* AfraidOfBlood: Mary Ruth faints while trying to clean up a cut on Mimo's head.
* AllTheGoodMenAreGay:
-->'''Mary Ruth:''' Well, you know what they say: All the good ones are either married or seeing someone or...\\
''[Claude looks pointedly at her]''\\
'''Mary Ruth:''' I think it's just those two things they say.
* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: Kim is apparently Chinese, like actress Creator/LaurenTom in RealLife, despite "Kim" being a Korean name. Of course, it's a Korean ''surname'', so maybe it's just a nickname for Kimberly in this case.
* CampGay: Can't have a hair salon without out, right? This one is named Claude.

* ImagineTheAudienceNaked:
-->'''Mary Ruth:''' My acting teacher always says when you get really nervous, just imagine all the people you're auditioning for naked.\\
'''Fran:''' Well, picture her ''[C.C.]'' because I've seen him, and trust me, that's not gonna calm you down.
* Later:
-->'''Fran:''' When I introduce you to Mr. Anthony, picture him naked.\\
'''Mary Ruth:''' But I'm not nervous.\\
'''Fran:''' So what?
* MissingMom: Like the Sheffield children, Mimo has one.
* MrFanservice: Mr. Anthony
* ThePollyanna: Mary Ruth's defining trait.
-->'''Mary Ruth:''' So now I have no place to live, no job, nowhere to go, and no means of support. But I can't complain.\\
'''Fran:''' You're not Jewish, are you?
* PoorlyDisguisedPilot: Obviously, this was a failed backdoor pilot for a series about the Chatterbox. The regular ''Nanny'' characters actually disappear entirely for much of the episode, for more than five straight minutes at the longest stretch. This is out of a twenty-three minute show.
* WaitingForABreak: After failing to get a part in Maxwell's latest play, Mary Ruth takes a job at the Chatterbox for the time being.
-->'''Mary Ruth:''' Before we start, I think it's only fair to warn you that I am, first and foremost, an actress. And at any moment, I may get a lead on Broadway, or Creator/MervGriffin could call and want a game show hostess, and it could all happen so quickly. In show business, they needed you yesterday!\\
'''Mr. Anthony:''' Do you sweep?\\
'''Mary Ruth:''' Yes.\\
'''Mr. Anthony:''' You're hired.\\
'''Mary Ruth:''' Bless you, Mr. Anthony!
* YouNoTakeCandle: Kim talks this way
