* Chiarello's: While Gordon works his usual magic in terms of saving the restaurant, the effect he has on owner Tommy - suffering from massive depression and prone to hiding away in his office (actually a secret gym with holes in the wall) - is incredible, as he brings back his confidence to the point he is happily bantering with his customers. Normally it'd be a pointless boast, but Tommy's boast of '''"''I'm'' the boss!"''' at the end of the episode is incredibly heartwarming.

** For as hellish as the rest of the episode is, his first meeting with Amy and her husband is rather sweet. He praises the cake she serves him and tells her that her kitchen is ''very'' neat and clean, while she tells him how it was her dream to own a restaurant, a dream which her husband worked hard to make happen.
