* ExcrementStatement: Rebecca and Valencia get back at Josh for breaking their hearts by peeing on his sound equipment.



* IgnoredEpiphany: Getting another taste of Rebecca's antics makes Josh decide that being single for a while will probably be good for him. And then the next moment a woman comes on to him, and after that he can't get her out of his mind.

* TheUnfairSex: Rebecca and Valencia chews out Josh for his past bad behaviour, completely glossing over that neither of them (especially Rebecca) is exactly blameless either. This actually ends up helping Josh ([[IgnoredEpiphany temporarily, at least]]), who's been stressing out over being single but now feels that maybe [[CelibateHero taking a break from women]] won't be so bad.

---->'''Valencia''': Preach.
---->'''Rebecca''': I, you know? They don't apply. The job applies for them. This is why I'm growing out my pubic hair. 'Cause it makes me feel like a fierce animal.
---->'''Valencia''': Wait, let me see.
