1* AccidentalAesop:
2** While not lampshaded, this episode actually teaches people to never reveal such controversial/sensitive information to people who you haven't had long term friendships with (especially if the person is someone you wronged). Lois and Joyce were friends for barely a week, and the former revealed to Joyce that she did a porno. [[TemptingFate You can guess what happens next.]]
3** Also, your past actions can come back to bite you. While Joyce may be wrong for taking revenge, Lois did pull a nasty prank on her that left her with mental scars.
4* JerkassWoobie: Joyce. While she did backstab Lois by telling the public that she did a porno which caused Lois to suffer immense humiliation, considering the horrific prank she was subjected to by Lois herself back in high school and how unlikeable she became as of late, it's hard not to feel bad for her and root for her.
5* NightmareFuel: The prank Lois pulled on Joyce back in high school purely for how horrific and humiliating it was. Even worse is that Lois is visibly ''smiling'' during all of it.
6* RootingForTheEmpire: Considering how much of an AlphaBitch and {{Jerkass}} Lois has become over the course of the series, especially to her children, and the horrible prank she pulled on Joyce, it's probably safe to say that a lot of viewers were rooting for Joyce.
7* TakeThatScrappy: Many fans found it satisfying for Lois to suffer humiliation because of how much of a KarmaHoudini she was in later seasons of the show.
8* UnintentionallySympathetic: Joyce. Many people rooted for her to get back at Lois due to Lois' behaviour in post-cancellation seasons as well as for the horrible prank Lois pulled on her back in high school.
9* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: While Joyce was the antagonist, many fans do not see Lois in the sympathetic light due to her behaviour in post-cancellation seasons on top of the horrible prank she pulled on Joyce back in high school. Had this occurred in earlier seasons when Lois was more likeable, Lois probably would have been more sympathetic.
