* ChildishVillainMatureHero: Ultimately subverted. While, yes, mature for her age Molly is the protagonist and ChildishOlderSibling Lorelai is the antagonist, the narrative is pretty clear that Molly shouldn't ''have'' to have grown up so quickly to make up for her father and sister, [[spoiler:to the point where her happy ending involves having a chance to just act like a kid again]].

* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: A DeconstructedTrope. The fact that Lorelai is childish, entitled and irresponsible and Molly has had to pick up the slack when she and [[ManChild their father]] blow off their chores day after day is clearly doing a number on both Molly's mental health and the relationship between the two sisters, [[spoiler:and by the end of the novel, Molly seems to have abandoned the relationship entirely]].

* LoopholeAbuse: In order to get past the Spelling Bee, the heroes have to solve its spelling challenge. After Phoenica easily passes the first two rounds, the rules are reversed for the final round: ''they'' have to give the Spelling Bee a word that ''it'' can't spell, which is no easy task considering how the Bee has access to the Hexicon, which contains "every word known to bee". The Bee then specifies that to make things fair, Phoenica has to know how the word spelled, it must be reasonable to assume that Lorelai has heard it before, and it can't be a word Phoenica made up. So Phoenica picks... [[spoiler:"Feenie", her AffectionateNickname. It meets all of the criteria: she personally knows how it's spelled, Molly has used it where Lorelai can hear it, and her ''parents'' are the ones who made it up, not Phoenica or her friends. But it's not in the Hexicon, and the Spelling Bee (possessed by Lorelai) gets it wrong.]].

Saw a animation for Prison of Plastic before I found out it was maybe a collab. So it may not be in the book. I'm not sure, it's been a while since I read the book. I'm gonna need to check. Sorry, y'all.

* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: In perhaps one of the only times where this trope is done on someone elses behalf; when Phoenica calls Lorelai an "ancient, evil witch", Molly chimes in that she isn't quite sure she'd call her sister "ancient". A sentiment that Trixie agrees with since Lorelai is still in high school, so she'd be atleast 30 (according to Trixie). 40, tops.

Picking up from where [[TheResolutionWillNotBeTelevised the show's first season left off]], Molly and her friends, Trixie and Phoenica, are enjoying a day at the beach until they stumble upon the freshly-beached body of Rick Shades, a bizarre "wizard" from the depths of the ocean. The trio of girls try to bring Rick back to Molly's toy store to help him recover, but things quickly take a turn for the worse when Molly's older sister, Lorelai, gets involved. Using her epithet, ☆Augment☆, she throws everyone in the store into a dream world of her creation, suddenly turning one of Molly's rare days off into an epic quest to escape Lorelai's world of make believe and rescue her friends.
