Tropes That Appear in This Episode

  • Accidental Pervert: Johnny walks in on Stevie taking a selfie to send to "her doctor" (Emir, it's for Emir) in a room with no door. There's a bit of shock, but it doesn't go that badly.
  • All Gays are Promiscuous: Played with. David is sincere in his belief that Patrick might need to explore, even as he becomes insecure about it. Patrick, on the other hand, feels no need to see other guys.
  • Big "WHAT?!": Patrick is shocked that David would suggest he do something with Ken.
  • Call-Back: In addition to pot brownies, Jocelyn brought some Jampaigne.
  • Character Development: Alexis counsels David about him sending Patrick off with Ken, but then insists she has to stay with David to support him (ditching her evening with Ted) through his anxiety and tell him how much he's grown.
  • Chekhov's Gunman: Pay very careful attention to the man browsing in Rose Apothecary for just a little too long while David tries to convince Patrick to go nuts with Ken.
  • Crazy Jealous Guy: Downplayed. David sincerely doesn't want to be jealous, but he gets jealous thanks to Alexis's well-meaning but unhelpful input.
  • Deliberate Values Dissonance: Invoked with the employee instruction takes from Rose Video, created thirty years earlier.
  • Gag Haircut: Moira suggests that Jocelyn "Rock On" despite her age, and this results in Jocelyn getting a haircut inspired by her love of the band Poison.
  • Glory Days: Jocelyn mourns the loss of her rocking youth.
  • Hidden Depths: Turns out this is the only casino Twyla hasn't been banned from as an unaccompanied minor.
  • History with Celebrity: Moira once partied with Maggie Trudeau and The Rolling Stones and she had gambling adventures in Vietnam with Condelizza Rice and Sharon Stone.
  • Limerick: Roland's response to learning Johnny walked in on Stevie taking a topless selfie is to come up with a limerick.
  • Polyamory: David suggests that Patrick date the young man who hit on him at the store, since Patrick has never dated another guy before.
  • Road Trip Plot: The Jazzagals hit the road to visit a casino, despite the concert they planned to attend being cancelled.
  • The Stoner: Jocelyn makes magic brownies for the Jazzagals' road trip.
  • Tears of Joy: After getting over her embarrassment, Stevie is close to crying when Johnny reassures her that he's just happy she's found someone who makes her happy and the accident doesn't mean anything compared to that.
