* UnspokenPlanGuarantee: Almost completely subverted. When Rebecca goes on about how much parents love her, savvy viewers had to be expecting something to go disastrously wrong. In the end, things worked ''exactly'' like Rebecca planned. Josh's family went crazy over Rebecca, Valencia was enraged and jealous, and she and Josh got into a big fight over it. The only flaw was that the [[SlapSlapKiss fight ended with make-up sex]], which resulted in Josh asking Valencia to move in with him.

!!Tropes in the episode:
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Valencia's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech is centered around this, that no matter how much Rebecca endears herself to Josh's family, he won't like a girl like Rebecca who is all nice and squeaky-clean.
* AsianAndNerdy: The supposed reason Josh's family doesn't like Valencia? "Asians don't like dumb people."
-->'''Josh''': ''So mildly racist''!
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Rebecca takes it up a level here, brown-nosing to a ridiculous degree for darker motives than she lets on. Valencia calls her on it, but no one listens.
* CrappyHolidays: Valencia hates Thanksgiving because because she has to spend it with Josh's family, whom she does not get along with.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Josh asking Valencia to move in is framed like a marriage proposal, complete with Valencia's response being "I Do."
* LittleNo: Both Rebecca and Josh's mother utter a low no when Josh proposes moving in with Valencia.
* ObnoxiousInLaws:
** To Valencia, Josh's mother is a pain in the butt and they do not get along. Even worse, she likes Rebecca.
** Paula hates her extended family. She makes no attempt to hide this fact, telling one of them that everyone hates him.
* PottyEmergency: Eating a lot of exotic cuisine leads to Rebecca desperately needing to use the toilet. The combination of that and Josh moving in with Valencia causes her to flee Thanksgiving very abruptly.
* TakeThisJobAndShoveIt: Josh is eagerly anticipating quitting in a giant storm of yelling and pent-up anger. Unfortunately, his boss is both very polite, expected him to go eventually, and has SeenItAll to the point that it undermines Josh's entire spiel.
