** Emma tries to forge a bond with gay couple Marty and Will after meeting them, on the grounds that she's bisexual. Both are pretty put off (Will particularly).
** Lala later tries to introduce Alex, her son, to Marty and Will as he's also gay with the same intention. They have a similar reaction.
* ContrivedCoincidence: [[spoiler:In the series finale, Jack and Emma drive to San Diego so they can find Izzy. They pull into a diner on the way that Izzy just happens to be leaving with Leo at the same time.]]



* FirstWorldProblems: Izzy calls other thirds complaints about such things as being given very expensive vacations they didn't want by their partners this after hearing them vent while at the polyamory support group.



* HeterosexualLifePartners: Izzy and Nina are very close, in spite of their [[VitriolicBestBuds faux vitriol to each other]]. They confide in and give each other comfort whenever it's needed, acting very much like a [[PseudoRomanticFriendship romantic couple at times]] (as Izzy's bisexual, they could be even more mistaken as such). Even when both have serious romantic relationships with other people, their own friendship remains like this.

* IResembleThatRemark: Jack gets annoyed by a woman saying he's "loud and aggressive" while canvassing. This causes him to genuinely get that way during his heated denial of it.



* LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: Izzy and Nina almost constantly snipe at each other, but they are nonetheless best friends with an undying loyalty to each other.



* LipstickLesbian: Izzy and Emma are both feminine bisexuals, especially the latter. Both of them wear blouses, skirts and makeup regularly, with Emma having fairly long hair, Izzy's slightly shorter, while they act conventially feminine overall, though it's not especially pronounced.

* MetaphoricalMarriage: Emma, Jack and Izzy marry each other in an extralegal commitment ceremony to cement their [[{{Polyamory}} polyamorous]] trio.



* NoBisexuals: Many people have doubts that Emma isn't a lesbian once she gets involved with Izzy, even though Jack is [[{{Polyamory}} also a part of the relationship]]. He thinks this for a time too, worrying Emma and Izzy are only attracted to each other really, not him. Emma doubts it herself for a short time, but it turns out [[SubvertedTrope she's genuinely bisexual]], as is Izzy. [[spoiler:However, after she's left him and begins dating her ex Kylie again, Jack believes this means she always was a closeted lesbian, as does Carmen. Yet they still have another threesome with Izzy. After confessing this to her girlfriend Kylie, the latter angrily calls Emma a "tourist lesbian", while describing her having sex with Jack as some kind of "closure" to their relationship. Emma denies it, claiming that she's a full on lesbian. Later though she admits to wanting Jack and Izzy back, leaving Kylie to reunite with them, calling herself bisexual again to others. Izzy being bisexual however is never questioned, whether by words or actions.]]

* PseudoRomanticFriendship: Izzy and Nina, her roommate/best friend, seem ''really'' close. Nina acts like a jealous girlfriend when Izzy starts being with other people more as she's entering a relationship, going from pouting to even weeping over their distance. They also like {{holding hands}} pretty often, confide in each other, cuddle fairly often and profess their love for each other. Given that Izzy's bisexual and enters a [[{{Polyamory}} trio with a man and woman]] one might think it's more than simply friendship, but this turns out to be just a reflection of how close they are (Nina [[IncompatibleOrientation only shows attraction to men]]).
