* PointyHairedBoss: Robert has been slowly becoming this over the course of the season, but it really reaches its apex here: he drunkenly closes down an entire branch overnight without any transition plan and not even he understood why he did so. Harry believes that Dunder Mifflin is likely to go under in a few months with him in charge, leaving Jim and Dwight worried.

While drunk, Robert shuts down Dunder Mifflin's Binghamton branch. Andy prepares to make his comeback by temporarily forming his own rival paper company. Jim and Dwight work together to defeat a rival Dunder Mifflin salesman who wants the Binghamton branch's clients.

* BadassBoast: When Andy calls Robert to tell him he's scored Prestige as his client, and so if Robert hires him back, the client is theirs. Recognizing this as [[{{Blackmail}} blackmail]], Robert offers the following retort:
--> '''Robert:''' I will not be blackmailed by some ineffectual, privileged, effete, soft-penised debutante. You wanna start a street fight with me, bring it on! You’re gonna be surprised by how ugly it gets. You don’t even know my real name! I'm the [[PrecisionFStrike '''*BLEEP*'''ing]] lizard king!
* InVinoVeritas: Actually cited directly by Robert, who while drunk celebrating the finalization of his divorce, closed down an entire branch overnight, as well as sending flirtatious texts to Nellie.
* GodzillaThreshold: Andy calls Robert to use a big client having signed off with him as leverage, but Robert refuses to budge. So Andy resorts to Plan B, which is marching up to David Wallace's house to propose a big investment to him: Dunder Mifflin.

* SmartBall: Andy, despite having previously been the worst salesman, somehow manages two seemingly impossible sales in this episode: convincing a huge company to choose him as their paper provider by making up his own paper company on the spot, and when that fails to coerce Robert, going up to David Wallace himself and convincing him to buy back Dunder Mifflin from Sabre.
* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: Andy keeps showing up to the office despite no longer being employed. Robert sees him doing dishes in the kitchen and asks what it'll take for him to finally leave.
* ThrowTheDogABone: Pam agrees to steal Nellie's phone for Robert to see so he can figure out what voicemail he left her last night. However, going through each voicemail reveals among other things that Nellie is having bad shopaholic issues and has been turned down by an adoption agency. Feeling bad for her, Pam deletes the messages and gives the phone back to Nellie as they bond over Robert being a pig.
