* ShoutOut: Jane's subconscious has Kay appear as an adult woman surrounded by her alternate personalities appearing as muppets in a SubvertedKidsShow setting, which happens to be called Underground Avenue, almost certainly a nod to ''Theatre/AvenueQ''.

!!This episode contains examples of:
* DisproportionateRetribution: Played for drama. In Vic's memory, he recalls a time when he was a young child and made a mess in a toy store while looking for an action figure that looked like him. The store manager, in a brazing display of racism, tries to have him ''arrested'' for the "damages" (note, all he did was create some minor clutter that would take a minute to clean up). He also shows NoSympathy to the child's simple request to find a black superhero toy, even sneering that "nobody ''wants'' a black superhero", and his dad, in an attempt to protect Vic, has to scold him since the manager is clearly not going to be reasonable, and the store security is already gearing to back him up.
