You know dave there's a fine line between Villain and Plot Gremlin

therapy plot

A therapy plot is a variation on the "idiot plot", which is a term to describe a story "kept in motion solely by virtue of the fact that everybody involved is an idiot," and that could be quickly solved if the characters were just a bit brighter.

A therapy plot is the same kind of idea, but where the story is purely kept in motion by the fact that every character desperately needs to see a therapist.

"Wow, this book is such a therapy plot. Why are none of these characters seeing a professional?"

Glycogen plot

A smartass way of saying "twisted plot", usually one of exceptional quality.
Named for the fact that glycogen is an alpha glucose polymer with a lot of glycosidic linkage which is NOT between carbons 1 and 4, hence branched ("twisted") as a motherfucker. And a twisted plot is, of course, a highly creative plot of unexpected developments.

The hour-long episodes are better, they take all kinds of exciting turns. They have glycogen plots, one could say.
