Tropes That Appear In This Episode

  • Bait-and-Switch: Stevie reminds Johnny that his book opens with "trust your instincts". Johnny tells Stevie that comes with age and experience, and she corrects him to say "I want to trust your instincts. If you think that this is a good idea, I want back in.".
  • Be Careful What You Wish For: Stevie was afraid Johnny was going to ask her to come back to the motel, and is disappointed when he instead offers to buy her out so she can have some stability while still following her dreams.
  • Bifauxnen: Stevie dons a suit to act as a Moira's and Johnny's limo driver.
  • The Cynic: Having seen the trailer, Ronnie asks Alexis about her liquor license, assuming people will want to drink for this movie.
  • Damned by Faint Praise: Alexis specifies that Moira is a "twelve time Daytime Emmy Award attending actress".
  • Everything's Better with Sparkles: Both Moira and Ronnie wear glittering dresses to the premiere.
  • Found Family: Twyla and Jocelyn are incredibly excited to share in Moira's special day at the premiere.
  • Happily Married: Moira insists Johnny walk beside her on the Merlot carpet, when in the past she asked him to walk 10 feet behind her so she could hog the limelight.
  • Instant Humiliation Just Add Youtube: The last scene features the Roses realizing that footage of the disastrous Crows Premiere has gone viral, with thousands of shares.
  • Parental Substitute: Johnny is very understanding of Stevie wanting to find a life outside of the motel and gifts her his book to say he followed his dreams and she should follow hers, but when she says she wants to join The Rosebud Motel Group, he acts like a proud papa and is overjoyed.
  • Pimped-Out Dress: Turns out Moira did not return the sparkly, pink dress from Season 5.
  • Roll Out the Red Carpet: Ronnie manages to find a red carpet for the premiere, which she, Roland and Jocelyn are very excited to walk.
  • She Cleans Up Nicely: Ronnie slays the red carpet in a sparkling cocktail dress. A number of the town's usual background actors also show up in black tie.
  • The Stoner:
    • Patrick is very high on pain pills after getting his wisdom teeth out.
    • David and Patrick both take the pain pills, thus are glassy-eyed and high off their asses during the premiere's crow attack.
  • Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Moira demands crows be released at the premiere. Having been stuck in a box for an hour, they're naturally upset and attack the crowd. Because there were news crews present, the incident gets recorded and goes viral.
  • Technologically Blind Elders: Johnny has been struggling with the computer while Stevie has been away. This includes forgetting the instructions on how to open a file "'File' —> 'Open'".
  • Took a Level in Badass: Moira changes the event from a watch party to a genuine premiere with a few hours notice
