* IJustWantToBeSpecial: When Honeybee's friend Veronica thinks she left anything behind in Fresno to become someone's wife in Alaska, Honeybee gets offended by the notion of that's just what she is and becomes obsessed with finding out what "Wife" did before she died to ensure herself she won't end up forgotten and being only known as a wife. Judy reminds her that she's a legend in Lone Moose for becoming an interim mayor, getting attacked by an eagle, and getting into a slap fight with a drifter. Later, Honeybee learns that "Wife" is actually Manifred Wife who's actually a serial killer who killed several people, including her husband, but despite learning this horrific fact, Honeybee is happy to learn that Manifred was more than just a wife.

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: In-Universe. One of Honey's dreamt up scenarios about "Wife" is that she was essentially the inventor of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logrolling_(sport) Logrolling]], with her husband taking the credit and she and other women being kept from competing even though she was both the first to do it and the best at it. In reality, the sport was the result of male lumber workers who had to move logs that were being transported via rivers when they got jammed up, who had to balance on top of them to keep dry and who turned it into a competition. The first competitions were organized and sponsored by the lumber companies, whereas Honeybee's story paints it as a purely grassroots affair and never even mentions lumber companies.

This can all be chalked up to her not knowing the specifics of the sport when making it up on the spot.

* DatelessGrave: Inverted. Honeybee finds a grave with the year 1888, but the name is merely "Wife". Her obsession with finding out who was buried there makes up the B-plot.
* SickEpisode: Beef is suffering from crippling pains but refuses to see a doctor. Instead, he goes to "Alaska's Doctor", a water pipe he claims has magical curative powers. In the end, he becomes immobilized by pain and has no choice but to go to a doctor.
