* AbhorrentAdmirer: To her horror, the one attracted to her scent is the boorish school janitor.


Added DiffLines:

* FlowerFromTheMountaintop: The [=MacGuffin=] Lily, the only known substance that can change a dinosaur female's scent, only grows in a field atop a mountain. Charlene makes it all the way to the top, only to find that the field had been cleared away to make room for a photo booth. When she returns, however, she finds that her scent had changed nonetheless, apparently triggered by her desire to improve herself and not settle.
* ItsTheJourneyThatCounts: Even though she failed to get the [=MacGuffin=] Lily, Charlene's scent changed on her own, which Ethyl thinks happened because she was willing to change her fate by undergoing the journey in the first place.
* MacGuffin: The [=MacGuffin=] Lily, its name a very obvious bit of {{Lampshading}}.

Added DiffLines:

Fran is thrilled when Charlene's scent gland comes in, as that means she'll be able to attract the one male who finds her acrid stench alluring — but Charlene freaks out when that "one male" is the school janitor, Ray and sets out to change it by searching for The MacGuffin Lily.

!! Tropes:

* BigNo: Robbie gives one upon realizing the usual method to taunt his sister no longer works.
* CharacterDevelopment: Charlene's journey not only changes her scent but also makes her immune to Robbie's usual taunting.
* ObnoxiousInLaws: Ethyl agrees to reveal the Lily's location so Charlene won't marry a younger version of Earl.
