Tropes

- Dude, She's Like in a Coma: Subverted. Although Stephanie is impregnated in a coma, it's part of a medical experiment and done artificially and not through sexual intercourse.
- I Love the Dead: Wesley has thing for dead bodies and even pays a hooker to simulate a corpse. He was fired from a funeral home after he was caught on camera; the cameras had been set up because they thought he was stealing.

- Speed Sex: Benson implies this happened when Wesley slept with Mrs. Thurgeson.
