* UnexplainedRecovery: Vivie is consumed by the tree but she returns completely as opposed to a spirit once Clara is defeated. Clara is still half-alive in the ending shot, so it's possible Vivie wasn't completely gone by the time Montrell and Franny defeat Clara.

* MissingMom: The very first scene is of Vivie asking her dad Montrell whether her mom can see their new house from Heaven-he says yes. We don't learn why she'd dead, but it was recent and they're still dealing with it. He didn't used to put Vivie into bed or fix her hair for instance.
* MissingWhiteWomanSyndrome: Montrell complains of this as the police are pretty apathetic when his daughter Vivie goes missing, saying if she were white they would probably start an intensive search. Instead, they just tell him to wait two days and then file an official report, leaving without any further action, simply underscoring one more way black people are mistreated, which the episode's focused on.
