Louise convinces her parents to cash in on the lucrative Valentine's Day dinner business, even though it means putting Bob and Linda's own Valentine's Day plans on hold; Tina attends Tammy's Anti-Valentine's Day party.
Trope-mancing the Beef:
- The Alcoholic: Linda has many, many bottles of emergency wine.
- Alone Among the Couples:
- Teddy goes to Bob's Valentine dinner alone, but insists that he's actually going out with himself.
- Hugo spends a long time waiting for his date at Bob's. Just when he thinks he's been stood up, however, she arrives after going to the wrong place.
- Dance of Romance: Bob and Linda share a dance in the end credits (and, if one looks in the background, so do Tina and Jimmy Jr.). Gene is singing to Bob and Linda as Louise puts flowers in her parents' outfits (she also adds one to Bob's hand), then reaches out her hand as if expecting payment.
- Evil Is Petty: Hugo is going to shut Bob's Burgers down just because his date stood him up.
- I'll Take Two Beers Too: Linda is serving a couple and notices the woman is angry.Linda: So, what about a drink? Couple of large wines?
Woman: Sure.
Linda: [to man] And for you? - Morton's Fork: Louise and Gene invoke it to make money by having the latter dress as Cupid and play music to the couples in Bob's Burgers. If the couples like it, they pay Gene money. If they don't like it, Gene will leave... after being paid money to do so. Either way, Gene sings and the kids make bank.
- Potty Emergency: Gene has to use the employee bathroom right now, spoiling the Belchers' ruse that Hugo's date is in there.
- Shout-Out:
- The Pop-Culture Pun Episode Title is one to Romancing the Stone.
- The Store Next Door is Owed to Joy Personal Loans and the Exterminator Van is for Slay Anything....
- Signs of Disrepair: Done on purpose when Bob covers his restaurant's sign so that it reads Urge for the night.
- Stood Up: It at first appears Hugo's date stood him up. Turns out she just went to the wrong Urge (a sex toy shop and porn theater).
- Valentine's Day Episode: The A-plot deals with Bob's Burgers cashing in on last-minute Valentine's Day date night reservations, and the B-plot sees Tina attending an Anti-Valentine's Day party.
- Valentine's Day Vitriol: Tammy has an anti-Valentine's Day party for all the students who don't have a date. Tina goes to the party after Jimmy Jr. went out of town, wanting to take a break from romance, but finds that the party was just an excuse for kids hooking up.Tammy: Hearts are farts, and Cupid is stupid!
- Your Approval Fills Me with Shame: Jimmy Pesto shows up to brag about all the customers he has when he notices all the people eating at Bob's. He thanks Bob for doing a good job for once, which Bob takes as a dig on him.
