* EvilIsSexy: While not evil ''per se'', Celia Hodes does somehow manage to make being an insufferable [[CountryMatters cunt]] oddly sexy.
** In Nancy's case it's AmbiguouslyEvil Is Sexy.
** Pilar however was a straight up example of this trope.

** RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: In the final season, Silas and Jill manage to make good on their part of the "compromise" mentioned at the end of Season 7, with Jill and Nancy making amends and the former giving Nancy custody of Stevie without complaint, and Silas showing himself to be a dedicated and loving son to Nancy and brother to Shane when it really matters.

* FridgeLogic: If she had sold the house in Agrestic back in 2005-06 when real estate was high, she'd have been ''at least'' free and clear with enough for a halfway decent place elsewhere, if not a nice nest egg on top of that...

** One of the episodes of season 4 is titled "[[Music/{{Metallica}} I am]] [[Creator/LouReed the Table]]".
* JerkassWoobie: Celia. Yes, she is, by her own admission a bitch, but you have to feel sorry for someone that just about no-one on the show aside from Nancy (''kind of'') likes. Her own daughter was going to break her up and sell her for parts and no-one was willing to put up the money to prevent it. No-one. There are other times too, like her period in prison when it was made fairly clear that she was another inmates unwilling "girlfriend". Admittedly doesn't happen often but it does happen.
** [[LaserGuidedKarma To be fair, the sheer amount of times Celia tries to extort, blackmail, abuse or otherwise screw over the others, you'd be hard pressed to think that she doesn't bring a hefty chunk of it onto herself.]]

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: It's hard not to like at least one version of "Little Boxes".
** Almost every episode has a lyrically appropriate song for the last few seconds of the show that run into the credits. It's almost always awesome.

I tried to make the language as clear as possible but I hope this isn't misinterpreted. Obviously Caitlyn Jenner is not the first woman to transition publicly or the first trans woman most people will have heard of, but hers is undeniably the first case in which (at least in North America) a transition has gotten so much national attention or sparked so much discussion.
