[[spoiler:It's revealed in TheStinger of "Exit Strategy" that Achmed, the only named lookalike and the one with a distinctive scar, actually is the real Saddam Hussein, while a lookalike was tried for his crimes instead.]]

* AffablyEvil: Although they're working for Saddam Hussein, they seem like nice guys, [[spoiler:with the exception of Achmed]].

[[spoiler:What's more, the ending of the episode implies that he actually is the real Saddam Hussein.]]

* {{Walking Spoiler}}s: Their appearance is quite the shock, and their mere existence spoils [[LateArrivalSpoiler a much earlier twist]]. TheReveal that [[spoiler:Achmed is the real Saddam Hussein]] makes it even worse.

* ReallyGetsAround: As a prostitute, this is basically her job. In the episode, she sleeps with [[spoiler:GOB, George (in a flashback), and ''all of the Bluth company employees''. In a subversion, however, they are all sequentially revealed to not have had sex with her at all, instead just ending up crying on the floor.]]
* RedHerring: [[spoiler:She isn't N. Bluth, nor is she related to the Bluths at all.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: Knowing that Michael suspects she is [[spoiler:his long lost sister]] spoils the fact that [[spoiler:N. Bluth isn't Michael (or '''N'''ichael as it turns out), but another family member named Nellie]], the main twist of "Fakin' It" (the episode preceding Nellie's first, and only, appearance).
