* ChekhovsGun: Tim mentions doing lobster bisque as part of his seafood menu for Dolphin Day. Colin later reveals that the cause of the blocked toilets and malfunctioning taps (which led to Rosemary having to go to the pool to clean herself off and unintentionally putting herself at risk of being eaten by a shark) came from a lobster which had escaped the canteen and gotten lodged down the drains.

** When Helen praises the silky skin and eyes of Ingrid the Dolphin, Penny admits that she's lost track and asks if she's talking about the barman or the aerobics instructor. One must only wonder how Helen's affairs/attraction to both of them came about.



* NotSoAboveItAll: For all of Penny's usual anatagonistic attitude towards Brittas and her status as the OnlySaneEmployee, she's shown to be just as supportive for Brittas' idea of getting the customers to swim with dolphins as the majority of the staff.



* OnlyOneFindsItFun: Carole is the only person actually interested in the food Tim left in reception, with even Ben refusing the canapes on offer despite his apparent interest in them generally.

* FuzzTherapy: The reason Ingrid the dolphin was in the Norwegian Leisure Centre pool was as part of their occupational program. Brittas mentions how Helen, who had been on a heavy course of antibiotics at the time, didn't need the medicine after swimming with her, and how he saw a sad-looking disabled child spring out of the pool after a few laps around the pool with said dolphin.



* HostageSituation: Linda locks Tim in a cage and refuses to let him out until Brittas lets the dolphin go free.



* TheLawFirmOfPunPunAndWordplay: Brittas ends up sued by a solicitor's firm called Huntley, Huntley, and Huntley.



* ManMadeHouseFlood: The toilets are clogged, so Colin tries to clean them using a bubbling combination of cleaning materials. This insteads causes a stream of water to come up. By the time Brittas comes into the toilets to check why they haven't been fixed yet, the entire bathroom is flooded.



** The last time that Helen was on antibiotics, she became convinced that Penny was part of the first movement of Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto.
** Ben once dangled his Montessori Teacher out of a second-floor window. Exactly how a young child like Ben managed to get an adult teacher in that position is never explained.

Added DiffLines:

* RedLiveLobster: Downplayed, as the lobster which is responsible for the blockage in the toilets is only distinctly red around the pincers and tail, but it nonetheless has a shade of red in spite of the fact that it is clearly still alive and not cooked.


Added DiffLines:

* SnootyHauteCuisine: Tim becomes obsessed with cooking food of the finest qualities, with his menu for Dolphin Day including shark steaks, lobster bisque, and filet de requin a la Bordelaise. Unfortunately, no one has been coming to his renovated menu in the canteen due to the resultant jump in prices.

* BeastInTheBuilding:
** Brittas is inspired from swimming with dolphins to do a "Dolphin Day" in the centre and put a dolphin in the pool. Unfortunately, a combination of Tim's desires for gourmet food and Julie's poor secretary skills lead to a shark being put there instead.
** Tim leaves several chickens in reception, annoying Carole as she is trying to put her children to sleep. Linda later frees the chickens, with one of them getting eaten by the shark in the pool.



* TheGhost: Mention is made of a Mrs. Normaton running the canteen, but she doesn't appear in the flesh as she is on holiday, leaving Tim to take over.
* ImpossiblyDeliciousFood: PlayedWith in that she does have some criticism of the taster food left in reception by Tim, but it doesn't stop Carole from constantly eating them and even offering them up to other people.
