* FireAndBrimstoneHell: DefiedTrope when Mr. Zero discusses what the place is actually like.
-->'''Zero:''' Don’t worry, Peter; you’ll like it down below.\\
'''Peter:''' What about the fires?\\
'''Zero:''' People are always talking about the fires. You don’t burn; all you feel is a sense of depression.



-->'''Mike:''' If you love music, man, you can play music. If, uh, people say "Well, I can’t carry a note, I can’t, I can’t say, I can’t sing, I, I’m tone deaf." But nobody’s tone deaf, and if you love music, then you can play music. And all it takes is just love, because, uh, because, baby, in the final analysis, love is power. That’s where the power’s at. And, and, and you want to tell me that you gave it to him, but I know different, because I’m a musician.

The devil is in the details, especially with music contracts. Peter carelessly sells his soul for the love of music, and the Monkees fight to save him. Based on ''Faust''.

The devil is in the details, especially with music contracts. Peter carelessly sells his soul for the love of music, and the Monkees fight to save him. Based on ''Faust''.
''Literature/TheDevilAndDanielWebster'' (and indirectly on ''Literature/{{Faust}}'').



Zero calls Billy the Kid, Blackbeard the pirate, and Attila the Hun as witnesses, all of whom confirm Zero was the secret to their success. Mike calls Zero as his witness and declares that the contract for fame and fortune is invalid. Peter only wanted his music, which inherently comes from his soul. Zero argues he gave Peter the ability to play in exchange for his soul, who agrees it was almost worth it. Mike tells the court that the love of music gave Peter the power to play, and anyone who nurtures their love of music has that power, because love is power. Zero laughs and snaps Peter back to the same state in which he found him. Mike asks Peter to play. Peter’s not convinced, but Mike reassures him that he owns his power and his ability. Peter walks to the harp and plays a beautiful version of “I Wanna Be Free” that moves most of the court to tears. Micky and Davy silently cheer, while Mike intently concentrates on the music with his bandmate.\\\

* VerySpecialEpisode: The band is unusually subdued for this one, even dressing in plain button-up shirts. Also, since the topic hit close to home for Peter and Michael offscreen, their acting is more mature than usual here. Most of the comedy is left to Davy and Micky.
