* ImpersonationExclusiveCharacter: Brian poses as Rover so he and Stewie can collect the reward money. All that's known about the real Rover is what he looks like and that he's Chase's missing dog. Later, it's revealed that Rover actually ''ran away'' from his owner and for good reason.



* ReplacementGoldfish: Stewie and Brian conspire to have the latter pose as a missing dog named Rover IV in order to collect the reward money. It backfires spectacularly when it turns out that Rover IV's owner Chase has a propensity to kill his dogs for Internet clout and that he plans to subject Brian to the same fate.

* DumbassHasAPoint: Once Peter manages to land on top of the beer truck the gang was going to rob, he asks what he’s supposed to do now.
