''It's a Ginger Christmas, Cooper''. The Cooper'' is a whimsical short episode where the Salesman sings his own "Twelve Days of Christmas" song to Cooper. It's notably in the only episode that is completely self-contained.self-contained, with the plot not advancing in any way.
** ''Lil' Mitt's Come Home'' is a lightheared episode in the vain of the earlier installments of the show. It is sandwiched between "Circle" (a surprisingly somber episode where we discover Cooper's birth mother as well TheReveal of the Salesman being full-on evil) and "The Trial of Cooper" (the official GrandFinale of the series).

*** If anything, Cooper may have become the Sir Trinkett to Vanessa's Madame Trinkett. As he appears to be missing in the DistantPrologue for [[AmbiguousSituation some unexplainable reason]] and it's heavily implied that this was the cause for Vanessa's SanitySlippage.

* HistoryRepeatsItself: Several scenes throughout the GrandFinale show that certain events are happening again.
** In the DistantPrologue, we see a now fully grown Vanessa working (and implied to be living) at a HellHotel. Her [[SanitySlippage sanity has clearly depleted from spending so much time alone]] and longingly stares at a photograph of Cooper, as if he's gone or even ''dead'' -- just like Madame Trinkett, who exhibits the same exact behavior as her. [[HereWeGoAgain It is possible that she's slowly growing up to be just like her]].
** The Salesman reveals that his biggest fear is being alone, just like Cooper's mom, who deals with the possibility of DyingAlone.
** When all the parrots scram out of the basement, it mirrors the scene from "The Roots of Coincidence", where all the parrots drag the Salesman into the basement.
** Defied with Cooper. Who at first is built up to be the successor to the Salesman, sharing similar things such as having a terrible childhood and being trapped in an orphanage. Cooper even sports [[RedEyesTakeWarning the Salesman's iconic glowing red eyes]] when reaching his RageBreakingPoint. However, Cooper learns that FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse, gently calls out the Salesman for his actions even [[StartOfDarkness if he had bad life when growing up]] and decides to be the better man.
