Casey is still upset over the bomb scare. He also finally makes peace with Dana, but is upset again when he finds out Gordon's asked Dana to marry him. Dan finds out Rebecca is going back to her ex-husband. Jeremy, who is obsessed with figuring out what exactly happened at a cricket match, tries again to temporarily break up with Natalie, but at the end, he says he's over it and wants to get back together with her.
This episode contains examples of:
- Almost Kiss/Moment Killer: An unusual version; when Jeremy decides he's over it and wants to get back together with Natalie, she tells him he should kiss her. Jeremy is about to do so when he remembers to tell her Rebecca is going back to her ex-husband. Instead of being upset with Jeremy, Natalie is immediately concerned about Dan.
- Call-Back: Casey is still upset about the bomb scare. Also, Dana admits to Casey she shouldn't have handed the show off to Sally.
- Also:
Natalie: Everybody, this is your nightly two-minute confirmation that I'm still Jeremy's girlfriend. - Continuity Nod: Isaac's still recovering from his stroke.
- Cricket Rules: If only Jeremy understood these, he could explain why what happened at the match in New Delhi was such a big deal.
- Foreshadowing: At the end, Natalie, Jeremy and Dan all admit they still think Casey has a chance with Dana, despite her being engaged. Casey says he'll need a plan, which comes into play the next episode.
- In-Universe Factoid Failure: About all Dana knows about cricket is "they drink tea" (same with Dan and Natalie).
- Out-of-Character Moment: Dana forgetting things (including the fact she's in charge of a rundown meeting).
- Take That!:Casey: No, I know I'm alone on this. I know the vast majority of people consider Jerry Falwell a spiritual pillar of great and gentle wisdom. I know that most people consider him a scholarly and tolerant man who would never judge others harshly just because they were different. I know that most people find his calm leadership to be a gentle soothing beacon in a time of great social chaos. His guidance, for instance, on the great purple Teletubby matter, was fraught with the kind of theological sophistication that only Jerry Falwell and a cafeteria full of sixth graders could devise. I know I'm going way out on a limb, but I think Jerry Falwell's a fat-ass.
