* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: The Van Houtens have helmed an expensive group vacation in Costa Rica every year for many years, despite the fact that they seemingly live on the income from various BurgerFool-grade jobs held by Kirk, meaning that they should be even more strapped for cash than the Simpsons, who have reason to worry that Marge's impulsive decision to take the trip will ruin them. Turns out Kirk's family owns the villa they pretend to rent and they invite other families, charging them huge sums, in order to afford a vacation at all.

** The episode ends with the Van Houtens getting attacked by the monkeys and standing in the middle of the destroyed home of one of Luann's relatives, which they moan will put them even deeper in the poor house to fix (and even if that went well, now that people know of their vacation scam they will never be able to get as much money as they did before).

* TheCon: TheReveal of the episode is that the Van Houtens have been running a scam for a while now: the luxury villa they use for the "shared vacation" is actually owned by them. So they invite other families to visit, charge whatever they want claiming that they are handling the shared finances but are actually pocketing the money and using that to pay for themselves.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: While Marge's typically-sound judgement is clouded by how badly she wants to take the trip, ''Homer'' is very concerned about the effect it will have on their finances at first and has to be talked into taking the leap. Overhearing this sends Lisa into a spiral of panic.
