* It's hard not to feel bad for Dennis when he keeps cowering from the family fight buzz button, and eventually gets reduced to crying on the floor.

** At the end of the episode where Dennis goes from modern art to "I wasn't raped", Dee looks frustrated, and everyone else looks at him like they've [[FreudianExcuse connected the dots]].

** While also really funny, the Gang's kid-like joy at getting the presents they've always wanted (Dee and Dennis are notably anxious that Frank is faking them out again), only to get a YankTheDogsChain. Luckily they get to at least throw rocks at trains.

Added DiffLines:

** As interested as Dee looks in Dennis telling her he's perfect for her, it's heavily implied that as soon as he says she needs to take him with her, she thinks it's all just another manipulation. It's not. It's the only genuine and sincere thing in the episode, something that stuns her when she finds out.


Added DiffLines:

** Even more tragic in the script, as when they're told to come in by a woman who looks an awful lot like Barbara Reynolds, Dennis bleakly tells a very anxious Charlie "it's better if you do what they say."


Added DiffLines:

** During their OneDialogueTwoConversations (where Dennis is talking about business and Frank is talking about sex), Frank obliviously assumes this would be something Dennis learned about in school. Ms Klinsky sure did teach him... [[TheChainOfHarm something]].
* Poor Kiki is a HorribleJudgeOfCharacter and thinks Dee is amazing for giving her a compliment because her parents were never there. Dee decides to emotionally torture her and then abandon her.
** Towards the end, Dennis is nearly crying when he expresses a wish to just be normal. The fact the self loathing comes after being raped by the monkey probably says something.
** Charlie bringing up the fact that Dee raped him when he wants to get rid of her. He denies that it's anything mean or personal, but it's another instance of someone in the show being genuinely victimised and also using it for TheChainOfHarm.
