* FourLinesAllWaiting: One of the few episodes that has almost every character off on their own story: Dennis gets roped into a group of meek guys playing fantasy league games, Dee is drawn into a ''Series/DesperateHousewives'' friendship, Mac and Charlie deal with some middle school kids who stole Mac's bike and Frank tries to pass his drivers license test. Dee's new "friend" [[YouAllShareMyStory happened to be the mother of the kid Frank was trying to bribe to cheat off]]. When Dennis buys a vintage Range Rover from his fantasy league "friend" he ends up picking the rest up on the way back home.



* ShoutOut: Mac corners one of the kids between the wrought-iron fence and steps of the brownstone and begins whaling on him with a trash can lid, [[Film/TheGodfather Sonny Corleone-style]].

* DisappearedDad: Dennis begins to address that he technically still is this to the child he fathered in North Dakota. He stops when he realizes nobody is interested, and then reveals [[ItsAllAboutMe it was a ploy to get their attention long enough to tell him where his car went]].

* [[ClothesMakeTheManiac The Car Makes The Maniac]]: Apparently, a lot of Dennis's ego comes from the type of car he drives, rather than the other way around. When Dee drives a Range Rover, she claims the elevation makes her feel like she is special and looking down on all the little peons. Over the course of the episode, she begins acting more unhinged and Dennis-like, while Dennis, under the influence of his new Prius, becomes more mild and inoffensive.

Why should we have expected something else?


* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Charlie and Mac beat up the bullies who stole Mac's bike, only to get the cops called on them because they're two grown men who assaulted pre-teens.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Aiden is your typical unpleasant "[=DudeBro=]" douche who thinks that everything is lame and doesn't hold back on his negative opinions of Frank and Dennis. After he sees Dennis' pathetically awkward attempt to hit on Tara, he's too disturbed by the tragic display to mock Dennis for it.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Aidan mentions to Frank that he looks old enough to not get carded when buying alcohol. Dee later mistakes him for Karen's 20-something husband and sleeps with him.



* InsultBackfire: Mac doesn't consider being called gay an insult anymore, since he's out and proud now.
