  • When Brent had caffeine withdrawal when giving up coffee, why didn't he drink Coke or energy drinks? The bet explicitly banned coffee, not caffeine.
    • He actually tried to order Coke at the Ruby, but Lacey wouldn't let him. It seems the bet was to give up caffeine, since Lacey also offered him decaf, which he refused.
    • But why did he try to order Coke at the Ruby in the first place? The gas station sells soft drinks too, so he could have just gotten himself a Coke/Pepsi/whatever from the cooler without Lacey knowing about it.
      • Because Wanda would probably have seen it and exploited it for everything it was worth.
  • In "Whataphobia," Wanda is asked what she fears, and she can't think of anything. But we already know from "Oh, Baby" that she has a serious fear of dentists. She won't even consider making a dental appointment unless she has an excruciatingly painful toothache, and even then she needs some convincing.
    • If that dentist appointment went well, she may have gotten over her fear of dentists.
    • She also seems more avoidant of dentists based on genuine bad experiences instead of fearing them irrationally. If she really had a phobia someone might’ve had to force her to go, but she ended up going to her appointment willingly.
  • In the Animated series, Karen and Lacey conclude that neither of them have ever seen Davis get angry. Did they forget how he reacted when breaking in his new boots?
    • The animated series may take place in its own continuity, thus that never happened. Or they just forgot.
