Added DiffLines:

* BigDamnHeroes: Brian and Danielle - Brian for finally detaching the headboard from the bed so Rayanne is no longer handcuffed to the bed, and Danielle for getting the key off of the dresser (once Patty comes home) so Rayanne can finally unlock the cuffs from her wrist.


Added DiffLines:

* TheTag: While Patty is stuck handcuffed to the bed, Graham finds a nature show and she's stuck watching it.


Added DiffLines:

* WeNeedADistraction: When Danielle sees Patty has the key to the handcuffs on the dresser, she calls out to Angela, and when Patty asks Danielle what she wants, Danielle says she really missed her mother and hugs her, so she can slip the key to Angela unnoticed. Angela also hugs Patty so Patty won't notice she's slipped the key to Rickie, who unlocks the cuffs from Rayanne's wrist.

'''Rayanne''': [''hands it over''] Party pooper.
* BrickJoke: When Brian first tries to figure out how to get the handcuffs off Rayanne, he says wire shears would do it, and while his parents don't have any, he's sure the Chases do, until Danielle informs him they don't. At the end, when Graham puts the cuffs on Patty and they realize they no longer have the key, Graham also thinks wire shears would work, and thinks Brian's dad would have some.



* GoToYourRoom: A rare adult version - when Patty gets drunk and disruptive (see OOCIsSeriousBusiness below), Warren (Creator/JackNance), the inn manager, reaches his RageBreakingPoint and yells, "I'm sorry, but I have to ask you all to [[SuddenlyShouting GO TO YOUR ROOMS]]!

* FreudianSlip: A rare instance of it being PlayedForDrama, when Patty tries to apologize to Graham for getting drunk, but also lets some rage out:
-->'''Patty''': Look, can I just say...oh, God, how do I put this...I acted totally like an idiot. I made a fool of myself. But, you still shouldn't have left me alone all day while you were on your liquor hunt.\\
'''Graham''': Honey, I had no idea it would take so long. Anyway, it didn't seem to matter to them (Cheryl and Neil).\\
'''Patty''': What about what matters to me? I mean, there I am, I'm waiting, and I'm waiting, and I'm worrying, and I'm feeling like the minutes are ticking by, and then you tell me you that you're late because you had to [[SuddenlyShouting LOOK UNDER HER (Hallie's) HOOD]]!\\
'''Graham''': Wait a minutes, what are we talking about here? [''Patty looks ashamed'']
* GoToYourRoom: A rare adult version - when Patty gets drunk and disruptive (see OOCIsSeriousBusiness below), Warren (Creator/JackNance), the inn manager, reaches his RageBreakingPoint and yells, "I'm sorry, but I have to ask you all to [[SuddenlyShouting GO TO YOUR ROOMS]]!ROOMS]]!"


Added DiffLines:

* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Danielle claims she's about this when Rayanne wants her to do her a favor (Rayanne: "Girl after my very own heart"), but it turns out she isn't - see EveryoneHasStandards below.

* HangoverSensitivity: After Patty gets drunk (see OOCIsSeriousBusiness below), she can't stand sunlight and is wearing sunglasses until she gets home.



* InnocentInnuendo: Played with in the fact the viewers know it's not innuendo - Brian and Rayanne are talking about the fact the key he bought for the handcuffs won't open them because it's too big - but Kyle and his friend don't know that:

Added DiffLines:

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Patty is so upset about being left at the inn all alone (along with what he did for Hallie - see FreudianSlip above), she not only gets drunk, but starts insulting Warren, whom she had bonded with earlier.

'''Brian''': [''as he enters the bedroom''] Oh, my God.



* OrSoIHeard: When Brian suggests they find out where the handcuffs are sold so they can find the key for them, Sharon mentions a place called the Pleasure Center. When Rayanne giggles at Sharon knowing about the Pleasure Center, Sharon retorts, "I've passed by it, jeez."

!Weekend
->Directed By: Todd Holland
->Written By: Adam Dooley

Graham and Patty go away for the weekend to a resort with Neil, but while his on-again, off-again girlfriend Marla was supposed to come with them, it turns out they broke up, so Neil is now with Cheryl Fleck (Creator/LauraInnes), who comes off as an airhead (at first). Not only that, but Graham was late getting home right before they were supposed to leave because he was helping Hallie with her car, which makes Patty upset. Finally, Graham, Cheryl and Neil go out to try and find alcohol, leaving Patty staying in the hotel all day with nothing to do, so when they finally return and act as if everything's fine, Patty decides to get drunk on the alcohol they did find, and causes such a scene they all have to leave the next day.
