** Van at one point rants in anger about the way Cheyenne appears to be affectionate towards Frank before venting his anger on a severed head prop hanging on the stairway, only to wince in pain because Reba had placed it inside a freezer earlier in a failed attempt to prank anyone opening the freezer before having it taken out.
--->'''Van''': *shakes his hand in pain* Why is it frozen?!
** On the night of Halloween, Van takes Jake out for trick-or-treating in the neighborhood, followed by Cheyenne (dressed in a French maid costume) heading out to meet Frank, dropping a matchbox that's from a hotel. As Reba, Brock, and Barbra Jean discuss the potential implications regarding the matchbox and the hotel, Jake enters the house in a panic after Van's reaction of seeing Cheyenne with Frank.
** Finally, Frank stumbles and collapses on the front door after a series of build-up about Van's reaction to seeing him together with Cheyenne, and Reba is in a panic about what to do about him... only for Jake to take a picture of her and tells her "mom, you've been [[PersonAsVerb Jake'd]]" before the whole incident is revealed to be a part of an elaborate prank.
