* RedundantRomanceAttempt: It's revealed in a flashback that Enid used to have a crush on Rad in middle school. He was a lot less macho and narcissistic than he is today. However, he gets [[ToxicFriendInfluence bad advice from his friends]] and acts like a jerk for most of their first date, therefore ruining whatever chance at romance they could have had. Even after realizing he blew it and would have had a better shot if he had been himself, his friends convince him to [[IgnoredAesop deny any responsibility and "double down."]] Now Enid is extremely cynical but has a rather odd, platonic friendship with Rad.
