- Jonas: Alright, close your eyes and empty your mind. I want you, I want you to feel the tension.(Daniel gives him a suspicious look)Jonas: In your neck.Daniel: Oh, okay.
- Info Dump: Most of "A Solid Lead" is Bree talking about how the Hymn of One and the Order are structured and what each role does within the organization.
- Jump Cut: A rather noticeable one in the middle of a sentence in Daniel's rant in "Intervention", presumably cutting out Bree's name:
- Daniel: I'm sorry that I'm not this good-looking guy that can have (cut) second she sees him and forget about her best friend...
- Labcoat of Science and Medicine: Jonas comments in "Science Proved Nothing" that he should get a lab coat right after rattling off the steps of the scientific method.

- During his workout in "Quitting The Sauce", he says that it's "just like The Karate Kid."
- Sidetracked by the Analogy: Bree gets sidetracked by her own analogy near the end of "New Girl":
- Bree: (asking the fans to help out) I don't have a million pairs of ears, or eyes, and... I wonder... wonder if you could clone somebody with a million pairs of ears, and eyes, and then that would be really cool because then they could— (takes a deep breath) Okay. Stay focused.
- Soccer-Hating Americans: Bree in "A Solid Lead" apparently suspects that Texans fall into this pretty heavily:
- Bree: Taylor lives in Texas. I didn't know they played soccer in Texas.

- Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: In "Quitting The Sauce", Jonas and Daniel try to see if they recover their memories of what happened in Vegas by using hypnosis... but it doesn't work. Lampshaded by Jonas, who, after doing some research, decides that "the whole field of memory retention is kind of bogus."
- This Is Unforgivable!: Jonas describes Alex lying to his face for the second time and endangering his friends as this in "About The Gun". It even gets him to stop referring to her as his aunt.
