While throwing a birthday party for Glen and Glenda, things take a turn that threaten to expose everything Tiffany's done. Meanwhile, Nica plots her escape with an unlikely ally.
Tropes in this episode:
- All Part of the Show: Upon seeing Glenda wheeling Nica out of the elevator, the Chucky fragment trying to murder Tiffany, and Tiffany's mental breakdown upon Nica's escape, Gina and Sutton just applaud, thinking it's all part of the murder mystery party that Tiffany set up.
- Armor-Piercing Question:
- Glenda gives one to Tiffany when they and Glen confront her about her strange and reclusive behavior.Glenda: Mom, who the hell is Nica Pierce?
- Before escaping with Nica and Kyle, Glenda tells Glen, who chose to stay behind, to ask this to their mother: "Who is Tiffany Valentine?"
- Glenda gives one to Tiffany when they and Glen confront her about her strange and reclusive behavior.
- Artificial Limbs: Glenda gives a pair of artificial arms to Chucky/Nica. The former uses them to try and shoot Tiffany, while the latter is able to use them to wheel herself out of the house.
- As Himself: Joe Pantoliano, Gina Gershon, Sutton Stracke and Jennifer Tilly's sister Meg all appear as fictionalized versions of themselves.
- Asshole Victim: Tiffany's butler for the night, "Jeeves", is a rude, perverted and homophobic loudmouth boor of a jerk. There's very few tears shed when he's the first to bite it.note
- Be Careful What You Wish For: While on the Buster Satterfield Show, Liv Morgan expressed desire for Chucky to brutally murder her. Chucky gives her what she wants.
- Bottle Episode: Like how the last episode took place entirely at Incarnate Lord, this episode takes place entirely at Jennifer Tilly's mansion.

- Call-Back:
- Glenda reveals to Tiffany that they have had a recurring nightmare of when they killed Joan.
- Chucky still (affectionately) refers to both Glen and Glenda as "Shitface".
- Glen is wearing the exact same outfit their doll body had and during the "Murder Mystery" interrogation, claims that "they wouldn't hurt a fly" when suspected of murdering Jeeves.
- Gina Gershon fingering Jennifer Tilly. Which is kind of a twofer.
- The lockpick earings Gina Gershon gave to Glenda, are also a callback to Bound, where Gina wore similar earrings.
- Glenda knocks out Glen using the same trophy their mother used to knock out Redman and Jennifer Tilly.
- Celebrity Casualty: Gina Gershon shoots Joe Pantoliano dead.
- Cool Aunt: Gina Gershon turns out to be this for the twins. Giving Glenda a pair of earrings that are secretly a lockpicking set and later gifting them a gun for their birthday just like they asked her to. Liv Morgan even calls her such.
- Disappeared Dad: To the twins, Tiffany painted Chucky as a deadbeat dad who walked out on their family so they wouldn't question his absence.
- Hate Sink: "Jeeves" is designated as someone to really hate in contrast to Chucky and Jennifer.
- Hero Antagonist: Glen and Glenda, to a lesser extent, both conspire against their Mother to save Nica and get her to safety and while Glenda is still more than willing to murder to get what they want, Glen simply wants to help Nica and find a way to help their mother with her issues.
- I Choose to Stay: Rather than escaping with Glenda and Nica, Glen chooses to stay at the mansion, hoping to help their mom.
- Innocently Insensitive: Glen, who is helping Nica escape, tries to pinky promise with her that they're getting her out, only to realize their mistake, and sheepishly apologizes.
- Locked Out of the Loop: Glen and Glenda have both mostly forgotten the events of Seed and their parents' true nature with only vague memories of it popping up in Glenda's dreams and both of them remembering someone calling them "Shitface". By the end of the episode it's implied that Chucky has mostly filled Glenda in on the information and they encourage Glen to confront their mother on her true identity as Tiffany Valentine.
- Lower-Class Lout: The butler "Jeeves" is really a lowly security guard and narrow-mindedly narcissistic back-alley Improv class student with a dash of a boorish blue collar loudmouth obnoxiousness and homophobia who enviously mocks Jennifer's rich guests as a Horrible Hollywood Upper-Class Twit posse.
- Murder the Hypotenuse: Gina murders Joe Pantoliano after discovering that he has been sleeping with Jennifer as well.
- Polyamory: Glen and Glenda are both dating the same guy. Tiffany simply notes that it sounds complicated.

Glenda: Mom's a lesbian? - Spanner in the Works: Glenda and Chucky's plan to kill Tiffany would have gone off perfectly if it hadn’t been for Gina taking the planned murder weapon for herself and unloading all the ammo on Joe before they could use it.
- Take That!: Apparently against Improv class in which "Jeeves" is a class participant and an ignorant narcissistic Lower-Class Lout when trying to go out of his way to put his so-called "improvising" into use much to the guests' chagrin, which appear to be an excuse to Troll others for the heck of it.
- Tampering with Food and Drink: It turns out that Glenda was the one who murdered Jeeves by poisoning the bottle of wine that he was saving for himself with strychnine.
