* AxCrazy: Invoked by Francine to make everyone shut up and eat. We're treated to a lengthy sequence of Francine describing her usual day, while she brutally murders Stan, Steve and Roger for complaining about making okra casserole instead of zucchini. It's then revealed Francine was imagining it, while holding a giant meat cleaver and saying she can always make the guys something else before slamming the cleaver into the kitchen table.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Francine becomes a concrete executive, but finds it lonely without her family.

* DeadPersonImpersonation: Francine takes the name badge of Sarah Blanch, who was believed to have been in a car crash. It's then shown that Sarah had initially survived the car crash, but was then hit by a log and swept away. Ten years later, Francine is still going by her assumed name.

* YellowPeril: Invoked. After struggling to bullshit her way through the speech Sarah was scheduled to have at the convention, Francine notices an Asian-American concrete exec silently encourage her...which inspires her to fearmongering about the threat that Chinese people pose to the American concrete industry, capping it off with an inflammatory comment about keeping "the yellow" out of "our [[PatrioticFervor red, white, and blue]]". It's heavily implied the man trying to help her gets assaulted for his race by some other convention goers because of this.
