* SpecialGuest: Creator/SarahMichelleGellar voices Marie.

* RealMenHateAffection: Or in Hank's case, publicly. During and argument with Peggy and Bobby over showing affection in public, Peggy makes an implication about having sex, to which a mortified Hank tells her to stop. Hank is even reluctant to show [=PDAs=] in stores and has to be goaded by Peggy into doing so.

* PlatonicKissing: Marie gives Bobby one, though unfortunately he takes it as them being in a relationship.

** First at a hardware store by an old man when they just simply hold hands. Both take their hands back in embarrassment afterwards.

* VomitDiscretionShot: At the end of the episode, Bobby throws up that 72 ounce steak he ate in front of Connie and she was relieved to learn it wasn't from Marie's "break-up".
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Subverted. At the end of the episode, after coming back from the steakhouse, Hank finds that the couch is gone and the guys lament over its loss. Then in TheStinger, Bill talks to Dale on the phone about it, only to reveal Bill actually took it for himself and is actually sitting on it as he states it disappearing is all for the best.

* OneMansTrashIsAnothersTreasure: Hank and the guys use a couch they found in the alley and use it to sit on. The said couch used to belong to Kahn, who threw it away because a cat peed on it. Not that it phased them any.

* JerkassHasAPoint: After the "break up", rather than comforting Bobby, Peggy rubs it in how a 20-year marriage doesn't compare to an infatuation that lasts a few days. Obviously, this is not what a pre-teen boy needs to hear while crying his eyes out, but Peggy is right and Bobby concedes to this. However, when Bobby accuses Peggy and Hank earlier of being jealous of his relationship because their love (supposedly) isn't as strong as that of him and Marie's, Bobby points out that he's never even seen them kiss, asserting that they were afraid to show their love. Even Peggy is forced to admit he has a point. Basically Peggy is putting her own ego over her son's heartbreak.
