Added DiffLines:

* ChekhovsGun: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. The comic's very first arc sees Penny discover that Aggie's greatest vulnerability is her MissingMom, and consider using it to devastate her. However, in this chapter, when Penny invokes Melody while arguing with Aggie, her purpose is to drive home her point that cooperating with the police, particularly by telling on a friend, isn't something Melody would've approved. Because of this--and because Aggie has by this time [[Recap/PennyAndAggieTheLadyAndTheTiger made peace]] with her mother's passing--Aggie is not devastated (as she was when Marshall did [[Recap/PennyAndAggieThePopsicleWarSuicideRun use it to hurt her]]). She merely calls Penny out for presuming to know what her mother would've done in this situation.

* AbusiveParents - Charlotte's mother. Given her reaching for the liquor cabinet after dealing with her daughter, she may also be an AlcoholicParent.
* AnachronicOrder - The amount of rainfall, or lack thereof, at various points in the chapter show that it doesn't take place in strict chronological order. Thus, the strip with Charlotte and her mother, where it's pouring, takes place after the discussion between Penny and Aggie, which ends when the first few raindrops are starting to fall.

* ConflictingLoyalty - In deciding whether to tell the police about Brandi's assault of Xena, Aggie faced a choice between her moral principles and loyalty to her friends (not only Brandi, but Penny and Michelle, who were all counting on each other to keep it a secret). She chose her principles. "There's got to be justice, even for Cyndi."
* DeathByOriginStory - As in [[Recap/PennyAndAggieWhatYouCantTeach What You Can't Teach]], this is a non-{{Superhero}} instance, showing how Melody's death contributed to the person Aggie is today.

* IdiotBall - Aggie's suggestion that she and Penny get their friends to investigate the crime struck some readers as OutOfCharacter and showing a lack of common sense, given that, by providing so much information to the [=FBI=], she presumably trusts ''them'' to solve the case. (Not to mention that they're also professionals, with skills and resources which Penny, Aggie and friends would lack.) One explanation may be that Campbell wished to quash the idea, suggested by other readers, that "Missing Person" would end up like "The Popsicle War," in which [[AdultsAreUseless adults were useless]] and the main, teen characters saved the day.
* OneDialogueTwoConversations - Although Katy-Ann initiates the conversation with Duane about the extent to which Charlotte's truly reformed, and the possibility that she may have backslid and thus become the perpetrator, it soon becomes evident she has Jack in mind because she now has doubts about him. Duane [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this by asking her, "Are we still talking about Charlotte?"
* ShoutOut - The chapter title is that of a song by ElvisPresley.
* TooSoon - Jack's joke about possibly being sent to Gitmo.
* WhamEpisode - The end of the chapter.
