Added DiffLines:

* CentralTheme: PTSD. Charlie and Dennis refuse to admit their sexually abusive childhoods gave them any issues; Mac still has Daddy Problems, and Dee doesn't want to talk about why her mind went to incest as punishment. As is their usual method, they drown out any epiphany with alcohol.


Added DiffLines:

** When Dennis is clearly terrified about the clients being [[TraumaButton older women]], Charlie brings up the reason why but doesn't push, and tells him they can just leave. They can't in the end, but it's sweet all the same.


Added DiffLines:

* ObviouslyNotFine: Dennis continues to claim that he and Klinsky were consensual and the Gang should stop trying to tell him otherwise, but is traumatised by the "cougars", {{freudian slip}}ping the word "librarian" instead while trying not to cry.

* ShoutOut: Dennis laments that Cricket's emcee role is more Matthew [=McConaughey=] in ''Film/DallasBuyersClub'' than Matthew [=McConaughey=] in ''Film/MagicMike''. The stripper that Dee dates is also called Mike, seemingly in a further allusion to the film.

* BaitAndSwitch: Dee's boyfriend, Mike, comes in at the beginning of the episode to thank her for last night... because it was the most ''un''satisfied he's ever felt, and it's inspired him to seek more meaning in his life.
-->'''Mike:''' It's like, we were having sex, and the whole time, I was like, "What's become of me?"

Added DiffLines:

* AllThereInTheScript: The script is a lot more explicit than even the aired episode over how much PTSD Dennis has from Ms Klinsky; relating to Charlie's Uncle Jack trauma, not feeling safe around older women and ranting that stripping for them felt like a violation, Charlie pointing out he's doing to girls what Klinsky did to him (although Dennis insists he's not because at least his girls are of age), and him telling Charlie "it's better if you just do what they say".
