"Health Fund"

Mateo gets an ear infection, and Jonah gets the idea to pool money together every month for an employee health fund. Glenn worries that a mole on his penis might be cancerous.


Tropes:

  • Beat Without a "But": Amy tries and fails to make Jonah's health fund idea sound plausible, despite everybody's doubts (including her own).
    Amy: I know that this idea seems really not well thought out and that it's totally naive... [beat] That's all I wanted to say.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: Sandra, who is normally quite meek and soft-spoken, screams and curses at Jonah and Amy when they cancel the health fund.
  • Comically Inept Healing: Tate puts superglue on an open wound.
    Tate: Bodies are weird.
  • Metaphorgotten: Amy uses a bungled plant metaphor when convincing Jonah to let her take credit for the health fund.
    Amy: Just because the seed doesn't become the plant...doesn't mean you don't give the seed credit when everyone starts freaking out about the plant.
    Jonah: I don't know what plant everyone would be "freaking out" about...oh of course, the ghost orchid.
  • Shout-Out: The tiers include "Fluttershy", "Targaryen", and "Gryffindor".
