"On Thin Ice"

- It's All About Me: Every time Lynn goes to a sporting event, she forces some of her family members to come along so she can make them participate in her outlandish good luck rituals, no matter how ridiculous they may be (such as making Lori do a really goofy dance for everyone to see on the jumbotron).

- Sophisticated as Hell: Lisa says that superstitions "derive from the assumption that a connection exists between co-occurring, non-related events", before going on to call them "hooey".

- Tally Marks on the Prison Wall: The cell that Lynn Jr. and Flip are thrown in has these.
