- Failed Attempt at Drama: When Rollo's limo drives off after threatening GOB, the window doesn't pull up as desired, so he has to pull it with his hands.
- Flashback-Montage Realization: downplayed: Gob meets with Michael to discus his latest issue with the Magicians' Alliance. He ends the meeting by shaking his hand with both hands, saying "I appreciate your time." Later, Michael goes to check the time on his watch and ends up looking at his bare wrist. He then flashes back to the handshake and realizes that that's when Gob stole his watch.
- It's What I Do: This episode's aesop. Michael as well as his son realize they cannot change who they are.

- Oblivious Guilt Slinging: Big moment towards the end. Both GOB and George Michael tell Michael what a great person he is while Michael was about to screw his brother over.
