* HypocriticalHumor: Dana criticizes Jeremy for boring Isaac with his personal problems, and then she turns around and talks to Isaac about *her* personal problems.
** Also, there's this memorable exchange:
-->'''Natalie:''' I have to say, this is one of those moments I'm compelled to tell you how wonderful you are. Every once in a while I'm reminded how lucky I am that I'm dating a solid, mature man. (''Jeremy gives a forced smile, but doesn't say anything'') [[ItMakesSenseInContext Jeremy, swallow the egg nog.]]
-->'''Jeremy:''' (''opens his mouth, egg nog runs down his shirt'') I just can't.
** Finally, Dan says he hasn't asked who Casey slept with because "it's not what men do." Naturally, after he declares this, he starts asking.

Dana thinks it's because Gordon stood her up last night under suspicious circumstances, but Natalie thinks it's because Dana really likes Casey.

Casey thinks it's because it was too soon after his marriage broke up, but Dan thinks it's because Casey's in love with Dana. That's pretty much it.]]
