Rebecca auditions for a local community theater revue, which Josh, Valencia, and Nathaniel also end up participating in. Paula interviews for different law firms, while Greg and Heather start fixing up Greg's father's restaurant for his thesis.


Tropes:

  • Abduction Is Love: The song Valencia performs is about a woman who was kidnapped by a pirate and rationalizes his abuse with love.
  • Almost Kiss: Nathaniel and Rebecca almost kiss following the revue, but Rebecca breaks the moment.
  • Cowboys and Indians: Implied by the title of the in-universe musical, Saloon Nights and Injun Fights.
  • Madonna-Whore Complex: From "Etta Mae's Lament": "There are only two types of women / Me and virgins you commit to." Rebecca namedrops it when discussing the song.
  • Running Gag: Connie throwing her scarf over her shoulder and sacking someone in the face in the process.
  • Values Dissonance: In-Universe, the songs the characters are doing have very backwards views on women, which makes Rebecca conflicted. "Etta Mae's Lament" is about a prostitute who feels worthless without a husband; "I'm the Bride of a Pirate" is about writing off the abuse of an abusive man.
