* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: Edie and Pam to extremes. Including Edie giving a blowjob to Pam's crush, [[Film/{{Carrie|1976}} dumping blood on her at her prom]], and the two fist fighting upon seeing each other again.
* HateSink: Edie, who spends all of her screen time being a complete and utter bitch to everybody around her, especially Pam.

That Edie is almost killed and learns her wedding got ruined because her fiance got a blow job (from Midge) at the rehearsal dinner, gives Pam ''immense'' satisfaction.

* SpiritualSequel: To "El Secuestro." Both episodes involve Pam getting kidnapped and treated like crap, but whereas Archer could've cared less when Pam was abducted in "El Secuestro," here he not only goes to rescue her but drags along her bitch sister Edie by force. Both episodes also highlight Pam's past and her badass capabilities, when she effortlessly took beatings from the kidnappers and later [[spoiler: snapped one of their necks]] to [[spoiler: blowing Barry apart with explosive ammo and doing far more damage to him than anyone else had done in the past.]] Also, that Pam later on gets to enjoy avenging herself on those who made her miserable, like preparing to beat the shit out of Malory for offering a pathetic five grand to save her and savoring that Edie's wedding has been ruined.
