Tropes that Appear in this Episode

  • Bad Liar: Ted is such a bad liar he can't even sexy role play with Alexis, and he ineffectually backs up her story to David.
  • Chekhov's Gunman: Antonio can be seen in an earlier episode browsing in Rose Apothecary, even though he denies having ever been in the store.
  • Confronting Your Imposter: David doesn't confront Antonio directly, but he does confront Wendy about the products being counterfeit.
  • Continuity Nod: A poster for "Open Mike Night" can be seen hanging in Rose Apothecary.
  • Failed a Spot Check: Wendy is clueless that her business partner is gay, that he's sleeping with her fiancé, and that he's ripping her off.
  • Felony Misdemeanor: Yes, running over someone's cat is very unfortunate, but that happens to outdoor cats, particularly in rural areas. The cat's owners, however, act like the Roses are uncaring monsters even though they stopped to check on the cat and then took the time to inform the owners. Said owners then demand the Roses pay for a funeral, but accept being gifted Johnny's and Moira's spa day instead.
  • Incompatible Orientation: Wendy's fiancé is clearly sleeping with her business partner, Antonio. He could be bi, but the implication is that they're just scamming Wendy.
  • Making Love in All the Wrong Places: Alexis and Ted decided to have sex in the newly renovated Rose Apothecary bathroom.
  • Road Trip Plot: Johnny and Moira's road trip to a spa goes wrong.
  • Running Gag: Antonio doesn't just steal items from Rose Apothecary, he steals the entire concept.
  • Sibling Rivalry: David is still resentful about the tamogochis Alexis neglected and killed.
