* CommonalityConnection: Vanity was infamously the TokenMinority Black queen on her original season, and was worried about being the sole representation this time around as well. To her delight, she gets to work with Silky and Ra'Jah, two Black queens she makes no secret of looking up to. It inspires a Werk Room chat in episode 1 about representation in drag shows all over the world.
* DanceBattler: The lip-sync assassin of UK Series 3 proves in the season's first lip-sync that if anything, she's only serving it ''more,'' with high kicks and splits aplenty, and complete command of the stage, which is not an easy thing to have against Rita Baga.
* HistoryRepeats: She certainly puts her best foot forward in the comedy challenge, but comedy just isn't Vanity's strong suit -- it got her put in the bottom and sent home on her original season, and a shaky performance puts her in the bottom again this season. Thankfully, this one doesn't send her home.
* WholeCostumeReference: For the ''Plaid Girls Club'' runway in episode 4, Vanity wears a near-exact replica of Dionne Davenport's famous black-and-white plaid skirt suit from ''Film/{{Clueless}}''.

Stephanie explains that she always considered the word a positive affirmation, though she also agrees, with a new perspective on it, that she understands Victoria's viewpoint.
