 Bookends: In her first scene, Penny eludes her pursuers by using her black dress to pass for a garbage bag in a dumpster. In the last scene, both women pull off the trick by using their golden dresses to pass for prop presents under a big Christmas tree.

 Contrived Coincidence: Invoked for the con. The famous therapist that this poor girl needs to regain her sight just happens to be at the hotel's lobby at that precise moment. What are the odds?
