* Gordon comes up with a plan to go to COMDEX and sell the Giant. Step one: Steal the Giant. Step two: Recruit Cameron, and then Joe, and go to Dallas. When he talks to Cameron, though, she's already too scared of going to jail (for helping Bosworth hack a bank) to go along. Gordon says he'll just have to go to COMDEX and explain the operating system himself. She scoffs at this, but he says, "Well, let me make sure I got it. Okay, 'It's better than MS-DOS because it does things like ask you how your day's going, and corrects you if you make a command wrong.' Oh, wait, I know what I'll say. 'It's like having your mother inside your computer.' How's that?" Cue a look of pure disgust from Cameron, and a GilliganCut to the two of them outside Joe's place.

* Lev flirts with another user on Community; however, it turns out to be a guy. This is subverted as Lev is fully aware of this. The humor comes from the others coming to the realization that he is gay and their awkward acceptance of it. [[HilariousInHindsight Made even funnier]] by a RealLife Supreme Court ruling a couple of days before the episode aired that legalized gay marriage across the U.S. On the other hand, it turns into a FunnyAneurysmMoment a few episodes later when the guy turns out to be a group of homophobes who beat him up.

* Cameron is pissed off at Gordon and Donna so she breaks into their house to vandalize it with spray paint. She is interrupted by their neighbor who shows up with a shotgun to fend off the burglar (this is Texas after all). The neighbor, Brian, is the engineer that Gordon previously fired and he recognizes Cameron. He assumes that Cameron is there because Gordon fired her as well so he puts away his shotgun and tells her to go nuts with the spray can. She becomes sufficiently weirded out to decide not to go through with her vandalism, which leads to a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming as Donna praises her work on the new BIOS.
