  • The Bus Came Back: Dana, a recurring character from Season 1, returns in this episode.
  • Can't Get Away with Nuthin': When Scott questions her about helping students, Lauren harps about how she was previously faulted for being too hard on students.
  • Comically Missing the Point: When Louisa refers to herself as a mulatto, Harvey asks, "You're a cookie?"
  • Tears of Joy: Harvey breaks down into tears after meeting his grandson and great-grandchildren, realizing he has extended family.
  • Volleying Insults: Scott tells off Lauren for her "pissy, self-righteous prima donna attitude." Lauren claps back at him with "Hell's waiting for you, Scott. Don't forget to pass 'Go.'"
