* A combination of FridgeBrilliance, FridgeHorror and Fridge Sadness, but among the deeper things that "After the Fire" reveals about Randall's subconscious, one of them is that he still has some deep-seated issues with his identity as a Black man. One of the main things that furthers the wedge between him and his family is his choice to attend Howard – where he became ''much'' more engaged with Black culture. But this reality also ends with Randall becoming a womanizer who sleeps with his TAs, has no emotional attachment to family (including William) and has a tense-if-best relationship with his siblings. It prompts a question – since this is supposed to be Randall's "worst fear," does he believe there's a link between Blackness and an unsavoury lifestyle? Randall is clearly very proud of being Black, but doesn't often forget that he was raised by white people (and, as Beth points out, he constantly reminds everyone around him as well). Could there be a part of Randall's subconscious that has internalized anti-Black stereotypes?

* Randall and Beth are decidedly affluent from their respective high-earning careers, so much so that they're both able to go nearly a combined year without both of them working while still maintaining a very pricey suburban house. Selling that house and "downsizing" to a still-very-large home in Philadelphia allows them some flexibility in their new careers, with Beth as a dance teacher and Randall as a city councillor (big city councillors tend to make good money, but not partner-at-an-investment-firm good money). Except that Beth... owns a business, and pays big city rent on that business, and yet the family never struggles or mentions stress regarding money in Season 4. We see a ''lot'' of the Pearson's house during weeknights and weekends and Beth seems to be always home. So... who's running Beth's business and helping keep the lights on?
