History Recap / BobsBurgersS8E8VForValentinedetta

-->'''Tina:''' Yes like a lot.

** A downplayed case; the fact that [[OneOfTheBoys Louise]] is willing to go with Linda's [[GirlsNightOutEpisode girls' night]] idea without so much as a complaint shows that she recognizes how much Tina needs to be cheered up.

* KickTheDog:

* HaveYouTriedRebooting: Gene suggests unplugging and replugging Tina to stop her moaning.

* HeroicBSOD: As a result of Jimmy Jr.'s actions, Tina becomes so depressed that she, a noted horse-lover, doesn't react to Nat and Louise repeatedly talking about a dead horse.

** The store next door in the opening is [[Film/LoveActually Gloves Actually]].

** Nat proposes [[Film/TheGodfather putting a dead horse in Jimmy Jr.'s bed]], but dismisses it because [[GenreSavvy he'd be expecting that]] and instead decides to put it in his backpack.
* StalkerWithoutACrush: Tina knows where Becky Krespe lives with ''perfect'' recollection and can even describe the scenery. Louise lampshades it.

* GenderSeparatedEnsembleEpisode: One of the few episodes to evenly divide the Belchers by gender.

* JerkassBall: Jimmy Jr. ''really'' holds onto it throughout the episode. Choosing someone besides Tina as his Valentine is one thing. Being a complete jerk about it to Tina and then ''dumping Becky mid-date to try and reunite with Tina'' is another.

Despondent on Valentine's Day, Louise and Linda try cheering up Tina, while Gene and Bob take their spot at a Valentine's trapeze class.

* BirdsOfAFeather: Nat the limo driver is basically a grown Louise. Louise is quite happy with that.

* DramaQueen: Tina has shades of this, although she certainly feels traumatized by Jimmy Jr.'s betrayal.

* HelpImStuck: Nat tries to crawl through the little window in the limo, but finds it's a bit of a tight squeeze and needs the help of the Belcher girls.

* MamaBear: Linda is legit ready to make Jimmy Jr. suffer when she finds out what he did to Tina. She gets even angrier when he dumps Becky and makes her cry.

* NiceGirl: Becky, who didn't do anything to hurt Tina on purpose which is why Tina realizes she shouldn't ruin her date.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Linda figures out Tina is legit upset over what Jimmy Jr. did when she's so miserable she doesn't even freak out when Nat and Louise discuss scaring him with a dead horse and mention [[AllGirlsLikePonies dead horses 5 times in the course of a single sentence.]]

* BerserkButton: Mentioning Valentine's Day sets off Tina.

* IThinkYouBrokeHer: After what happened with Jimmy Jr., Tina does nothing but moan. Gene and Louise mention several times that she's broken, with Louise saying that "her puberty operating system crashed."

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Linda figures out Tina is legit upset over what Jimmy Jr. did when she's so miserable she doesn't even freak out when Nat and Louise discuss scaring him with a dead horse.

* KickTheDog: Tina wasn't upset just because Jimmy Jr. asked someone else to be his Valentine. It turned out she gave him a handmade picture frame with a photo of the two of them inside, which he then replaced with a photo of him and Becky. He then does this to Becky when he decides to callously dump her in the middle of their date and tries to get back together with Tina.

Despondent on Valentines Day, Louise and Linda try cheering up Tina. While Gene and Bob take their spot at a Valentines trapeze class.

* BerserkButton: Mentioning Valentines Day sets off Tina.

* TheMakeover: Linda takes Tina and Louise for makeovers. Louise's is a shark's mouth painted on her face.

** At the restaurant where Jimmy Jr. is having his date, Nat says they're going to Film/{{Goodfellas}} their way through the back door.

-->'''Louise''': I knew I'd find my real mom one day.
