Christy turns it down deciding to learn from her own mistakes. Some misfortune towards the end of the season puts the Plunketts in a financial hole so bad that they get evicted.

* WorstWeddingEver: As an example for new beau Adam as to why AA is so important to her, Bonnie plays a video from 2007 of Christy and Baxter's wedding reception, fast-forwarding it four times. First, she butts in on a couple dancing, and proceeds to grope the male's ass while screaming for everyone to dance as they're ruining Christy's wedding and chugging a bottle of wine. Next, when Christy tosses the bouquet, Bonnie plows down three women and rips the bouquet out of a bridesmaid's hand. Then, up close to the camera, a bloody-nosed Bonnie brags that she's next while waving the bouquet with a wild facial expression. Finally, Christy's tearful apology to everyone is interrupted by Bonnie being hauled off by cops while screaming that she had to punch the bastard because he stole her cocaine. This apparently is all recorded by Baxter, to Christy's added horror.

'''Adam:''' ''(Bewildered)'' Is there a meeting ''now?'' I'll drive you.

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: How Bonnie talks Christy into letting Violet go through with the adoption. Christy is dragging her feet, thinking this child can be their make up for where they went wrong with Violet. Bonnie asks her what they'll do if they make the same mistakes. We are treated to a hilarious ImagineSpot of four generation of Plunketts absolutely miserable with this child being a teenage mom as well. As they take her to the hospital for delivery, Future!Bonnie quips to a now morbidly obese Christy that maybe this will be their make up baby.

* LivingProp: Deconstructed when Mary dies. No one noticed her having her aneurysm because they're so used to having her in the background. While they're reassured that it was so bad that early intervention wouldn't have saved her, the group feels devastated that they took her for granted that they try to make it up to her posthumously by helping her kids.

* NoAccountingForTaste: Strangely lampshaded and justified at the same time. Baxter has every reason to want nothing to do with Candace as despite her riches and beauty, is very commandeering and micromanaging. Many characters, frequently Christy out of jealousy, wonder why he is married to her. Likewise, Baxter is an average looking recovering drug addict with no marketable skills and could easily do better. Despite this, the two stay married for the long haul for what's explained to be Candace liking Baxter because she can mold him into her ideal husband and Baxter admitted to like her type, pointing out Christy treated him no different when they were married. On Baxter's end, her wealth is the best thing he has going for him to secure him and Roscoe a better future, and he puts the work in to ensure he can maintain that lifestyle.

* ExplainExplainOhCrap: One episode has one of Christy's old classmates eating at the Rustic Fig where she works. The two apparently had a past where Christy slept with her boyfriend. Christy apologizes vehemently, and the classmate forgives her. Relieved, Christy reassures her that her boyfriend had slept with far more than just her and still sleeps around. Right on cue, her husband walks in, revealing Christy had been EasilyForgiven because she had forgiven him as well and gotten married. Luckily for Christy, the classmate is furious with her husband not her, but Christy is still clearly guilty for having inadvertently just ruined a marriage.

* TheAtoner: Deconstructed with Christy & Violet's relationship. Christy is genuinely remorseful for how she treated Violet, and tries to be a better mother. Violet abuses this to push her around and blame her for everything, and Christy lets her out of guilt. Despite her best efforts, Violet continues to hold her mistakes over her head no matter how many things she does right and how obvious it is Violet's own poor decisions are just as much the reason her life is the way it is. By Season 4, Christy realizes that she has to drop this or else Violet will remain the same person she is for the rest of her life. Even when Violet finally shapes up, relatively speaking, she still refuses to forgive Christy, but at least this time, is upfront about it rather than holding the false hope of forgiveness over Christy's head.
