Tropes that Appear in this Episode

  • Bait-and-Switch: It looks like Moira is the one driving the Lincoln, only for the reveal that Jocelyn is behind the wheel and Moira has her free hand on the back of the front seat.
  • Big Brother Instinct: David loves Alexis and sticks up for her in this episode.
  • Big Damn Kiss: David plants one on Patrick right before delivering his reciprocal Love Confession.
    • Ted gives Alexis one of these in front of the Singles Week crowd.
  • Character Development: While trying to mediate a disagreement between Alexis and Moira, Johnny notes that Alexis has been doing a lot of work on herself. David later tells Ted the same thing.
  • Series Fauxnale: Or a season fauxnale. With the multiple love confessions and big damn kisses and the birth of Roland's and Jocelyn's son, you could be excused for thinking this was the last episode of the season.
  • The "I Love You" Stigma: David has trouble saying "I love you" and has only said it twice to his parents and once at a Mariah Carey concert. He works up to telling Patrick this episode.
  • It's All About Me: Moira is so distraught about Jocelyn being in labor, Jocelyn has to be the one to drive them to the hospital.
  • Karma Houdini:Johnny takes Roland's phone away during their meeting and forgets to give it back, meaning that Roland misses that Jocelyn's in labor. Once he hears he's so flustered he doesn't notice when Johnny gives him his phone back.
  • Love Confession: Patrick finally tells David he loves him, leaving David in the position of having to decide how and if he can say it back.
  • Good Parents: Moira's a great mother to Alexis in this episode (after a brief disagreement early in the episode).
  • Grand Romantic Gesture: Ted shows up at Alexis's Singles Week event to declare his love.

    • Knowing David will need an escape in order to process his Love Confession, Patrick reminds him that he forgot to bring his tea.

  • Screaming Birth: Jocelyn gives birth to Roland, jr and screams during the labor.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: As the argument between Moira and Alexis over chairing Singles Week continues, Johnny nopes out because he knows he won't be able to put an end to it.
