* AchievementsInIgnorance: While the group would have saved time if [[spoiler:they'd found Jeremy in the first hospital]], their trip to the second hospital [[spoiler:allows the penis to get a temporary fresh blood supply while it's attached to Reginald, with the result that it's still in a usable condition when Sheryl cuts it off again]].

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: A somewhat weird example of this; after [[spoiler:Reginald gives permission for the group to give Jeremy his original penis instead, the doctor who performed the operation gives them his access card to retrieve the penis from cold storage, albeit arguing that he doesn't want to get sued for malpractice for making the original mistake]].
* RuleOfSymbolism: Jeremy becomes fixated on the idea that a dying flower in his room represents the current condition of his penis, which the nurse points out doesn't make any sense.
