Tropes present in the episode:

  • Abusive Parents: Jodi's father is sexually molesting her.
  • Badass Boast: Big Boy, of all people, gets one.
    Mr. Pierce: I don't know whether to leap over that desk or call my lawyer.
    Big Boy: You'd have better luck with a lawyer.
  • Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs:
    Harvey: I'll admit I'm old-fashioned, but am I a racist?
    Marla: Yes, Harvey, you are an old-fashioned racist.
  • N-Word Privileges:
    Harvey: I should be safe and call them "African American black colored negroes." Is this why you want to fire me, because I'm off on terminology?
  • Unfocused During Intimacy: Lisa and Milton are engaged in an intimate moment, but Milton just stares straight up at the ceiling, clearly encumbered with guilt.
