Tropes that Appear in This Episode

  • Actually Pretty Funny: Moira appreciates Jocelyn's "Spit happens" pun.
  • Awkward Kiss: When Alexis decides to kiss Patrick in revenge for Ted kissing David, it results in the most awkward of awkward kisses.
  • Baby Sitting Episode: Johnny & Moira babysit Roland, jr.
  • Blatant Lies: While Johnny tries to insist the kids' nursery being in a different wing of the house was a design flaw, Moira simply states that she's a light sleeper.
  • Bumbling Dad: Jocelyn is concerned that Johnny will be watching RJ alone, but Roland just rolls with it.
  • Catchphrase: Ted gently mocks Alexis's tendency to say "Ew.".
    Ted: Ew ew ew ew ew. That's you.
  • Crazy Jealous Guy & Clingy Jealous Girl: Alexis and Patrick team up during their huff about Ted kissing David.
  • The Gadfly: Patrick lets David wind him up a little bit about his moment of jealousy during the party. He spots it then joins the fun.
  • Gone Horribly Right: Alexis asks Ted to cut loose and have fun for a night. Turns out that Ted off the leash is the Life of the Party and happy to play bisexual Spin the Bottle. Likewise, Patrick is upset when David finally relaxes and joins in on the party fun.
  • Gosh Dang It to Heck!: Jocelyn notes that, when it comes to infants spitting up, "Spit happens.".
  • Green-Eyed Monster: Alexis is a little jealous at how everyone is ogling her underwear clad boyfriend. She also doesn't much like it when he and David share a surprisingly enthusiastic (on Ted's part) kiss.
  • Hidden Depths: Roland took the time to come up with a three ring binder full of notes on how to take care of RJ. Now, on the other hand, these are Roland's notes...
  • Hilariously Abusive Childhood: David wonders at Patrick's "High School Sleepover" theme, because he doesn't think people hanging out in bras and thongs taking Polaroids of themselves is much fun, and where are they even going to get a salad bowl full of E this last minute?
    Patrick: What was your high school experience like?
    David: What was yours like?
    • Alexis follows up on this by saying she and Ted should go as Hefner and his girlfriend. When Ted wonders how this matches the high school theme, she tells him Hef dated her friend in high school when he was a "very young seventy-seven".
  • History with Celebrity:
    • Moira starred with Joyce Dewitt in a Lifetime Movie.
    • David apparently dressed as a pizza delivery guy to get into Jared Leto's house party.
    • Alexis's high school friend dated Hugh Hefner, but it's not as weird as it sounds because he was a very young 77.
  • Life of the Party: Having polished off Alexis's fruity coolers, Fun Ted arrives at the party and soon becomes the Life of the Party.
  • Lifetime Movie of the Week: Moira starred in Not Without My Cousin with Joyce Dewitt.
  • Lust Object: Despite being in relationships, Stevie, Patrick and David all admire Ted.
  • Spin the Bottle: The game leads to kissing, including Ted laying one on David.
  • Themed Party: Patrick's housewarming has a Slumber Party theme.
  • The Unfair Sex: Alexis is upset about Ted kissing David about five seconds after she shared a kiss with Stevie.
  • Unwanted Assistance: Patrick loves David, but he's wise enough to reject David's party-planning help.
