Cargo Ship: Meredith Stepien's best friend in this show is the stuffed chimpanzee she carries with her. Played up to make her The Woobie for "The Coolest Girl in the World".
Ho Yay: So much, especially Joe being about to kiss Joey.
Smurfette Breakout: Meredith Stepien staying behind after the show ostensibly ends to sing "The Coolest Girl in the World" directly references this. Possibly Foreshadowing eventually producing a female-centered musical starring her and Lauren Lopez.
