2	----
3	!!Episode Tropes:
4	* ADayInTheLimelight: Despite being the season 4 premiere, this episode is focused heavily on Tom and the Dubois, while the Freemans' involvement in this episode is relatively minor.
5	* BerserkButton: Sarah's is when Tom [[ApologizesALot apologizes to her]].
6	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Tom gives Pretty Boy Flizzy quite the beatdown near the end of the episode. Even Sarah is surprised by this.
7	* CallBack: Pretty Boy Flizzy recalls how Tom was part of the R. Kelly case all the way back in Season 1.
8	* CharacterDevelopment: Tom undergoes [[TookALevelInBadass a lot]] during this episode.
9	* IntercourseWithYou: A lot of Flizzy's songs are sex-related. One example is "You make me want to uhh".
10	* JerkassBall: Sarah grasps this hard in this episode, being angry on how passive Tom is, and even getting drunk and insulting him in front of Jazmine.
11	* NeverMyFault: Pretty much Pretty Boy Flizzy's response to all the illegal shit he has done is "Man I was fucked up!".
12	* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Pretty Boy Flizzy is basically an {{Expy}} to Music/ChrisBrown. Christiana is also one of {{Music/Rihanna}}.
13	* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Tom, [[NiceGuy of all people]], gives one to Pretty Boy Flizzy after being pushed to the edge. He even does it ''without taking a single hit''.
14	* RageBreakingPoint: Near the end, Pretty Boy Flizzy expresses his desire to steal Tom's family from him. This leads to the former receiving a [[ExtremeMeleeRevenge well-deserved beatdown]] from the latter.
15	* RecycledScript: This episode has been considered by many to be a retake of "Tom, Sarah, and Usher", as it is centered around Tom and involves Sarah becoming infatuated with yet another famous musician, causing a rift between the two.
16	* ShoutOut: Despite being a parody of Chris Brown, Pretty Boy Flizzy's song "You Make Me Wanna Uhh" is one word off of {{Music/Usher}}'s song "You Make Me Wanna", which is, fittingly, about Usher feeling the urge to leave his current partner for another.
17	* VeryPunchableMan: Pretty Boy Flizzy. Considering that he beats women just to get more attention in the music industry, it's hard to feel sorry for him when he gets his ass kicked by Tom near the end of the episode and then gets placed under citizen's arrest by Uncle Ruckus.
