* IAlwaysWantedToSayThat: Wanda's doctorate from EMU is not hand-delivered by a psychology instructor, but by someone that specialized in mathematic probability. When Wanda asks why, the representative says she "drew the short straw", and then adds how glad she is to finally make that joke.

* ASinisterClue: This is definitely how Oscar perceives left-handed people, leading to his plot with Davis and Karen. Oscar reveals later that he was born left-handed and his parents forced him through the same conversion he imposes on the cops.

Added DiffLines:

* TheChainOfHarm: Oscar punishing and trying to publicly shame Davis and Karen for being left-handed turns out to stem from Oscar's parents doing the exact same thing to him as a child.

Added DiffLines:

* InVinoVeritas: Emma knew all along that Oscar was born left-handed and was forcibly reeducated, as he's talked about it more than once while drunk at the bar, but didn't speak up until the end of the C Plot because Oscar's last tirade was about how she's never supported any of his past inanity.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Malaproper}}: At the end of the C Plot, Oscar's mad at Emma for knowing all along that he was forcibly converted from left-handedness, and should've stopped him from being a hypocrite. Emma retorts that he had been angry at her for ''never'' supporting him, and now was angry ''for'' supporting him, and he can't have it both ways. Oscar states that he can, because he's "bi", but Emma corrects that he ''should'' mean "ambidextrous".


Added DiffLines:

* StatusQuoIsGod: Wanda's doctorate in psychology is revoked at the end of the episode because she used it to impersonate a medical professional.

Trope is cut.


* OnlyCoolPeopleMatter: Lacey admits to Brent that the only reason she won't stand up to the teenagers is that this is the first time anyone has thought she was cool and she doesn't want to lose that. Of course, this is Corner Gas, and this is Lacey, so by the end of the episode they all think she's a narc and a dork.

Added DiffLines:

'''A Plot:''' Wanda receives her [=PhD=] in philosophy from an online university called EMU. When word gets out, everyone in town assumes she's a medical doctor and come to her for advice. She is reluctant until she is persuaded with pastries, so she sets up an impromptu clinic at the gas station with Hank acting as her nurse.

'''B Plot:''' Lacey is ecstatic that all the local teenagers think of her as the "cool" adult, but she gets frustrated when they invade the Ruby and start destroying everything. Brent embraces his role as an old curmudgeon and teases Lacey's inability to stand up to the young punks.

'''C Plot:''' Davis and Karen reveal that they are left-handed, causing Oscar to fly off the handle and bring a mob revolt against the police force, as he believes southpaws are evil. He forces the cops into training to make them right-handed.
