To keep her mom's house, Imogen throws a fundraiser Halloween party.


Tropes featured in this episode:

  • "Angry Black Man" Stereotype: Tyler mockingly jokes that Tabby is being this when she rails on him for being a misogynist, which gets Faran angry too:
    Tyler: Are you trying to win the award for angriest Black woman or something?
    Faran: Shut your fucking mouth right now, Tyler, if you know what's good for you.
  • Asshole Victim: Tyler is a misogynistic, homophobe who gets his nose broken by Tabby and is later killed by A.
  • Cliffhanger: The episode ends with Tabby and Imogen confiding into each other that they were both sexually assaulted at the bonfire party in the woods.
  • Flashback: The episode begins with a flashback in 1999 during Halloween with the moms destroying pumpkins and making Angela throw a bag of dog poop at a house's door as part of their "initiation" only to drive away and mockingly wave goodbye as she's left there to take the blame.
  • Freeze-Frame Bonus: There's a girl dressed as the 90s version of Carmen Sandiego hanging out at Imogen's party. Her distinctive red hat with the yellow band is visible in a couple of shots.
  • Halloween Episode: The episode takes place during Halloween, with Imogen throwing a party to raise the money to keep her mom's house and Mouse trick-or-treating with a stranger she met online while pretending to be his missing daughter.
  • Twin Switch: Faran openly accuses Kelly of actually being Karen and they switched at the dance. It's up in the air whether or not Kelly is honest about being herself but telling even her mother calls her Karen.
