** However, this is quickly subverted only a few episodes later, when he comes into her bedroom at night and asks her about her experiences with Sean while he [[ADateWithRosiePalms masturbates in front of her]]. He later sleeps with her the ''night before her wedding to Sean'', effectively confirming the subversion.

* CoitusEnsues: Eddie and Sarah alone could provide enough examples. Granted that they are married, but even so, the number of times they're shown having sex can seem a little excessive. Simply put, if they're in a room together alone then odds are good that they're going to end up ''at least'' making out before the scene is over. Cal and Mary have this as well, with Hugh Dancy and Creator/EmmaGreenwell portraying it as a near-unwilling compulsion. Add in the numerous other characters who are also shown hooking up and the show seems to be going out of its way to fall into this trope.
** There's a Meyer exercise called connecting, where the idea is to be open to one another's energy and communicate with complete trust. It's practiced by couples who assume a [[http://www.livetantra.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/yabyum-copenhagen-4.jpg Yab Yum]] embrace. We see Eddie and Sarah do this; later, Mary and Sean. It's likely that this exercise is ''supposed'' to end in love making.

** Cal says that Steve referred to most people as "sleepwalkers" and "pawns", urging Meyerists to become "awake". Spiritual writer [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Gurdjieff G.I. Gurdjieff]] didn't invent this philosophy, but gave it a lot of promotion and visibility. It has been used ([[http://yogapredators.com/bhagwan-shree-rajneesh-osho/ and misused]]) by [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rajneesh Baghwan Shri Rajneesh (Osho)]] among others. It's [[http://montalk.net/metaphys/117 common to a lot of esoteric teachings]] and popular today from ''Franchise/TheMatrix''.

* FakeGuestStar: Taken [[UpToEleven to extremes]]. The entire [[RecurringCharacter recurring cast]] are credited as guest stars even though they are, ''technically'', main cast members. They should be in the Starring part of the credits, but in this case, it was ignored, probably for RuleOfFunny or {{Irony}}. Perhaps it's also because many of these "guest stars" are old-style stage actors, not film or screen specialists (explaining the moderately LargeHam some of them engage in throughout).

** TruthInTelevision as [[http://www.kirasalak.com/Ayahuasca.html ayahuasca healing]] is [[https://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/15/fashion/ayahuasca-a-strong-cup-of-tea.html?_r=0 very well known]] and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayahuasca some westerners really have teamed up with traditional shamans]] to learn its use and administer it properly. The Peruvian spiritual retreat Ayahuasca Healings has recently been granted church status in the United States.
