The minivan is stolen from a mechanic's lot and Sam must re-audition for her old part when her show Ching of the Mill is rebooted.


  • Actor Allusion: Sam's old show Ching of the Mill is a reference to Adlon's previous show King of the Hill, where she voiced Bobby Hill.
  • Cool Pet: Sam gets a large snake from the pet store after she and Max are unable to return the chinchilla the girls bought.
  • Eek, a Mouse!!: Sam's initial fear of the chinchilla is not helped when Duke explains it's essentially a big furry mouse.
  • Potty Emergency: Sam has one in Lennie's car while they're stuck in traffic on a rainy day while driving to the gym. Fortunately Lennie has a bag of her baby's diapers in the back seat, which Sam uses. Sam says that because of emergencies like this, everyone should have diapers in their car even if they're not parents.
  • Skinny Dipping: Sam's neighbor Brad tells her that Phil has been doing this in his pool.
  • Title Drop: Uttered by Sam at the gym when giving a fellow patron a rundown on Lennie's home situation.
