* GallowsHumor: A spot of this happens when the Hammonds' GPS system directs them to an industrial park, where the hooded killer is waiting with a pistol in hand:
--> '''GPS System:''' You have arrived at Skyline Hills Resort.\\
'''Lawrence Hammond:''' The hell I have!\\
[''The shooter steps up to the passenger's side window, and empties a pistol into the car from point blank range'']\\
'''GPS System:''' Thank you for using the Safe Voyage System.

* ProtagonistCenteredMorality: Since Scott Gregorio is a genuine NiceGuy, the heroes (and, by extension, the audience) are rooting for him to succeed throughout the episode. However, Scott was still having an affair with a married woman, and there's no indication that Lawrence Hammond, the woman's husband, was cruel in any way; the Hammonds' housekeeper even mentions that Lawrence was also a kind man who was nothing but good to his employees. Scott does get some slack considering the villain of the episode is willing to murder two people in cold blood specifically to hurt him emotionally.

* RunningGag: There's a heavy emphasis on Monk's inability to tell jokes or pick up on sarcasm throughout the episode. When he ''does'' successfully manage to crack a few quips, Sharona is nothing but proud.
* SarcasmBlind: Monk tries to clean off a smudge on a basketball, unaware that it was an autograph from Michael Jordan. The owner says it's okay; he'll just get Michael to re-sign the ball. Sharona has to tell Monk that he's not serious.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: Stottlemeyer's son is thirteen--too old for Little League--but he's still allowed to play thanks to a "special dispensation" that the captain somehow obtained, and it's heavily implied he used his pull on the force to make it happen, as Sharona asks "How many parking tickets did you have to fix?" Later, Stottlemeyer tries again by threatening the umpire with a visit from the health inspector...but this time it's [[SubvertedTrope subverted]], as the umpire declares ScrewThisImOuttaHere and storms off.
