Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': Characters are locked in a room where they'll die if they don't escape fast enough.
* '''Straight''': Mary and Spencer find themselves locked in the walk-in freezer of Mary's Eatery. They have to work together to find a way to get out before they freeze to death.
* '''Exaggerated''': There's liquid nitrogen flooding into the freezer, so Mary and Spencer only have a few minutes to escape.
* '''Downplayed''': Although Mary and Spencer won't die, they might get hypothermia if they stay there for too long.
* '''Justified''': TruthOrTelevision. Freezers can be dangerous, and staying in one for too long ''will'' cause hypothermia or frostbite if you stay too long.
* '''Inverted''': Mary and Spencer lock themselves inside the freezer for safety, since there's a dangerous HeatWave inside and they'd rather be cold than hot.
* '''Subverted''': After Mary and Spencer enter the freezer, the door slams shut behind them. However, Mary notices an escape latch that opens the door.
* '''Double Subverted''': The latch breaks off, meaning there's no other escape.
%%* '''Parodied''': ???
%%* '''Zig-Zagged''': ???
* '''Averted''': Nobody in the work gets stuck in a room with perilous circumstances if they stay too long.
* '''Enforced''': The producers needed a BottleEpisode, but didn't want to go with a traditional LockedInARoom scenario. So they had them get locked in a freezer for extra drama.
* '''Lampshaded''': "Oh, no! We're stuck in the freezer!"
* '''Invoked''': When Mary and Spencer are going into the freezer to grab some ingredients, [[{{Jerkass}} Logan]] shuts the door and props it closed.
* '''Exploited''': Logan traps Mary and Spencer in the freezer as a DeathTrap, so they'll be out of his way for good.
* '''Defied''': When Mary designed the freezer, she installed a latch on the inside that can open the door regardless of if it's locked, so people always have a way to get out.
* '''Discussed''': "It'd be pretty dangerous if someone walked into that freezer, and then there was no way to get out."
* '''Conversed''': "Why are TV characters always getting stuck in freezers?"
* '''Played for Laughs''': Spencer is incredibly annoying, and Mary [[WouldRatherSuffer actively tries to induce hypothermia and waste her energy]] so she doesn't have to deal with him.
