* AmicableExes: Joel and Britt, who spend the first season engaged and planning their wedding, break up beginning season 2, but are cordial with each other, and when they finally sign their divorce papers even give a "Divorce Party".


Added DiffLines:

* BittersweetEnding: At the season 2 end
** Samantha has lost [[spoiler:Olivia as a sponsor and doesn't yet get along well with Olivia's successor, Darby--but at least Samantha and Darby]] seem to be warming up to each other.
** Samantha and Alex have [[spoiler:broken up after a nasty fight, but they are acting civil to each other and probably will be able to function as]] co-workers again.
** Samantha and James are [[spoiler:amicable with each other again and probably even romantically interested in each other--but Samantha has just realized she is not ready for a relationship now, and James' sobriety is relatively new, so a romantic relationship between them]] would be difficult, if even possible.
** Carol has lost her [[spoiler:fiance Bob, there was a rift in her relationship with her daughter Samantha, and several people have called her out on her {{Jerkass}}ness. But she is actively working on improving her relationship with Samantha (even apologising to her), goes to support groups to work on herself, and it's even hinted she might have a new romantic relationship]].
** Felicia and her boyfriend's relationship is going well, but [[spoiler:now he wants to move to Michigan for work. She has to decide if she wants to move with him (away from all her friends in Malden, and away from the father of her son who recently has gotten back in their son's live), go long-distance relationship with him, break up with him, or ask him to give up a great career opportunity]]. Whatever she chooses it will be difficult for her.

Unnecessary indentation.


* ''ArmorPiercingQuestion'': When Samantha's former boss (whom she has a history with -- her physically attacking him was what got her sent to rehab) happens to have become her current boss at her current job (awkward, of course), she immediately quits the job, and then goes venting to Olivia about the situation. When Olivia then questions Sam quitting her job like this by asking Sam "Were you protecting your sobriety, or were you protecting your ego?"--Sam suddenly becomes much less secure and is visibly shaken (she ends up getting Olivia's point, and returning to her job).

* WritersCannotDoMath: In Season 1 Episode 1/2, when in-universe it's near day 0 of her sobriety, Samantha is mentioned to be 28 years old then. In the last episode of the season, 367 days (so more than a year) have passed according to the same sobriety calculator, so a birthday ''must'' have occured--yet she again mentions she's 28 years old. This isn't possible, she should have been 29 at this point. Then in Season 2 Episode 1, she ''does'' celebrate her 29th birthday--on day 549 of her sobriety. This should have been her 30th birthday.
