* SalvagedStory: Much like the "Streaming Wars" two-parter, this episode continues the trend of quelling the arguments that Cartman's fate as a drunken, miserable hobo at the end of the "Post COVID" two-parter was KarmicOverkill. To anyone who thought it was strange that ''[[NiceGuy Butters]]'', of all people, would be unsympathetic to Cartman's plight, this episode shows that even Butters has become fed up with Cartman and his manipulative ways (and for a good reason, since Cartman robbed Butters of the money he made through hard work for his own personal gain). It also reaffirms that, as well as preferring to concoct elaborate schemes instead of earning money through hard work, Cartman is too lazy and selfish to actually do anything with his life (as shown when he gets a job at the same place as Butters and quits after ''four hours'', during which he did no actual work). Once again, Cartman has paved his own path to a miserable future.

* JerkassWoobie: Before getting her old house back, Liane's a (relatively) moderate case of this. While her misgivings surrounding living in the hot dog are volumetrically proportionate to [[UnintentionallyUnsympathetic failing to put her foot down with Cartman in the previous season]], it's hard not to share her grief at the beginning of the episode over Cartman modifying their house, since he hasn't learned to stop running both of their lives into the ground and she's clinging onto her last bit of hope before she can swallow her pride and ask the closest person to a head honcho she knows (in this case, the unnamed baker guy) for help.

** Despite cheerfully and unflinchingly dragging Cartman back into their old house, Liane sports a dejected look before closing the door to his room. Given the [[{{Deconstruction}}]] of her character in "Tsst", it's possible that she still cares enough about her son to lament that [[IgnoredEpiphany he has learned absolutely nothing]] from this entire arc, or at least wishes that the easiest way to control his behavior would just be undoing everything they've went through for the past season and a half, allowing both of them to just forget about it. Either way, her internal thoughts obviously aren't really clear, but suggest that she's waiting for the time when they can finally start listening to each other again, even though she probably knows [[ForegoneConclusion there's no point]].

* CatharsisFactor: After watching Cartman exploit Butters' naïveté and good will throughout the show, including this episode here, it is absolute joy to see Butters get his revenge on Cartman (and make a tidy profit) by taking away his dream home. The fact that Cartman spends the last scene crying hysterically makes this all the more satisfying, especially since the only episode that can really top this in terms of "point for Butters, nada for Cartman" happened [[Recap/SouthParkS8E5AWESOMEO 18 seasons ago]].

** Was Darryl Weathers really fired from his jobs because of UsefulNotes/JoeBiden and Affirmative Action? Or, as evidenced by him immediately requesting to work from home after he was hired by Cartman, was he fired for being lazy and [[NeverMyFault refuses to take responsibility for it]]?

** Despite cheerfully and unflinchingly dragging Cartman back into their old house, Liane gives a small resigned look before leaving his room, suggesting she still cares about her son enough to be forlorn that [[IgnoredEpiphany he has learned absolutely nothing]] from this entire arc.

* IronWoobie: Butters, as usual. This time Cartman stole all of Butters that the latter worked hard to get. That said Butters never feels sorry for himself nor play the victim. Instead Butters works hard to earn back all of his money, while getting revenge on Cartman, by buying back Cartman's old old and forcing the SpoiledBrat to move back there and out of his dream home, making this a clear win for Butters, especially when Cartman is reduced to tears.

** Given how abusive Butters' parents can be, it wouldn't be too big a strecth to assume he took a job just to have an excuse not to be at home.
