* AdaptationalSympathy: Bennett puts on a showing of {{Theatre/Othello}} where Iago never intends to hurt Othello and doesn't realize he's envious. Needless to say this is nowhere close to how he's portrayed in the Shakespearean tragedy.

* EngineeredHeroics: "A Stan-ing Guard" has both parties mistakenly believe they were broken into while Stan was blogging. Scared that a security system will expose Stan's secret, Avery and Tyler stage a fake break-in to make Stan look like a good guard dog. Beth and Bennett seem to buy the whole thing, afterwards though they go in separately and say the same thing: they did not buy it for one second, but they'll to pretend they did since both parties benefit if the other believes it (Bennett wanted Beth to stop with her self-defense classes and Beth didn't want the security system).
