** Glenn takes cracks about his weight seriously. When Reagan messages him and says they need help, she instructs him to use the AirVentPassageway for a Die Hard impression. Glenn tries to make it and nearly does... but he gets stuck in one of the smaller vents. Also, when Glenn has to swim across the ocean to save the Ridleys, he quickly loses energy due to being out of shape.
** After the two spend time on a boat together being held hostage, Tamiko and Rand consider getting back together. He proposes to her again, and she seems interested. Before they can kiss, Reagan gives a BigNo, tosses Rand overboard, and says they'll do the narcissistic self-wedding. Reagan knows they're a bad couple together, and the fallout will fall on her.
** Rand radicalized a bunch of white, frustrated male shut-ins by lying to them, then tried to manipulate them into doing his bidding. Naturally, it blows up in his face when they figure him out, and they don't immediately abandon their delusions just because he tells them he made it all up. Instead, they double down, and Rand and a boat-full of people end up in mortal peril as a result. The way it all plays out calls to mind what tends to happen in real life when people try to use extremists for their own agendas: they give the extremists more power under the assumption that they can be controlled, only to lose control of the situation while the extremists take power, and in the end those extremists become a far worse threat than if they'd just been left well enough alone.

* SeaSinkhole: Reagan brings the Flat Earth conspiracist Harold to a door in the middle of the Pacific Ocean to convince him that he has reached the edge of the world, even though, in truth, the gate actually leads into the Hollow Earth. When the gate is activated, its opening creates a massive watery sinkhole that drags a bunch of hapless whales in and nearly does the same to Reagan.
