-->'''Lily:''' [[spoiler: I got news for you, Brigette! Life's not about money or other people's approval. [[AnAesop What's important is to be with the people you love. Make them happy, keep them safe]]. And if [[EvilCannotComprehendGood you can't see that]], you'll be miserable the rest of your life.]]

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

* KickTheDog: According to Phillip, [[spoiler: Mr. Rich is the master of this trope. His motivation is a prime example of this. In retaliation for never going out with him, Leonard Ricci plans to buy off Mary’s estate and plow it down as a golf course. The kick is, her husband Arthur began experiencing Alzheimer's after Leonard "accidentally" hit him in the head with a golf ball.]]

* ExhaustionInducedIdiocy: In the second arc, [[spoiler: Lily is so overwhelmed by Leonard's ultimatum that she goes one night without sleep, causing her to act loopy and hyperactive throughout the next day. Despite her friends trying to get her to think about the issue on hand, Lily's too hyped up on fixing the [=LaRose=] Horse Ranch. And when Lucas invites her to join him and Will Donald on an outing, Lily crankily insists he goes without her, not registering that he ''does'' notice something's wrong with her. This is later PlayedForDrama when Lily thinks this means Lucas doesn't care about her, even though she didn't even ''tell'' him about her problem and possibly would've stuck around to help.]]

* QueerFlowers: Regina and Lily strike up a close friendship very quickly. By the end of the first month, Regina is contemplating leaving her husband, telling Lily she loves her "jokingly," and she asks Lily to say the same back. They also dance together.

* DoesNotLikeMen: Regina is not fond of men, although she is [[spoiler: initially married to one]], at least in earlier versions of the story. At best, it took a little coaxing from Lily just to help her warm up to Luke when she first met him. At worst, Regina is ''livid'' when she assumes [[spoiler: Lily got back together with her cheating ex-boyfriend Blaine again.]] Later versions of the story imply that she may in fact be [[spoiler:a closeted lesbian who was unaware of that fact]].

* AwfulWeddedLife: [[spoiler: Regina is actually suffering from this. On the surface, she casually says everything is peachy between her and her hubby. But after the couple take a vacation, Regina soberly admits to Lily that there is in fact trouble in paradise. Her husband has wanted a baby, despite Regina not wanting to get pregnant, and it's been the crux of their argument for years. She even tiredly mentions that their fights have gotten ''so bad'', it's past the point of shouting matches by now.]]

At best, it took a little coaxing from Lily just to help her warm up to Luke when she first met him. At worst, Regina is ''livid'' when she assumes [[spoiler: Lily got back together with her cheating ex-boyfriend Blaine again.]]

* JerkassHasAPoint: Holly can be obnoxious but she actually gives Regina solid advice that she needs to [[spoiler: end her marriage]].

* ObfuscatingInsanity: Downplayed with [[spoiler:Mr. Lawrence, who poses as a representative of the Order of the Ascending Eye. His act includes a number of common superstitions. Unfortunately for him, Whitney realizes that his particular brand of superstition doesn't fit the beliefs of the old Order, eventually exposing him as a fraud.]]

* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: [[spoiler: "Under the Influence" has Tina initially look like she's a scared, lonely girl underneath her Influencer personality, and Lily teaching her how to be her own person offline is all she needs to redeem herself. ...Ultimately, that's not the case. In reality, she's exploiting Lily's lifestyle in order to improve her influencer career and be re-invited to the Fluence Festival.]]

* ButIReadABookAboutIt: It's implied that [[spoiler:Whitney Wells]] is able to outplay a trained former CIA agent because [[spoiler:the tricks showed up in the Agent Nightengale books she'd read--which turned out to be based off of actual spycraft done by the author.]]

* {{Irony}}: [[spoiler: Mr. Lawrence only came along with the hidden agenda of exposing the late Marie Barnes as a "foreign spy", despite claims he was there to help Lily save her estate from Mr. Rich. After he gets the microfilm, not only does he use it to prove Marie protected government secrets as a hero, but he convinces higher ups to help get her tax evasion charges dropped.]]

** While the game lampshades how Lily is able to afford her estate (it's all inherited), it doesn't really explain how she's able to afford the repairs. Even with Regina and Luke agreeing to work for free, there would still be a lot of expenses that Lily would have to pay for, and she is supposedly between jobs, to say nothing of the expenses involved in moving her stuff across the country. The closest we ever come to an answer is when one story arc gives Lily a source of income via [[spoiler:royalties from Mary's successful series of novels, as well as the film adaptations--this resolves an issue with back taxes and with paying Regina's construction fees up to that point in one fell swoop. However, on Day 62, Lily decides to donate the old [=LaRosa=] estate and the money in her aunt's second bank account--including the book royalties--to the state, to run as a museum, promptly re-opening the question]].
