!!Tropes:

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Frasier is ranting about how all psychics are con artists.
--> '''Frasier''': It's very easy for people to get hooked on this hocus-pocus, and it...well, before you know it, this woman will be holding your hand once a week, charging you $100 an hour, and filling your mind with all sorts of confusing jargon.\\
'''Carla''': And how is that different from you?\\
''{{Beat}}''\\
'''Frasier''': Well, I can prescribe drugs.
* BrutalHonesty: Lilith says that after "an appropriate period of bereavement" following Frasier's hypothetical death, she'd start dating again. Frasier is hugely irritated by this.
* ContinuityNod: Darryl Mead, the Red Sox player who stopped at the bar sixteen episodes ago in "[[Recap/CheersS8E7 Death Takes a Holiday on Ice]]", comes back to Cheers and again expresses interest in going out with Carla.
* {{Hallucinations}}: Carla, riven with guilt over going out on a date after Eddie's death, starts hallucinating goalies in Bruins costumes everywhere.
* ItIsDehumanizing: Frasier, pissed off after Lilith says she'd date other men after his death, says to Woody, "Would you check on the robot over there, see if it's thirsty?"
* MathematiciansAnswer: A customer at the bar asks Woody where Sam is.
-->'''Darryl''': Is Sam around?\\
'''Woody''': No, he's not feeling well. He won't be in today.\\
'''Darryl''': What's wrong?\\
'''Woody''': I miss him.
* PhonyPsychic: Carla invites Madame Lazora, her psychic, to conduct a seance to make contact with the spirit of Eddie [=LeBec=]. Frasier is annoyed by what an obvious fake Madame Lazora is, but Madame Lazora taunts Frasier with how she made $250 for fifteen minutes of work.
* {{Polyamory}}: Well, what other way for Sam to get through chicken pox than to hang out in a bed full of hot women?
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Ted Danson actually contracted chicken pox, at the age of 43, which is why Sam is not in this episode. After Danson was better, they filmed a scene for the cold open showing Sam with chicken pox, in bed with a half-dozen babes.
* ShipTease: Frasier's attraction for Rebecca was an occasional RunningGag. In this episode Rebecca is filing a consumer complaint about some ladies' automatic razor that sliced up her legs.
--> '''Frasier''': All these people care about is the grievous bodily damage that this product has inflicted on your...sensitive...firm...milky white flesh.
* ShoutOut: Woody's community theater troupe is putting on ''Theatre/TwelveAngryMen''. They only have six men, so they have to be twice as angry.
