* BrokenPedestal: Daft Trunk's true identities turn out to be xenophobic bullies that beat up Yumyulack. This was apparently the subject of their second album, ''Never Meet Your Heroes Because They Turn Out To Be Bullies.'' However, Yumyulack doesn't tell Jesse this so she won't be disappointed.

** When Korvo tricks Terry by chaining him to the bed, Terry accuses him of "[[Literature/GeraldsGame Gerald's Game-ing]]" him. When the hotel attendant passes out on him, Terry points out that it's just like the poster.

!!Tropes:
* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: Terry has become very cocky after becoming CEO, rubbing his power in Korvo's face.
* AlmostKiss: Terry and Korvo almost kiss after making up, but start sinking into honey first.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Pinecone seems helpful to Jesse and Yumyulack at first in their quest for the golden beet, but reveals himself to be a rotten peach and holds them at gunpoint because he hates Daft Trunk.
* BrokenPedestal: Daft Trunk's true identities turn out to be xenophobic bullies that beat up Yumyulack. This was apparently the subject of their second album, ''Never Meet Your Heroes Because They Turn Out To Be Bullies.'' However, Yumyulack doesn't tell Jesse this so she won't be disappointed.
* ChainedToABed: Korvo tricks Terry by pretending to use handcuffs in a sex game, then leaves him behind before the meeting with the comptroller. Apparently this happens at the hotel a lot.
* TheGamblingAddict: The Wooden City comptroller keeps making (and losing) bets with Korvo. It turns out that's why Terry wanted to take him to [[SuckECheeses Woodchuck E. Trees]] -- it's "a very winnable casino" and would put him in a good mood.
* IgnoranceIsBliss: Yumyulack lies to Jesse that Daft Trunk is cool even after they beat him up so she won't be disappointed.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: Korvo shocks the comptroller with his ability to get impossible holes-in-one in golf.
* KinkyCuffs: Invoked when Korvo proposes kinky hotel sex with Terry, only to leave him ChainedToABed so he can take over the presentation.
* SequelEpisode: To [[Recap/SolarOppositesS2E4TheEmergencyUrbanizer "The Emergency Urbanizer,"]] as the Solars return to the Wooden City they built in that episode.
* ShoutOut:
** An {{expy}} of Jim from ''Series/TheOfficeUS'' gives an AsideGlance during the cold open, and Korvo yells that they don't need to pay [[Creator/JohnKrasinski Krasinski]] any royalties.
** Daft Trunk is a parody of Music/DaftPunk.
** When Korvo tricks Terry by chaining him to the bed, Terry accuses him of "[[Literature/GeraldsGame Gerald's Game-ing]]" him. When the hotel attendant passes out on him, Terry points out that it's just like the poster.
** Yumyulack wants to break into the Daft Trunk party "''Film/OceansEight'' style."
* TemptingFate: The attendant who comes to rescue Terry has to rush up a bunch of stairs without taking his heart medication... then stops to eat a meaty sandwich. Terry calls he's gonna have a heart attack before it even happens.
-->'''Terry''': Not loving this pattern.
* WormInAnApple: The cashier in the Apple Store (as in a literal apple store) is a giant worm.
* YouAreGrounded: Part of being a normal family means Jesse and Yumyulack are now grounded for their violent behavior in the previous episode. However, they sneak out to the Wooden City to see a concert by hiding inside the Pupa.
