Fridge Brilliance:

  • Raleigh glancing over all of Margot's affairs to focus on her hidden smoking habit seems out of place until you realise he's spent several years with a woman he only just found out he knew absolutely nothing about.
  • Margot lost her left ring finger (the one traditionally used for wedding rings). Considering her many failed marriges and relationships, it seems she just can't keep a ring on her finger.
  • Royal's gravestone claims he died "tragically rescuing his family from the wreckage of a destroyed sinking battleship". If you interpret the "sinking ship" as the family's relationship, he did just that.
  • Something that confused some viewers for years was Richie putting the javelina back on the wall. This was right after the Richie and Margot “we’ll have to be secretly in love with each other” scene, meaning they most likely had sex in the closet and discovered it there.
