10 Things You Only Notice Rewatching Schitt's Creek

5. Alexis And Twyla's Dresses

When we first meet Alexis Rose, she is a self-absorbed celebutante. When her house is repossessed, she cares more about potentially losing her clothes than her family's reputation being irreparably tarnished.

But like all the Roses, Alexis' time in Schitts Creek enabled her to grow and discard her narcissistic ways. To symbolise she has outgrown her vices, the final episode has Alexis giving her dresses away to Twyla. As Twyla looks at her new wardrobe, she holds up a pink cocktail dress to Alexis in admiration. If there was a part of you that felt like you've seen this dress before, you were right. This is the same garment Alexis wore in the opening episode. Not only was this a nice touch, the fact that it references the dress Alexis was wearing while she was still an entitled brat highlights further how much Alexis has changed over the years.

Although some viewers got this reference, it wasn't the only Easter egg related to Alexis' dresses. At David's wedding, Twyla dons the same black gown Alexis wore at Moira's birthday in Season 1.
