Relationship Revolving Door
 Welcome to Flatch / int_33d5c59d
comment
Relationship Revolving Door: Much of the dramatic momentum of the first season with Cheryl and Joe was about shipping them. The second season was much more up-in-the-air and the writing tries to move the relationship drama in the opposite direction.

Black and Nerdy: Mickey St. Jean is Flatch's resident nerd, who annoys Kelly and Shrub with pedantic nuggets about topics like cryptocurrency. Shrub tries to play nice, however, because Mickey has a PlayStation.

Pop-Cultural Osmosis Failure: Beth was homeschooled by her conspiracy-theorist parents so she knows a lot about survival skills and, incongrously, The British Royal Family but not much about pop-cultural touchstones like Harry Potter.

Small Town Rivalry: It's not entirely clear if Pockton feels this way about Flatch, but the residents of Flatch certainly can't stand Pockton.

Parental Neglect: Kelly's dad is almost sociopathically incapable of being a dependable source of support for his daughter which makes her crave his approval more.

Christianity is Catholic: The people of Flatch seem to think so and address Joe as "Father Joe", despite the fact that he leads a Protestant congregation.

Accidental Misnaming
 Welcome to Flatch / int_af616e40
comment
Accidental Misnaming: Nearly everyone calls Joe "Father Joe" because they mistakenly believe he's a Catholic priest due to the collar he wears. It bothers Joe but his attempts at correcting the townsfolk haven't worked, so far.

Exact Words: When Cheryl looks for Flatch's stolen town sign, the editor of her rival newspaper says "I'd say you need to look far and wide, in and outside to find it." It turns out that the sign is located at the intersection of Farr and Wyde Streets outside an Inn.

The Alleged Car: When June gives Kelly her old car, it turns out the inside has been completely stripped of everything, including seats, and it's essentially just a chassis on wheels. Luckily, she's able to sell it for scrap.
