* ButtMonkey: Lacey gets blamed for quite a few things, such as wanting to host a wedding, which was Davis' idea.
* TheCameo: After everyone involved in the B Plot vows to never discuss the issue again, Darryl Sittler himself is shown, feeling like he's just been snubbed.
* ChainOfDeals: The Darryl Sittler plot eventually resolves by passing the card and $20 between everyone involved to clear up perceived debts, though Hank decides to keep the money instead of repaying Wanda (and gets called a bastard/"son of Elvis").



** Once everyone thinks that Emma and Oscar never married, Wanda tells Brent that he's literally a bastard. He says he prefers the term "love child". [[spoiler:And then later, "Son of Elvis".]]

* PrenupBlowup: Played straight when [[spoiler:Oscar and Emma]] decide to get married, and [[spoiler:Lacey "convinces" Oscar]] to ask for a prenup. This was due to her [[SustainedMisunderstanding mistakenly thinking that Oscar can't read]], and she interpreted his desire to "put things in writing" a bit differently than he had intended. Oscar asks Emma for a prenup on Lacey's "advice" (she thought she was helping him learn how to read). Emma reacts how you'd expect, and Oscar winds up in a neck brace... but only because he tripped and fell while walking backwards away from Emma.

A Plot: When Brent asks his parents why they have no wedding photos around, they tell him it's because they never actually got married. Finding this out, Davis talks Oscar and Emma into having a wedding so he can plan it. Eventually they reveal that they did get married, but were ashamed about having an Elvis wedding, [[spoiler:where ''they'' were dressed as Elvis]].

B Plot: Hank tries to get back a Darryl Sittler rookie card Brent won from him in a game of Knuckles when they were kids. Karen and Wanda get in on the debate about whether a schoolyard game can be legally binding.

C Plot: Lacey becomes convinced that Oscar can't read and goes about trying to help him, as well as get everyone else to believe her.
