- Guest Star: Veronica Alicino as the titular character
- Grumpy Old Lady: Dolores Moody, who is always in a grumpy mood.
- Heroic BSoD: Parker got so upset about not making Dolores happy that they could've stayed a raincloud.
- Literal-Minded: Parker suggesting Angus' advice of asking Ms. Pam for more jam. Then, later in the episode after Parker got asked by Dolores that they have lost their mind while they let out their brain for a second.
