* AbsenteeActor: Much like Sasha's first speaking appearance in "Prison Break", neither Anne nor the Plantars appear other than the former appearing in the group photo Sasha has of herself, Anne, and Marcy.

* OverlyNervousFlopSweat: Braddock and Percy sweat bullets when trying to convince Yunnan they don't know Grime.
