History Series / GoodGirls

** Ends up subverted as Marion confronts Boomer on how she read some time ago about Alba married with children and knew he was lying but just played along with it. She's not confronting him on how he needs to get a real girlfriend.

* CelebrityLie: Boomer's grandmother shows the girls a photo of his girlfriend...who they recognize as Jessica Alba.

* CounterfeitCash: Rio's (presumably primary) business. He has the women go to Canada to bring back sheets of $100 bills rolled inside wrapping paper, which is processed at an abandoned warehouse when they return to Michigan. Beth later suggests he let them launder it through big-box stores by exploiting the return policies, since, being ordinary housewives they would effectively be BeneathSuspicion (they also find out it is ''very'' well made counterfeits, easily fooling the machines).

The three hit upon the idea to rob the store where Annie works, which they expect to have about $30 thousand on-hand. They empty the safe and return home to find themselves in possession of half a million. Bad news, since that haul comes from shady sources, namely the tattooed Rio and his gang. Initially Rio demands that they pay back the money with interest or [[IllKillYou face predictable consequences]]. When he seems about to make good on his threat, Beth calls him an idiot and points out that the three of them are normal, previously law-abiding people, and their deaths would make more of a splash than Rio is accustomed to. He spares their life but comes back with a business proposal.

* BavarianFireDrill: Beth picks up a clipboard at an electronics store and psychs out an employee to get info on another employee, one who slept with Annie and [[ItMakesSenseInContext took her receipt]].

* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: A variation as Rico is totally ready to kill the trio off. However, Beth points out that killing three women known as good, law-abiding suburban mothers will just invite a major investigation that he's not ready for. He thus realizes that letting them live not only spares him some heat but also that the trio can be useful after all.

** They try to pay off their debt by suggesting selling off expensive figurines. Instead, Rico is ready to kill all of them and has his boys smash the place up to make it look like a home invasion.

* YourCheatingHeart: Dean with a saleswoman at his lot who also appears in their ads.

* HistoryRepeats: In the pilot, Dean comes home to find Beth waiting at a table in the dark to confront him on his affair.
* IllGirl: Ruby's daughter Sara, of an unspecified kidney ailment. She tries to live normally, attending classes and playing on the soccer team. Five episodes later, Beth comes home to find Dean confronting her, having gotten an inkling of what she's doing. They even end up repeating the exact same lines the other used with Dean snapping "we have kids!" and Beth replying "I don't know how it happened."
