- Alas, Poor Scrappy: Selena Cross. Basically her entire life, or so we're meant to think.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: A character named Norman with a controlling mother who doesn't like it when he hangs around with other women...
- Moral Event Horizon: Lucas Cross crosses it when he rapes his stepdaughter, and later when he returns home months after his wife killed herself, without a shred of remorse for either.
- Values Dissonance: The town's namesake, Samuel Peyton, was black. This does not please the locals, who of course abuse N-Word Privileges.
