* WetTShirtContest: One happens, with the MTV DJ saying to choose between warm water or cold water. Hank then explains that's not a good idea, but then quickly gets the gist of it.

** TheStinger has Hank (who heard what happened) drinking in the alley with the guys. [[KickTheSonOfABitch He throws a couple of beer cans at Bill's bandaged-up arm,]] with Bill promising Hank it won't happen again.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Downplayed with the two guys Hank befriends at the bar. While they're not really malicious, Hank just thinks they're two down-to-earth guys who like to talk sports, but are unaware they're here for Spring Break, and for fun throw a water balloon at him.

* StalkerWithACrush: Bill, taken UpToEleven. He goes out of his way to make moves on Peggy, going as far as entering her house (without her knowledge) with a spare house key the Hills lent him.... when they were on vacation ''six years ago''. He even acts as if Bobby is his son.
