* JerkassBall: Marge doesn't come off as a saint in this story. The whole plot happens because she decides to meddle with Becky's love life (although [[JerkassHasAPoint she probably helped Becky dodge a bullet there]]) and then shortly after she takes in Becky out of pity, she starts to assume that Becky is trying to steal her family [[ImproperlyParanoid for no good reason]] (this is without taking into account TheReveal at the end, mind). She also casually mentions to Becky that she sneaks meat into Lisa's meals, even though she knows her daughter is a staunch vegetarian and it would be incredibly hurtful if she ever finds this out.
Added DiffLines:
* SkewedPriorities: PlayedForDrama. Becky loses Otto because he cares more about death metal than the woman he supposedly loves, and she didn't want to walk down the aisle to a monster ballad at the wedding.
