Could Have Avoided This Plot is when characters realize their conflict wouldn't have existed had something been done differently.


* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: Lou and Stu completely forget that Angelica exists and that she’s very much the kind of girl who loves beauty contests. A phone call to Drew would have made this plot nonexistent.

* EurekaMoment: After the whole mess is out in the open, Angelica is declared the winner. It takes a moment for Lou to realize that means he still has an in to use the boat.



* TemptingFate: Didi is perfectly fine with leaving Lou behind at the mall, saying he can think about what his actions during the long walk home. Cue Drew's car passing by, with Lou happily riding on the towed boat.



* {{Fainting}}: After seeing Bucky catch Tommy on live TV, Didi is overwhelmed and promptly hits the floor.



* OhCrap:
** Bucky when he sees Tommy falling right towards him.
** As everyone marvels over Bucky's catch, Lou says the baby looks a lot like Tommy. He checks the seat next to him and realizes that ''is'' Tommy, leading to a loud, "JUMPIN' JEHOSHAPHAT!"



--> '''Lou:''' What do I look like, a scoreboard!?

* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: Had Lou remembered that he does in fact have a granddaughter in Angelica (who was already in the contest because she wanted to be, unlike the uncomfortable Tommy who was DraggedIntoDrag), the whole plot could have easily been avoided.

-->'''Angelica:''' Don't I know you?\\
'''Tommy:''' ''[falsetto voice]'' Uh, no. I don't think so.\\
'''Angelica:''' I know this, Goldilocks: next to me, you're the cutest little girl in the show.\\
'''Tommy:''' Um, you really think so?\\
'''Angelica:''' Pretty funny, kid, but remember this: if you win, you're going to regret it.
