* ShoutOut: Sondra is likened by Allyson to her [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Gandalf]], Oprah and Dr. Phil. This is likely a reference to Sean Astin gaining prominence for Samwise in the film trilogy.

* GuiltByCoincidence: The fathers borrow the minivan because they need it to transport the kids. Their messages to the mothers go missing because Alysson confiscated their phones at the beginning of the night and stuck them in the minivan. The mothers report the van as stolen, which leads to a police chase and subsequent arrest of Kevin and Marco.

* NotWhatItLooksLike: Several. Bridget sees her ex (baby Phoenix's dad) with an attractive blonde and thinks he dumped the boy to go on a date, when [[spoiler: he's actually interviewing for a job]].
