** At first, it seems the strike will fall apart with little progress made, because Princess Carolyn and Lenny Turtletaub coax them back into work by promoting them. Then Princess Carolyn has a HeelRealization, backs out of the exploitative deal with Stuart, and passes Stuart a number to call. That turns out to belong to ''[[TheBusCameBack Judah]]'' (framed in the most angelic light possible!) to stand up for his fellow assistants. His organization finally gets the strike to end with actual compromises made, which continue in the next episode The Face of Depression.

* While Diane inserting the tape's dialogue into the script was both tasteless and tactless, one has to admire her storming into Flip's office after his latest nervous breakdown was holding up filming for days. She practically walks over his prone body, sits at the typewriter, and finally delivers some pages that the actors can film. Her fingers are flying over the typewriter. Flip gives a GladIThoughtOfIt BackhandedCompliment that "we're doing this" but you can see his eyes following her dialogue and he's impressed.
* In a moment of character development, Todd apologizes to Princess Carolyn for his bad attitude and having a feud over string cheese. He says he'll start paying rent since he owes her that much at least, and he'll give her the office she desires.



* It turns out Diane's writing is what saved Philbert. At the premiere, it gets a standing ovation. While Diane feels guilty about this, and questions if she made things worse by making "Philbert" more relatable and not showing him as a deconstruction of toxic masculinity, it shows how talented she is.



* Mr. Peanutbutter stepping up and being the first to restrain a psychotic [=BoJack=] to stop him from strangling Gina. After trying and failing to change himself in an earlier episode to prove that he can be a "tough guy", he shows real toughness and courage by being his usual kind self and restraining [=BoJack=].
