** It should be noted, however, that these changes are possibly a result of UnreliableNarrator, as the gang are the ones telling the story.

* SameClothesDifferentYear: The end of the episode shows a fade to the present from the day the guys bought the bar 22 years earlier in 1998. While Dennis and Mac had different outfits and hairstyles, Charlie in the flashback had the same exact outfit ([[HairstyleInertia and hairstyle]]) he is wearing in the present day.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Although critics panned this episode for being somewhat thin on this, the episode asks us to believe that a botched roller-skating routine is what led her to transform from "Sweet Dee" to the more vitriolic character today. It's less clear whether Dennis's transformation from eager beaver into sociopath was due to his dad's firing.

* GallowsHumor: The nightmare fuel of Dennis witnessing his dad having sex. The fact that the trauama is underplayed is the gallows humor.

* EveryonesBabySister: In a comical flip of her present-day status as their designated ButtMonkey, back in the 90s the gang were apparently quite affectionate to "Sweet Dee", openly protective of her and being uncharacteristically kind to her. Notably Dennis, Mac, and Charlie are still VitriolicBestBuds to one-another at this point (albeit not as openly hateful as they'd later become), but are nothing but kind to Dee and apologise when they make a crass joke at her expense.

Even moreso, Dennis claims that the "guys were making fun of him" for not knowing anything about "how its done", leading Frank to think Dennis was a virgin who didn't know how to have sex.

** Again, barring season 1, it was indicated previously that the Gang had always been casually cruel to Dee, with references to them spending their high school years joining in with the school in picking on her. This episode indicates [[EveryonesBabySister they had previously treated her kindly]], but after a head injury destroyed her sweet personality, they began antagonising her. This also works in reverse, as the aforementioned EarlyInstalmentWeirdness showed Dee to be the TokenGoodTeammate of the gang in the early seasons, but here it implies her present-day horrible attitude is something she's had since this aforementioned head injury.

* StartOfDarkness: Dennis and Dee have very innocent personalities in 1998. It's implied that Dee got her abrasive personality as a result of a head injury, while Dennis became more cynical after watching his father have sex with a prostitute.[[note]] However, as stated under {{Retcon}}, this is contradicted by many previous episodes (such as "The High School Reunion") showing the gang to be awful people, even as teenagers.
