** When Hank is staying at Boris's apartment in season 1, a Budai statue can be spotted on the balcony. Season 7 Boris questions whether Hank thought a series of events that lead to [[spoiler: Hank needing to become a doctor for a secret operation on a Tibetan Lama]] was purely coincidental. Hank believes so, and asks if Boris didn't also think so. Amused by Boris's answer of how he wouldn't want to presume such things, Hank inquires if Boris was a Buddhist, whose response was "Lapsed Buddhist, perhaps".

* TrappedByMountainLions: As Evan and Paige are not doctors but are regular cast members, the show frequently sends them off on B-plots that have nothing to do with the plot of the week or the larger seasonal arc, like Paige's search for her birth mother, or Evan's campaign to join the town council, or their efforts to become parents.

Cutting Hilarious in Hindsight, as the example has very little to do with Royal Pains


* HilariousInHindsight: General Collins tells Eddie that there will be no peace in the Middle East until Israel and Palestine work out their differences. In 2020 the Trump Administration was able to have several historical peace agreements in the Middle East by cutting out Palestine all together and working with Israel with other Middle Eastern Countries.

* FridgeBrilliance: When Hank is treating the young woman at Boris's party in the pilot and inquires if Boris's bodyguards have Mark 1 kits, Boris responds "Enough to save everyone in this house". It's hard to imagine why Boris would ever need that many as he's never seen such huge parties again, but it makes sense later learning of the feuding in Boris's family and that Mark 1 kits are used to treat certain nerve gas agents.

** In the episode where Jill begs Divya to come with her to a reunion with some old friends, it may be confusing why Jill says "the first rounds on me" even though Divya says she's on-call and can't drink until one remembers doctors make rounds in hospitals.

** In the season one finale, Evan finds mold in an attic. Moving, black mold. It is made marginally less creepy when it turns out to be bats.

* WTHCostumingDepartment: Season 7 opens with Paige and Evan having a bit of a PregnancyScare, as while they're married they're hardly ready to be parents. Towards the end of the episode, she shows up to tell him she's not pregnant after all; she got her period and was just late (even though she claims she's never late). The thing is, she's wearing '''white pants'''. Absolutely ''no'' woman on the first day of her period would be wearing white pants: if she was wearing them before she suddenly started, she'd change because they're now bloody; if she wasn't, there's no way she'd look in her closet for a new pair and go, "Hmm, I think I'll choose the one article of clothing most likely to advertise if my sanitary napkin springs a leak!"
