* HilariousInHindsight: This wouldn't be the [[Film/TheHungerGames last time]] Creator/PaulaMalcomson and Creator/JenniferLawrence played mother and daughter. Ironically, Lawrence would next play the older daughter who resented her mother for not properly taking care of her and her younger sister after their father's death.

* RetroactiveRecognition: In one of her earliest roles, Jennifer Lawrence plays the present day version of the youngest daughter, Abby, in this episode.
* TearJerker:
** Marlene, a young widow is forced to live out of her car with her two daughters. She disappears one day after dropping them off at school, and the two girls eventually end up in foster care, where they are both split apart. Abby, the elder daughter ends up hating her mother all those years for believing she had abandoned them. She was killed by a homeless man she had befriended that was helping her adjust to homelessness. The two of them had decided to split the winnings of the lottery ticket he gave her if it won anything. It turns out to be a $25 prize, and she drives to the homeless camp to cheerfully give her friend his half. However, her friend has convinced himself that she was "destined" to win the million-dollar jackpot, so when she tells him the ticket had been a "winner", he is unable to accept that it was a small prize and not the million dollars and ends up destroying the cake she bought for her daughter's birthday while searching for the rest of the money before killing her in his rage and frustration.
** While Abby is no doubt an UngratefulBitch and {{Jerkass}}, her initial reluctance to meet with her younger sister, Natalie, lamenting that "she's with a good family now, she doesn't need me", makes her quite sympathetic, seeing how she was separated from her last living family member, likely [[PartingWordsRegret after a fight]], so shortly after losing both her parents.
** A happier one is Jeffries finally making peace with his wife's death after confronting her killer, who is just a broken man who feels genuine guilt for his actions. It ends with him finally listening to Miles Davies for the first time in 12 years.
* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic:
** Abby,the eldest daughter came across as incredibly spoiled, always blaming her mother, Marlene, for not being able to fix the horrible situation they were in. When she found out her mother was killed, she changed her stance from "her mother abandoned her and her sister" to "her mother killed herself to get away from them." It can be seen as a form of LaserGuidedKarma that her life turned out completely different from her sister's.
** Marlene didn't come across as much better. Her refusal to face reality was partially responsible for their situation, and she kept it up with lies and false promises to her daughters, which were clearly for her own benefit, not theirs. Her killer was a glimpse into how she could have turned out living in that mental state long enough.
