** Bars have bouncers, lines, and expensive drinks for reasons. They're not ''good'' reasons, but they're real reasons.
** A memorial for a dead relative on the anniversary for a reason doesn't have to be a lone moment, it can be shared with friends, family, even strangers.
** The New Year doesn't have to be a shitty let-down, it actually ''can'' be a chance for new beginnings. Robin gets promoted to co-host alongside Sandy, and Lily's dad proves he's turned over a new leaf and is willing to drive overnight halfway across the country to celebrate his daughter's good news in person.

* RageBreakingPoint: {{Subverted}}, because just as Marshall is about to explode at someone for opening a ''hard cider'' on his father's tombstone, someone else interrupts to ask for ''yet another'' bit of food, but accidentally calls him Marvin, because he's so much like his dad. This leads to the realization that Marvin would have '''''loved''''' this memorial, because he always accepted strangers into his tailgate, turning them into new friends.
