* RunningGagged: One major plot point of the episode is that Greendale will no longer tolerate paintball within the campus (although Frankie rescinds the expulsion and firing of those she caught playing in the end). Also the meta detail that this is one of the last three episodes of the series.

* ExcessiveSteamSyndrome: Invoked. The Museum of Custodial Arts has an exhibit of pipes that can spew steam on command. Lapari uses them to annoy Jeff and the Dean, though he acknowledges that the steam can't stop them, since it'd be a lousy museum exhibit if it prevented people from moving past.

In fact, Jeff points out to the Dean and Lapiri that Frankie wants a better school and they have to stop fighting her by undermining her authority. Frankie overhears and is touched; she rescinds the expulsion and firing order, but as punishment makes the Save Greendale Committee dress up as babies because the few hours of humiliation will have a bigger impact on them.
