* WithFriendsLikeThese: Ginny, Max, Nora, and Abby ''all'' treat each other horribly at various points. Most notably, Ginny [[spoiler: has sex with Max's brother]] and keeps it a secret from her, Max uses her friends as props to try to hook up with a girl at a party, and ''everyone'' ignores Abby while she's struggling with an eating disorder and her parents' divorce and then accuses ''her'' of being selfish when she finally calls them out on it.

* WhatAnIdiot: Ohh boy, does Georgia have several moments of these.
** Who would keep a [[spoiler: poisonous flower]] that could be easily identified ''in their own garden''?
** In Episode 8, Georgia openly takes some money from the Town Hall's account and ''puts half of it in her purse'', separated from the rest. Of course, Cynthia Miller quickly catches on to this.
** It gets better: turns out Georgia was keeping ''all the unregistered checks'' of the money she [[spoiler: stole]] from the Town Hall in her very same office, right next to a computer where any other person could see how those are not registered in the Mayor's Office balance. Oh, put a password, you say? Of course she has it ''written on a post-it under the keyboard''.

* {{Padding}}: It's been noted by reviewers how the show tends to have a musical/dance number/montage in almost every episode that doesn't actually bring anything to the story.

* NeonSignHideout: Georgia has a hidey-hole under a floorboard in her closet where she keeps, among other things, a gun, Austin's letters to his dad that she never actually mailed, and [[spoiler: the cremated remains of her ex-husband's body that she had stolen from his grave.]] Each of her children find this hidey-hole immediately the first time they're in her closet.
