggy to castrate her first gelding horse; while Maddy clouded Peggy's good memories of growing up on the ranch, Peggy helps nurture Bobby's talents.

* LoopholeAbuse: Peggy forces Henry Winkler to let the Platter ranch use his cow trail that he's denying their use of by making nonsensical arguments about how cows have dirty feet and are responsible for spreading bacteria to fish by making use of an old law that states that if a dedicated cow trail isn't available, the main street may be used as one temporarily until the actual cow trail becomes available again: cue chaos as the Hills drive a herd of cows through the now-gentrified town, where they proceed to block traffic and trample everything, with one of them climbing inside a rich guy's convertible, tearing up the seats and leaving cow dung on them.
