* NeverMyFault: As seen above, Felix doesn't ''want'' to kill Bob, but because Bob was there when he enacted his plan to kill Calvin he needs to LeaveNoWitnesses. He acts like this is an unfortunate consequence of the plan, like it was inevitable from the start--except Felix could have avoided creating a witness by waiting for Bob to leave (something ''he was just about to do'') before pulling his gun on Calvin. Bob being there to witness the plan is entirely Felix's own fault.

[[MyGodWhatHaveIDone It's eventually deconstructed when the internal guilt actually, steadily gets to Felix]], leading him to own up (to a point) to his crimes and attempt to save both Bob and Calvin. Too bad his girlfriend Fanny doesn't have a similar attack of conscience.

* BullyingADragon: Even as Felix is waving a gun around, Calvin outright mocks him and calls him too cowardly to carry on with his murder plot. Bob asks and then ''begs'' him to stop mocking the man who has them dead to rights.

Bob asks and then ''begs'' him to stop mocking the man who has them dead to rights. He continues doing it once Fanny hijacks the murder plot, mocking her intelligence even though she has even less qualms about murdering him than Felix did.

*FunWithHomophones: When Louise asks if anyone has something of Bob's they can use to track him, Gene says he has Bob's jeans. Louise exasperatedly remarks that ''all'' the kids have his genes, after which Gene clarifies what he meant.

Episodes set after this one confirm Gene is still allergic to shellfish, so there's no explanation as to why he'd be fine here but not later.


* BuyThemOff: When Bob considers going to the police to get Felix arrested, Calvin stops him by offering thousands of dollars to keep quiet. While the two aren't seen finalizing a deal, the fact that Felix walks free in later episodes without so much as a mention of his actions suggests Calvin did give Bob ''something''.

* SeriesContinuityError: Gene is shown eating shrimp with no ill effects despite episodes both before and after this one confirming he's allergic to shellfish. A possible explanation is that some people manage to rectify their allergies with medications or even lose them as they grow older.
