3 | !!Tropes stolen in this job: |
4 | * BittersweetEnding: Stella's Alzheimer's isn't going to get any better, but at least she'll spend the rest of her life being cared for by people who love her. |
5 | * CoolOldLady: Stella is one as long as her memory is working. |
6 | * DomesticAbuser: Jo's husband was one of these. |
7 | * ElderAbuse: Phil is a frighteningly realistic case of this. He takes all of Stella’s stuff and sells it, while intending to sell her home and dump her in a nursing home. Even worse, he's already done the same thing to plenty of other victims. |
8 | * ShoutOut: Stella's nickname, "the Jackal", and Beaumont-sur-Mer, the briefly-mentioned site of one of her cons, are a reference to ''Film/DirtyRottenScoundrels''. |
9 | * StoneSoup: Parker pretends to be unstable in order to create a distraction during part of the con. |
10 | %%Was related to getting something from the corrupt judge, but I don't remember the details at this time. |
