* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: "Can't Wait 2 Wait" has Dawn watch ''Business Throne'' with Ray before watching it with her husband, which is framed as if she were having an affair with Ray. This includes her begging him to "put it in" when he has a USB drive of the leaked finale, and her defending herself to Scott by saying she couldn't even finish, because the effects on the leak weren't fully rendered.



* SequelHook: In the last moments of the season finale, Gloria brings up her suspicion that Ashley faked her death.

* UranusIsShowing: "Space Boys" has the girls mention they looked for boys on Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Neptune, and Pluto, then checked "one more planet" and found space boys. Sure, they ''could'' refer to Mercury, but given the show's humor[[note]]as well as the earlier mention of the "planet full of girls," which could allude to the Mercury symbol being similar to the Venus symbol for women, while the Uranus symbol is similar to the Mars symbol for men[[/note]], the implication is that the boys are on Uranus.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Every member of the band has this at a few points but the topper is likely Wickie thinking she's done a great job booking them for a concert at Radio City Music Hall...on Thanksgiving Day...when most everyone in New York is watching the Macy's Day Parade. It takes the ladies pointing it out for Wickie to muse on why the place was available.

* GoneHorriblyRight: In Season 3, Gloria helps [[spoiler: Holland fake his death in a plane crash, convincing the world he's gone so he can live a new life as just a singer. It works, all right...with Holland's fans ("which means everyone on Earth and their moms") blame the girls for his death and vow to boycott the rest of their tour.]]

* JerkassRealization: A few times with the gals, especially "B.P.E." as Summer and Gloria remember a prank show they did they thought was hilarious. Rewatching it, Summer thinks they were too cruel to the one guy they kept pranking with Gloria brushing it off as just fun. They visit the guy, who was so shaken by the pranks that he barely leaves his home and terrified a passing cloud could be part of a prank. Watching an old awards show where she was felt up on camera, Gloria realizes how the guy must have felt exploited. She goes to apologize, which he accepts...after a "revenge prank" of blowing up her car with Gloria admitting "I deserved that."
