Ambiguously Gay: Patrick's sexuality becomes less ambiguous in this episode.
Big Damn Kiss: Ted and Alexis share a kiss in celebration of her passing grades. They then spend the episode struggling to deal with it.
Bunny-Ears Lawyer: David's plan to soft launch the store works almost too well, and their opening day is a big success.
Comically Missing the Point: David repeatedly fails to understand that Johnny wants his help carrying the giant portrait into their bedroom.
Family Portrait of Characterization: The Roses receive an oversized family portrait from when they were still very rich. Although the portrait makes them look like the ideal uppercrust Nuclear Family (and the size characterizes them as narcissistic and uppercrust), it also reminds them that they were more distant then (Alexis didn't even show up and they painted her face over a body double) and that they created a much happier and healthier dynamic after they lost all their money. The portrait is also absurdly oversized for their current home at the motel.
Moment Killer: The lights flicker, ending a long, intense hug between David and Patrick.
Running Gag: Patrick is annoyed that David took juice from the store without paying for it.
Spooky Painting: Moira paid extra to make it look like her eyes are following the viewer in the family portrait.
That Came Out Wrong: David and Patrick discover that nearly everyone in town is clamoring to attend Rose Apothecary's private, soft-launch and have a conversation that highlights their Unresolved Sexual Tension:
Patrick: Looks like this soft launch is firming up a bit, huh? David: But it's not supposed to be firm. Patrick: Well, with this many people, it's at least semi-firm. David: Okay, well as long as it doesn't get hard. And that's something, that's what I just said to you.
