History Recap / TPFLouderAndProuderS1E9RagingBully

* AnAesop:
** [=LaCienega=] learns that sometimes, when you have enemies, you might have had something to do with them turning out the way that they did.
** When you have wronged someone, like what [=LaBrea=] did, the best thing you can do is be humble and admit that you were wrong, so you don't make the same mistake twice.

* SmolderingShoes: Subverted. When [=LaCienega=] fails to appear upon being announced, her smoking high heels gave the impression that she's been vaporized when she's merely been launched into the now-derelict Snackland.

* AbusiveMom: Melrose towards [=LaBrea=]. She put far too much pressure on her, and wouldn't let her attend [=LaCienega=]'s until she was skinnier than her ([=LaBrea=] wears four girdles during the episode to compensate). It's implied by Melrose that her and Sunset's mom was also abusive, and their rivalry started by her pitting them against each other.

* DemotedToExtra: This episode focuses on the Boulevardezes, with the Prouds taking the backseat.

* AbusiveMom: Melrose towards [=LaBrea=]. She put far too much pressure on her and denied her the chance to have a quinceañera, and wouldn't let her attend [=LaCienega=]'s until she was skinnier than her ([=LaBrea=] wears four girdles during the episode to compensate). It's implied by Melrose that her and Sunset's mom was also abusive, and their rivalry started by her pitting them against each other.

* FormerlyFat: Subverted. [=LaBrea=] is shown in flashbacks to be on the chubby side, but in the present day she is skinny...until it's revealed that she wore four girdles to hide her figure. After reconciling with [=LaCieniga=], the two are presented on stage together, with [=LaBrea=] showing her real figure.

* ADogNamedDog: The frog that [=LaBrea=] gives to [=LaCienega=] is named Sapo, which is Spanish for 'Toad'; as not everyone can tell the difference (frogs having lean, smooth skin while toads have warts), 'frog' and 'toad' are sometimes used for the same animal, and, in Spanish-talking countries, 'The Princess and The Frog' is sometimes translated as 'The Princess and The Toad'.

* AFriendInNeed: Penny, Zoey, Dijonay, Maya, Michael, and KG prove themselves to be trustworthy friends to [=LaCienega=] despite her jerkassery. That, and [=LaBrea=]’s “prank” was just an unprecedented amount of fuckery they couldn’t stand for. They went out of their way to track where she was and rescue her from the tower.

* ItsAllAboutMe: [=LaCienega=] as usual wants things done her way and becomes a diva about it, but her mom ends up trying to make the event all about her by overspending for expensive things without her daughter’s input every time Melrose criticizes her.

* AFriendInNeed: Penny, Zoey, Dijonay, Maya, Michael, and KG prove themselves to be trustworthy friends to [=LaCienega=] despite her jerkassery. They went out of their way to track where she was and rescue her from the tower.

* ItsAllAboutMe: [=LaCienega=] as usual wants things done her way and gets bossy about it, but her mom ends up trying to make the event all about her by overspending into expensive things every time Melrose criticizes her, all behind her daughter's back.

* Series Continuity Error: In a flashback of La Brea that takes a year before the episode, Micheal still has his current appearance instead of his old one. It's implied that this scene took place in between the events of the previous series and Louder and Prouder, as the new kid Maya hadn't met her before.

* ElSpanishO: Just like the Boulevardezes, Avanúñez is a corruption of the word "Avenue" with "ez" added at the end to make it sound Spanish.

* RememberTheNewGuy: Sunset's sister, Melrose, and Melrose's daughter (Lacienega's cousin and Sunset's niece), Labrea, are treated as such.
