** Asher arrives fashionably late as the story describes it.
** Evelyn's descriptions of her friends and their reactions to it.
** The discussion about PortmanteauCoupleName.
* Generally, anytime Matt's down-to-earth attitude collides with his parents, whether it be the his father's gleefulness or his mother's fiery.
* The story, or rather [[DeadpanSnarker Matt]], has this to say when him and his dad go grocery shopping:
--> [[TakeThat Jeez, people could learn a thing or two about not buying too much so you're not delaying everyone else from getting back to their lives. At least this one clerk is actually efficient...]]
** Even funnier, this might seem like a case of HypocriticalHumor on Matt's part since his list is as long, but then you remember that it was his mom who made the list, so he's subtly poking fun at her as well!
** Not too long after, Matt suffers from AmusingInjuries when his dad accidentally gives him the heavier bag, almost as if it was a case of LaserGuidedKarma.
** Just before that, Samuel's attempt to connect with Asher and Matt is equally funny. Also his embarrassment when he forgot to introduce himself to the clerk, who happens to be Dianna, Mara's mother.
* Eliza is a Mikara shipper, no doubt. But at one point, she expresses herself a bit too bluntly...
-->'''Eliza:''' Ah I see, [[ShipperOnDeck I do agree. Michael and Mara are very compatible together]]. [[BrutalHonesty I definitely see them having children in the future]].
