* ForeignCussWord: Petra lets out a plethora of Czech insults while giving birth.
* FriendshipMoment: Jane assisting Petra during the birth obviously helps them forge a deeper bond.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Unlike Jane and Michael, Petra is unaware that Rafael is cooperating with the police, and thinks he's just reverted back to his MillionairePlayboy ways.
* MethodActing: Parodied in-universe during Rogelio's captivity, where he attempts to fake feelings for Lola. [[AC:[=#RogelioDeLaDayLewis=] [=#RogelioDeLaBrando=] [=#RogelioDeLaDeNiro=]]]
-->'''Latin Lover Narrator''': Bravo, Rogelio! Creator/DanielDayLewis would be proud!
* InstantBirthJustAddWater: Discussed when Petra's water breaks at Angelique's book signing, but otherwise averted as Petra takes a realistic amount of time to give birth.
-->'''Woman''': It's not a big splash like you see on TV.
* PopCulturalOsmosisFailure: In-universe, Petra and Rafael had no idea that the protagonists of ''Frozen'' were named Elsa and Anna, so Petra has no problem naming their twins those.
-->'''Petra''': Oh, no one except for you would think of that.
* PortmanteauCoupleName: Invoked. Rogelio asks if Lola prefers 'Rola' or 'Logelio'.
* StockholmSyndrome: Discussed and conversed. Lola refers to such a plot on Rogelio's first telenovela, where his character kept a woman in a cage until she fell in love with him, and intends to do the same to him when she traps him in his condo.
* ShoutOut:
** To ''Disney/{{Frozen}}'' with the ThemeTwinNaming, even as Petra and Rafael deny naming their kids after the protagonists.
** To ''Film/SlidingDoors'', as pointed out by the narrator, when Jane starts imagining "what-if"s to her and Michael's situation. Also a TakeThat, since Petra hates that film.
** To ''Series/{{Scandal}}'', which both Jane and Michael are fans of. Michael imagines the search for Rafael's half-brother as a fast-paced ''Scandal''-type briefing, while Jane uses "Olivia Poperson" as an alias.
* SlutShaming: Xo is upset at Alba for reprimanding her for sleeping around in her youth, especially following the revelation that Alba lost her virginity to a man that wasn't her husband. Alba later tells her that she treated Xo like that because of her own experiences with slut-shaming after her relationship with Pablo was discovered.
* SweetPollyOliver: Present in both Jane's chapter and Angelique's new book, which is why Jane initially thinks Angelique ripped her off. But as she rereads her novel she realizes that they weren't actually that similar, and Jane ripped off ''Theatre/TwelfthNight'' anyway.
* ThreeMonthOldNewborn: The twins are much larger than any newborn would be, especially for a multiple birth.
* TranquilFury: Invoked. Petra advises Jane to pitch her anger this way, since it's "much scarier". The narrator agrees.
