* Joe and Phil bickering over what to call George-in-Frank's-body, since Joe dislikes the use of "Evil Frank". Joe comes up with Frankengeorge, then Phil corrects him that it should be Georgenfrank, and they argue over how neither of those are real names.
** Also gets a BrickJoke later from Belinda, when she refers to him as Georgenfrank:
-->'''George''': Who?!\\
'''Belinda''': You, idiot!
* Phil freaks out when George--still securely tied to a chair and gagged--tries to wiggle out of Callie's closet, promptly shoving him back in and shouting "Get back in there, you evil genius!" And then gives a slight, celebratory "Yeah!" after.
* In a BlackComedy kind of way, it's both funny and ''very'' [[CatharsisFactor satisfying]] to see the friends sarcastically mocking George right before they subject him to Project Midnight to get Frank back while he tries to talk them out of it.
-->'''Biff''': Oh no, maybe we should just give up now.\\
'''George''': Yes! Yes, you should.\\
'''Belinda''': ''(scoffs)'' No, he's right. I mean, it's so stupid. Why would we even try to save our friend?\\
'''Phil''': Yeah, I mean, it's just Frank, right? Like?\\
'''Chet''': Yeah, who cares about the guy? No, it's a good thing you're here to talk some sense into us.\\

--->'''Joe''': Just wish I could see the look on his face when he realizes that he ran off with a fake.

* During the hospital heist, Joe--who was earlier thrown out of the hospital and banned from returning, and is serving as MissionControl out in the parking lot--ends up LockedOutOfTheLoop, thanks to poor signals on the walkie-talkies, when the heist goes awry and Dennis disappears. Once Burelli and the Shadow Man have already left and the danger is past, Lucy finds Dennis, on his feet and walking again, watching TV in someone's room, and Biff and Phil express their relief over the walkies. The heartwarming moment of Lucy happily hugging him is juxtaposed with Joe chiming in to add, "Wait, you guys ''lost Dennis''?!"

'''Joe''': Yeah! I'm just trying to lighten the mood by being hilarious.



* Joe demonstrates his plan to Frank to get proof that Bridgeport cops are corrupt: by engineering a CaughtOnTape EngineeredConfession. He brags that he just recorded everything Frank said, and tries to play the tape back to prove it to him...only to get nothing but static. Frank's reaction sells it.

* Pretty much everything with Joe pretending to attend a Sea Cadets meeting with Phil as an excuse to sneak out of the house and meet up with Biff for some snooping. Highlights include:
** The outfits. Biff is not impressed when she sees Joe wearing it, and refuses to go anywhere with him until he changes clothes.
** Phil spends the whole car ride gushing to Joe about Sea Cadet stuff, who shows minimal interest, and even points out that he doesn't really need to know these things because he's not ''actually'' going to the meeting. Despite Phil presumably knowing this all along, he's still disappointed.
** When they return, Joe tells Aunt Trudy about all the cool things he "learned at the meeting." It works, but his efforts at lying leave something to be desired.

'''JB''': Ha, cute. Turns out there's two of these things.\\

* JB's conversation with Gloria after he is forced to return to her empty-handed now that Stacy and her mooks stole the Khan piece of the Eye from him, with his face all bruised up from the beating he took and an attitude of just being so done with everyone's shit. Gloria, meanwhile, is tired of ''his'' shit:
-->'''Gloria''': [You lost the piece] to whom?!\\
'''JB''': You make me an offer and I will tell you.\\
'''Gloria''': Y'know, you're as bad a negotiator as you are a thief.\\
'''JB''': Ouch. I'm not gonna hold that against you [[SarcasmMode because we're such good friends]].\\
'''Gloria''': Stefan, get in here, please!
** Also, his obvious incredulity when Gloria gives him a new job of stealing her own piece of the Eye from her own grandsons. But he still agrees anyway, with an obvious air of "Oh, fuck it, whatever, I've come this far, just please let me get my money and get the hell outta dodge."
** Also JB's and Stefan's snippiness towards each other, which is actually kind of tame considering that they've now each beaten each other up before when the latter broke into the former's motel room.
* In the penultimate episode, Aunt Trudy comes to check on Joe, who in the previous episode fell down into a mine and could have died. He assures her he's still okay...like he was when she checked five minutes ago. She tells him she's going to take a shower, but assures him that he can call if he needs her, all while Joe is trying to be polite and humor her despite his obvious exasperation. And after she leaves:
-->'''Joe''': ''(rolling his eyes)'', Geez, [[OnceDoneNeverForgotten you fall down ONE mineshaft]]...
** Trudy indeed comes to check on Joe after said shower, but he's downstairs greeting the newly-returned Fenton. Instead, she finds JB there, who just greets her with a cheerful, casual "Hi there!" while Trudy understandably starts screaming her head off.
* Frank and Callie share their BigDamnKiss...while Joe is sitting right there in the chair watching them. It goes without saying that, as soon as Callie leaves, the first thing Joe does is tease his brother for it.

* Frank and Joe discuss the former having the Eye inside him, and Joe asks for confirmation that it's not possessing him, and his brother is still himself. Frank jokingly shines his flashlight on his own face and says in a faux-spooky voice, "For now!", prompting both of them to chuckle.
