First one has a justifying edit, second is actually explained; they have to watch a movie they think is boring, and then they're mad at their parents for lying and briefly causing them to think they died

* OutOfCharacterMoment: Marge, normally a MamaBear on her best days and MyBelovedSmother on her worst, doesn't care about the kids here. Granted, the episode goes out of its way to show that Bart and Lisa have been [[TookALevelInJerkass much brattier than usual]] most notably preventing the two from ever being intimate with each other, and Homer does have to coax her into taking the vacation with him.

* TookALevelInJerkass: Bart and Lisa are incredibly bratty in this episode which is what drives their parents to ditch them in the first place. It doesn't help that after they catch them in Miami, they taunt them about how they'll never have alone time which leads them to getting ditched ''again''.
