Becca and her husband Barry's marriage begins to be on the rocks.
Tropes:
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Kitty is called out for being this. She claims to care about Becca, but she's ultimately just doing this for her own gain.
- Chekhov's Gag: A Running Gag is that Barry looks like Becca's dad from the side, which Becca dislikes. However, Cat Stevens shows Emmy a flashback where Becca's dad didn't show up for her wedding to Barry, so Barry walks her down the isle since he looks like her dad. This memory endears Emmy to Barry and convinces her to fight for the marriage.
- Family Versus Career: After giving birth, Becca worries that her new baby will detract from her career. When she finally goes back to work, she's worried she went back too early and that she's missing out on her son's life. She's also angry when Barry takes the baby to visit her at work because she doesn't want her coworkers to see her as a human being.
- Pop-Culture Pun Episode Title: The title is referencing Love in the Time of Cholera.
