Villain Ball | |
| The Girl in Lovers' Lane / int_1cc2ea8d | comment |
Villain Ball: As Jesse notices the lynch mob attack Bix who accuse of killing Carrie, Jesse got closer to watch and was feeling pretty smug on how Bix was getting blamed for his misdeeds. Good thing Danny showed up at the nick of time to grab Jesse and beat a confession out of him, which he was able to do rather easily. | |

Guilty Until Someone Else Is Guilty | |
| The Girl in Lovers' Lane / int_2d3016e8 | comment |
Guilty Until Someone Else Is Guilty: Carrie is murdered, and a witness sees Bix with her just as she dies. Bix is picked up by the police, and Carrie's father assumes Bix murdered Carrie, even with no trial and the barest of evidence. In a case of Dramatic Irony, the audience knows Jesse is the real murderer. Carrie's father gets a lynch mob to help him drag Bix from the jailhouse and into the street so he can beat Bix to death. Danny arrives and notices Jesse, and after a little persuasion he manages to get Jesse to admit his guilt, which clears Bix's name. | |

| The Girl in Lovers' Lane / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Carrie is dead and Bix is deeply shaken about it, but Danny saves him from being lynched and outs Carrie's real killer. The film ends on a hopeful note as Danny invites Bix to come home with him and get a job working for Danny's father. | |

| The Girl in Lovers' Lane / int_59907e4f | comment |
Police Are Useless: Almost averted. The sheriff locks Bix in the cell to protect him from the lynch mob until he can receive a fair trial, but is useless when it comes to stopping the mob from barging in and taking the keys. | |

Idiot Ball | |
| The Girl in Lovers' Lane / int_7286e96d | comment |
Idiot Ball: Even though the sheriff and his deputy are standing guard, they leave the jailhouse unlocked and have both their guns and the cell keys in easy access for intruders, which the lynch mob very easily takes advantage of. Carrie's murder at the hands of Jesse probably could have easily been prevented. Bix never tried to get the police to go after Jesse and he keeps leaving Carrie alone in the Woods at night and this went on even after he already fought off Jesse earlier. | |

Truth in Television | |
| The Girl in Lovers' Lane / int_875615dd | comment |
Truth in Television: Even though Jesse has been stalking Carrie and she's deeply frightened of him, everyone dismisses him as harmless and no action is taken against him until Danny finally beats a confession out of him for Carrie's assault and murder. Even in the present day stalking is often not taken seriously by authorities, and many women have been raped and murdered by men whom they already reported, yet the police have taken no action to protect them against. | |
