1!The Past
2Digby rejoins Ned at BoardingSchool, seemingly aware that he cannot touch his beloved master. Still, the companionship cheers Ned immensely.

4!The Present
5Two fliers crash-land near the Pie Hole almost simultaneously: a carrier pigeon flies into the Pie Hole's window, and a small plane flies into the apartment building opposite. The carrier pigeon is accidentally revived by Ned, but the apartment's occupant needs no such help; and, in fact, instantly finds himself in Ned's bad books by hitting on Chuck.

8* AloneWithThePsycho: Chuck is unaware that the "Conrad" she's brought to the Pie Hole is a fraud. Later in the episode Lem shows up at Elsita's windmill with and axe and ties her. Both times it's downplayed as neither Chuck nor Elsita are afraid of him, in fact Elsita spends the whole scene critiquing his knot-tying skills and getting annoyed when he doesn't listen to her.
9* AnArmAndALeg: "Lefty" Lem lost his right arm after getting it stuck in a paper shredder. Elsita is missing her right leg due to [[TheUnreveal unknown circumstances]].
10* FallingIntoHisArms: Played with. It isn't Ned's arms Chuck falls into--in fact, he must deliberately let her fall--a source of angst to him for the rest of the episode. Chuck recognizes why he didn't catch her and tells "Conrad" that it's a sweet gesture with "the proper context".
11* IdenticalGrandson: Elsita Von Roenn and her grandmother Elsa, both played by Creator/JaymaMays.
12* InstantMessengerPigeon: Downplayed due to Pidge's injured wing.
