* BittersweetEnding: Indira's story ends in disaster for ''everyone'' involved. Thanks to [=Bojack=] seeing Indira as a "lunch buddy" and not as a friend, he quits as her client, and Indira for legal reasons has to terminate her relationship with Diane when the latter says she doesn't feel safe in Dr. indira's office. Mary-Beth, in contrast, proves that Princess Carolyn has an alibi about the string cheese, causing Todd to have a JerkassRealization about how he's freeloading off her couch and acting entitled. He not only gives her the office but also says he'll pay rent to her since he has a paying job now.
* CloudCuckooLander: Mary-Beth has shades of this, given that while Indira is just doing minor name changes, Mary-Beth changes all of her characters to surreal and confusing things. Mary-Beth even manages to do this to Indira's story; Diane was simply changed to Diana, but Mary-Beth insists she is explicitly imagining the character to be Diana, Princess of Wales.
* CouchGag: To hide his identity, Indira changes [=BoJack=]'s name to "Bobo the Angsty Zebra" as she tells the story about him. The opening credits are swapped to reflect this, with [=BoJack=] becoming a zebra and the title of the show changed. Even the poster for "Horsin' Around" was replaced with a poster for "Bobo's" hit-show in the 90's, "Stripin' Around".

* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: Indira patiently tells Diane that she has a choice to make: either set boundaries with [=BoJack=] or confront him about the tape. If [=BoJack=] knows that Diane knows about Penny, at least they can talk about it and work through it, plus she can find out the full context. It's still ''bad'' but not left as an elephant in the room. In the climax, Indira all but orders Diane to talk about the tape when she finds [=BoJack=] taking a lunch hour in the latter's office. Instead, Diane says she doesn't feel safe in this, and Indira's expression changes as she has to terminate her relationship with Diane for this reason. She's visibly frustrated and guilty about it when relating the story to Mary-Beth.

* {{Angrish}}: When [=BoJack=] gives a NotSoDifferentRemark to Diane, she is so livid that she rushes into Flip's writing room to write an episode script based on the vague details she heard about on the tape recorder.

* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: When Diane talks to [=BoJack=] about getting help, he tells her that she is "not responsible for the dysfunction of others." This rings a bell in Diane's head, remembering that was a phrase that Dr. Indira told her, and believes that [=BoJack=] is seeing her behind her back as a client. Sure enough, she barges in while he's with Dr. Indira, and finds out she's completely right, much to her fury.
