* AbuseIsOkayWhenItsFemaleOnMale: A non-romantic, non-comedic example. Eva tied up Ezekiel in a lawn chair because of a sexist comment he ''didn't even make'', beat him up when he tried to stand up for Izzy, and tossed him, ''still tied up'', in a swimming pool. If Izzy, Geoff, and Bridgette hadn't saved him, Zeke would've ''drowned.'' Aside from a couple mentions of the rescue, no one makes any real note of it.

For Izzy, it's the fear that once she tells Zeke about what her family's really like and how they view her, he'll feel the same way and reject her. Both are reassured by their respective boyfriends that this will never be the case.
