Added DiffLines:

* ChekhovsGunman: Don Crowder is introduced early on as another member of the congregation at the church that the Gores and the Montgomerys attend, during which his occupation as a lawyer is mentioned. Candy hires him to be her attorney when the police begin to view her as the prime suspect in Betty's murder.


Added DiffLines:

* OmnidisciplinaryLawyer: Averted. When Candy retains Don Crowder to represent her, Crowder makes note of the fact that as a personal injury lawyer, he's not that versed in criminal law, and as such he brings on Robert Udashen (who has more experience in that field) as co-counsel.

* DeclarationOfProtection: When Candy says "We can never allow Betty or Pat to get hurt".

to:

* CrashIntoHello: The inciting incident for the affair. While Candy and Allan are playing on the church volleyball team, she ends up backing into him while trying to hit the ball and gets knocked down. As a concerned Allan helps Candy to her feet, she can't help but think that he smells like sex to her.
* DeclarationOfProtection: When Candy says One of Candy's rules when she and Allan are planning their affair is that "We can never allow Betty or Pat to get hurt".



* {{Housewife}}: Candy is seen doing various home activities such as cooking and vacuum cleaning, and talking about her and her friend staying at home while their husbands go to work.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Betty when it comes to Pastor Ron Adams. Candy states that Betty isn't welcoming to the man but as we can see he makes no move to ingratiate himself with the congregation, he looks down on the things they do (from singing a rock song in choir, homemade ornaments for the Christmas tree, and Pat using Literature/PeterRabbit for a Sunday School puppet show) and Betty is merely voicing the discontent felt by her fellow churchgoers.
