!This episode provides examples of the following tropes:
* BestialityIsDepraved: The twist ending reveal's that Cricket's love interest Belle is actually his father's golden retriever, and that he'd been hallucinating her as an attractive woman because he was high on [=PCP=].
* CallBack:
** Cricket's [[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS04E01MacAndDennisManhunters parkour skills]] are demonstrated once again.
** The gang [[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS06E04MacsBigBreak pay Cricket in lemons]] for services rendered.
* ChekhovsSkill: Cricket's considerable skill at parkour, which he demonstrates at the beginning of the episode, comes in handy later on when he needs to make it from his father's office down to the parking lot in order to catch the investor before he makes it to his car.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Cricket is very much the main focus of the episode, with the gang only appearing in a few scenes and remaining on the periphery of the action.
* ForegoneConclusion: Given that [[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS12E08TheGangTendsBar the previous episode]], which chronologically occurs after this one, has Cricket smoking [=PCP=] in Paddy's bathroom, his attempts to get clean and reconnect with his family seem doomed from the start.
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: Belle, who doesn't seem at all put off by Cricket's appearance and encourages him to lighten up. As it turns out, [[JustifiedTrope there's a very good reason for this:]] she's actually a dog.
* MushroomSamba: It's revealed towards the end that Cricket had actually been high and hallucinating Belle as an attractive human woman for much of the episode.
* OhCrap: Cricket has a moment of this at the beginning right before he falls into a dumpster filled with manure... and then again when he realizes he's been making out with a dog.
* OnceMoreWithClarity: Scenes from [[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS12E07PTSDee "PTSDee"]] and [[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS12E08TheGangTendsBar "The Gang Tends Bar"]] are shown again, this time from Cricket's perspective.
