Rescinding my edit. I don't even know if this is considered a plot hole or not.

* AdultsAreUseless / PoliceAreUseless: The adults don't believe the kids when they investigate the goings-on at Happy Endings. Bonus points for Sunset, a police officer, for refusing to believe her own daughter, but it is after they and Felix take a second look after the kids help Suga Mama free Papi do the adults finally realize the truth.



* CassandraTruth: When the kids learn about Happy Endings' true nature, they try to tell the adults what they witnessed. But the idea of elders being used as slaves for an okra farm is so [[RefugeInAudacity outlandishly cruel]] that they don't fully believe them. It doesn't help that when the adults ''do'' investigate the kids' claims, Helga has already gotten rid of any evidence that Happy Endings is anything but a generous retirement home. See also PoliceAreUseless below, granting Sunset bonus points for this trope.

* SpottingTheThread: What tips off Suga Mama that the kids were telling the truth is that the feet of the Papi they all saw apparently living it up at Happy Endings when the families went to check on him were way too small for it to be really him. The Papi they saw being pampered was, in fact, one of Helga's cronies disguised as him, which is also done with the other residents in an effort for Helga to cover up her operation should visitors show up.

* VileVillainSaccharineShow: The show is a relatively light-hearted sitcom, but the administrator Helga is outright disturbing that her cruelty is played VERY seriously. Her sadism towards the elderly who enter Happy Endings, making them farm okra, and ruthless determination to hunt those who leave make her stand out. At best, any other villain who appeared was pretty over the top and had some humor attached to them.
