* TheKindnapper: In book 1, it comes out that when Sean Patrick O'Hanahan was six, his mother abducted him and ran away from his abusive father after said father broke his arm because he hadn't put away all his toys one night; Sean also says his dad only had custody because he had friends who "put the squeeze" on the judge. The government agents who've been charged with recovering him claim that none of this is true, saying Sean's mother brainwashed him into believing his dad was a bad man, but Jess is convinced that Sean's version is the right one, and arranges to reunite him with his mom.

* SignsOfDisrepair: Played for laughs in book 1. Shortly after Jess gets struck by lightning (and about causes her friend Ruth to have a panic attack), she tries to calm Ruth by making snarky remarks all the way home. One such remark, which actually ''does'' help calm Ruth, involves her pointing out a Kroger sign that's been damaged by the hailstorm, disabling the first half:
-->"Hey, Ruth, look," I said. "Ger is open, but Kro is closed."\\
Even Ruth had to laugh at that.
