Tropes featured in this episode:
- The Bet: Darnell makes Spencer bet that if the Eagles win, he will walk away, but if they lose, Spencer will help him find Corey.
- Changed My Mind, Kid: Although the Chargers lose the rematch, Spencer decides to help Darnell find Corey, after all.
- Everyone Has Standards: Rochelle is horrified upon realizing that her father paid a bribe to get a leeway in the rematch.
- The Fettered: Spencer takes a knee, because he doesn't want to continue playing along Cliff's rematch gambit anymore. In response, Darnell follows suit.
- Let's Just Be Friends: Olivia declines to commit to a relationship with Asher, because she needs him as a best friend right now, not a boyfriend.
- Mockumentary: Parts of the episode are shot documentary-style, as Rochelle films the Eagles in the lead-up to the rematch.
- Secretly Dying: It is revealed that Corey is dealing with a resurgence of multiple myeloma (cancer that attacks plasma cells), and he chose to depart because he doesn't want his family to see him slowly die.
- Throwing the Fight: Cliff pays a bribe to have some leeway between the rematch of the Eagles and Chargers, therefore, whether Beverly wins or not, or the match turns rowdy or not, he profits anyway.
