Added DiffLines:

* DidNotThinkThisThrough: Teddy and Janine really should've considered ordering less than a thousand copies of their inspirational poster. Bob lampshades the amount was too much.


Added DiffLines:

* EpicFail: The poster Teddy and Janine created bombs pretty badly, from a mix of its message not making sense and their customer base being too pretentious (one guy says he lives in a "converted gazebo," and a woman rudely posts the image online without buying a copy or advertising it's for sale).

* CrazyPrepared: Frond left one doll unharmed, seemingly for no clear reason... until Zeke falsely confesses to let the kids go to the water park, after which Frond unravels the last doll to exonerate Zeke and force the investigation to continue.

* FireForgedFriends: ''Extremely'' downplayed; the end of the episode shows that Louise has grown ''slightly'' more tolerant of Millie, but not exactly enough to truly call her more than a mere acquaintance.

* {{Blackmail}}: Once it’s revealed the teachers blew the trip budget on coffee, the kids threaten to tell the principal the truth if the teachers don’t let the students go on the waterpark trip. They reluctantly agree to pay for the entire thing from their pockets.



* TheReveal: Mr. Frond destroyed the dolls himself to avoid having to take the kids on a class trip they can't afford.

*HatedByAll: Discussed; Louise's first idea of the culprit is someone who hates Mr. Frond--only to scratch that idea since literally ''everyone'' does.



* ParanoiaFuel: Millie's room being identical to Louise's (aside from the window) is already creepy, but it gets worse when one remembers that Millie has never entered the Belcher house on-screen.

The one difference between the rooms--Millie's has a window--arguably makes things ''worse'', since that means Millie couldn't have just gleaned Louise's room's layout from outside the apartment.



* {{Unperson}}: Millie is apparently not fond of Tina and Gene, as her stories about Louise's life have omitted all mention of them to the point her mom doesn't know who they are (and she even knows who Teddy is).

* HiddenDisdainReveal: The flipside of Millie's obsession with Louise comes with her apparently disliking Tina and Gene--she simply refers to them as "not-Louise", and has never mentioned either of them to her mom among the many stories Millie shares about Louise's life. Keep in mind it's not just her being hyper-focused on Louise--she even mentioned Bob, Linda, ''Teddy'', Teddy's ''job'', and the restaurant.
