To pay off her credit card debts, Luanne signs up to be a roller derby girl. Peggy gets in on it too and uses borrowed money to make improvements on the team, sinking both Luanne and Peggy deeper into debt. Meanwhile, Lucky shows Bobby the pleasures of freshly-made corn chips.
Tropes:
- Calvinball: The very confusing scoring system of roller derby is on full display.Hank: Score? Someone scored?Lucky: Heck yeah. Aunt Peggy did.Hank: Aunt Peggy?Lucky: Yeah, she knocked out their blocker so Luanne could scoot past their jammer.Bill: I'm so confused...Lucky: See, your blockers stop the other teams' jammers. The pivot can block, jam, or counter-jam. Only the pivot or jammer can score.Hank: But how do they score?Lucky: No one really knows.
- Didn't Think This Through: Peggy's plan to make the roller team goes south when she just assumes they like each other but when they cut Lane out of the equation, the women turn out to be at each other's throats.
- Loophole Abuse: Since Lane Prattley did not issue any contracts, the girls are not legally obligated to be under his thumb when they decide to go out on their own or when Peggy fools him into buying the team back from the girls.
- Money Dumb: Luanne. She's been using credit cards to pay for things and running up a bill and taking cash advances. Peggy gets in on the action too when she takes a cash advance in order to gather enough money to make their own team.
