This episode contains tropes of:

  • Characterization Click Moment: This episode marks the sides of Brian being shown less of the Only Sane Man he had in the early seasons and shows a more egotistical
  • It Began with a Twist of Fate: The whole reason Brian started his writing career is because he went downstairs to watch TV and stumbled on the interview.
  • Innocuously Important Episode: While it seems like a normal episode, this episode marks Brian's dive into his failing writing career.
  • Mistaken for Cheating: The main plot centers on Lois thinking he's cheating on her overseas due to him being suspicious and spending more time overseas. The real reason was that Peter was rearranging his boat to host a wedding for Randall Fargus and his new wife Eliza.
  • Playing Pictionary: The Griffin family - minus Peter, who was out on his boat - play this game during family game night. For Chris' turn, he draws an abstract art piece that for some reason is Spooner Street.
  • Ridiculous Procrastinator: Brian full-stop. To the point by The Tag, he hasn't even wrote a single word down.
  • Wedding Smashers: Lois, Bonnie and Loretta driving the former's car into the sea and chew Peter out in front of what they assume is the woman Peter's cheating with, Until it's revealed to be Randall and Eliza Fargus' wedding and instantly regrets it.
