* LoveMakesYouDumb: Dot to an extent from "Magical Thinking" to the following episode "Show Stoppers" - she seemed to had let down her guard a bit too low for Chester, even as far as to (understandably) ignore [[spoiler: Dandy's warning about him]]) [[spoiler:, but eventually wises up in the latter episode]].

* MyBelovedSmother: It's all but stated that he's still with the freak show due to his mom, who he was estranged from until Elsa reunited them when she recruited her. The first episode had him make a case for the two to leave and start anew in normal society but she shot him down.

* NomDeMom: Jimmy uses Ethel's surname rather than Dell's, likely because the latter walked out on them when he was still young. That being said, Jimmy doesn't count as a HeroicBastard since his parents were married.
