* Determinator: Dwight is so determined to get the VP position, he goes through a few hours of suffering of appendicitis to appear pro-active to Nelly to impress her. Even after he has to be rolled out on a stretcher, and gets a surgery to remove his appendix, he leaves the hospital prior to being discharged to perform a presentation he is absolutely unprepared for.

* BlatantLies: Andy claims that it looks like he's enjoying working receptionist because he's a good actor. He then hears the phone and excitedly leaves to answer it.
* TheBusCameBack: Well, more accurately the show has jumped onto Todd's bus. He left for Florida when Jim and Dwight tricked him with a fake job offer, but is revealed to now be settled and working for Sabre in Tallahassee.
* CallBack:
** Erin tries waking Stanley up by telling him it's [[Recap/TheOfficeUSS3E5Initiation Pretzel Day]].
** Nellie mentions how she [[Recap/TheOfficeUSS7E25SearchCommitteePart1 applied for manager at the Scranton branch]] and makes it clear to Jim she hasn't forgotten being rejected by him.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When Dwight claims he's a master hunter, Todd asks if he said "masturbator".
--> '''Dwight:''' I’m a decent baiter. My cousin Mose, that’s a master baiter.
* CringeComedy: Dwight's attempt at leading the presentation while struggling with appendicitis, culminating in him trying to be the top of a human pyramid before collapsing. Also later, when he's showing Nellie and Todd his wound.
* CurseCutShort: "You see, this cat’s got nine lives, and a nine-inch--"
* {{Foreshadowing}}: While perusing the hotel gift shop, Dwight asks for a bottle of antacid and proceeds to munch on them throughout, the first hint that he's developing appendicitis.
* OhCrap: Dwight, when Jim reveals he was joking about poisoning Dwight, meaning Dwight actually ''does'' have appendicitis.
** Also PlayedForLaughs later when Dwight claims to the paramedic Jim poisoned him, and Jim has to double back on that.
--> '''Jim:''' The one thing Pam made sure I knew, Florida’s pretty loose with the death penalty.
* StrawMisogynist: InUniverse, Nellie sets up Ryan as one for her introduction by goading him into asking about the ''guy'' leading the presentation, and then standing up to bemoan him and the rest of the panel for expecting a man.
