* YourCheatingHeart:
** Dean with a saleswoman at his lot who also appears in their ads.
** Annie has a one night stand with a salesman at a computer store, who turns out to have a wife and daughter. Beth suggests the wife already knows and is just trying to keep her marriage together.
** [[spoiler: A still married Beth develops a ''heavy'' attraction towards Rio and he doesn't bother to hide his attraction to her either. They eventually sleep together - more than once - in season 2.]]
** Annie also sleeps with [[spoiler: her ex-husband, who has remarried and unbeknownst to her is actively trying to have another child through IVF.]]
** Re-meeting Dean's former mistress in season 2, Beth discovers that she was ''far'' from the only woman Dean had been cheating on her with. She does ''not'' take it very well.

* WhatHappenedToThePet: The Bolands' are shown to have a dog in the pilot. However, as the series goes on, the dog makes fewer appearances and disappears from the plot line altogether.

** 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 took her receipt.

** Annie's boss Boomer figures out that she was one of the robbers and tries to coerce her into having sex with him so he won't report her. She returns the favor by taking a picture of his junk and texting it to her daughter[[note]]In reality she sends it to Ruby[[/note]] and threatening to report '''him''' (for sending a sexually explicit image to a minor) if he bothers her anymore.

* BoyishShortHair: Annie's son Ben (then Sadie), who was implied to be genderqueer and preferred masculine dress in season 1, and later comes out as trans in season 2. Unfortunately, this often results in bullying.

Annie Marks is Beth's younger sister and loving mother to the quirky Sadie. Her ex-husband Gregg and his second wife are suing for full custody. To fight them she needs - you guessed it! - money, which is in short supply as she works a minimum wage grocery store cashier job.

* BoyishShortHair: Annie's child, Mercedes (Sadie), who is implied to be genderqueer and prefers masculine dress in season 1, and later [[spoiler: comes out as trans]]. Unfortunately, this often results in bullying.
* BrokenPedestal: Annie becomes this to Sadie and Nancy.[[spoiler: after she reveals she is the "dick" Greg cheated on Nancy with.]]

* TeenPregnancy: Annie and her ex were 17 when their kid Sadie was born.

* WiseBeyondTheirYears: All of the ladies' kids to a degree. Sadie and Sara really stand out.

* NoSympathy: Agent Turner, who shows zero sympathy for the suffering and extreme financial troubles of the main characters and goes to borderline sadistic extremes in his pursuit of justice, but is still framed (and clearly sees himself) as a [[WellIntentionedExtremist hardass but well-meaning law enforcement officer]] who's just trying to do his job.

* DiabolusExMachina: Arguably Agent Turner's dogged and even obsessive pursuit of Beth, which goes far over and above the priority her level of criminal activity would realistically be at for a federal agent, but with no apparent special motivation behind it.

* CounterfeitCash: The shipment Beth, Ruby and Annie smuggle from Canada for Rio in Season 1 turns out to be this, disguised as gift wrapping paper.

The three hit upon the idea to rob the store where Annie works, which they expect to have about $30,000 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. Also complicating matters is the fact that Annie's disgusting boss Boomer knows what they did and ends up their hostage.
