*FreezeFrameBonus: Even before it's revealed that she stole the crystal, Tammy can briefly be seen passing by the Belchers' lunch table, with Gene conveniently blocking where the crystal would be.

*OutOfCharacterMoment: Both plotlines.
**Bob is willing to use nearly-expired produce to avoid a net loss, when previous episodes established that he's always prioritized top-quality food even if it was a detriment to his wallet.
**Tina suddenly has stage fright again, even though the series has gone to great lengths to show her having overcome this and performing confidently.
