Lois becomes Adam West High's newest music teacher and must contend with Alpha Bitch bully Connie D'Amico.


"Connie's Celica" contains examples of:

  • Amazonian Beauty: At the end of the episode it's reveal that Lois' time in jail made her incredibly muscular developing a bodybuilder-esque physique. Her and Peter still have sex and Peter indicates that he likes her new look but is also turned off by her new found aggressiveness in bed, making him do some pretty disturbing things.
  • The Bus Came Back: Connie, after being Demoted to Extra since her minor appearance in "Leggo My Meg-O", gets a major role in this episode.
  • Butch Lesbian: One shows up confronting Lois, offended by Lois' remark to the other moms that the pro-LGBT bumper stick on her car is a "nasty prank". Nervous, Lois says she's not against the LGBT community, which the lesbian misinterpret as Lois asking her out. Not wanting to sound homophobic, Lois agrees (and Cleveland and Donna object to it because they know she's married).
  • Continuity Nod: After years of being retconned into a homemaker, Lois working as a piano teacher (which was her job in the precancellation episodes) is finally brought back as a plot point, since it helps her get the job as AWH's new music teacher after the previous one quits.
  • Cyberbullying: Connie is expelled from school after assaulting Lois (who was the new music teacher). Rather than take responsibility for her actions, Connie resorts to hacking Lois' facebook account and ruining her reputation out of spite.
  • Double Standard Rape: Female on Male: The episode ends with Lois, who has gotten more muscular during her stay in prison, having sex with Peter. He expresses his discomfort at some of the acts she made him do, which she brushes off. She then moves the dresser in front of the bedroom door so that "no one can come in or out", and has sex with Peter again. Peter is clearly distressed.
  • Faking the Dead: In the end, it is revealed that Connie faked her own death and was hiding out at a hotel.
  • Forgot Flanders Could Do That: Lois was originally shown to teach piano lessons to kids. However, this was ignored, and she was portrayed as being a bored housewife. This episode brought back her skill at teaching music.
  • Karma Houdini Warranty: Connie wasn't shown being arrested for framing Lois for her (faked) murder (or for killing an innocent pig)—however, since she was recently expelled from school, she's not exactly sitting pretty.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: For bullying other people (particularly Meg) for the majority of her appearances in the series, Connie is expelled upon receiving her third strike after bullying Lois during class.
  • Mistaken for Gay: Lois falls victim to this after Connie revenge pranks Lois by putting an LGBT sticker on her car, causing several people including an actual lesbian to mistake Lois for a lesbian and forcing Lois to go on a date with said lesbian.
  • Shout-Out:
    • Peppa Pig: The British pre-school TV series’ main protagonist is the (apparent) unwitting actual victim of the car accident that was first thought to have killed Connie.
      (Joe knocks on the Mummy and Daddy Pig's door)
      Daddy Pig: Yes?
      Joe: Excuse me, folks. Do you have a daughter named Peppa?
      Mummy Pig: Yes.
      Joe: You're gonna wanna sit down.
    • Connie Sellicca: The episode title makes reference to the actress and model whose main fame was in the 1980s, including the TV series The Greatest American Hero and Hotel.
  • Take That!: Lois delivers an extended one to Mary Kay Letourneau.
  • Ungrateful Bitch: Despite Lois (unsuccessfully) trying to convince the principal that expulsion might not be the best option, Connie still wants to get back at her.
