*AsideGlance: Greg has MANY.
*TheChessmaster: When Greg asks Barbara for help persuading a mother to drop her son off at school's start, Barbara invites him to talk about it with her at lunch at her nail salon. He comes, but has to get his nails done to stay, creating more business for her favorite establishment. It's also the salon the mother comes to, but not immediately after Barbara and Greg get there, which means she has enough time to mentor Greg about how to talk to her.
*ColdOpen: We find out the teachers start the day out watching Action News and having a laugh at whatever happens, all while giving different excuses for why. Barbara has a crush on the newscaster, Jacob loves the animal videos but says he's supporting local journalism, and Johnson admits it's 'cause it's when he can say whatever he wants and no one cares.
*DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: Averted. Ava is being inappropriate with Greg, her subordinate. While he doesn't feel comfortable enough to call her out, he is clearly taking solace from the film crew being present to document it, and will probably tell her off at some point.

*EstablishingCharacterMoment: We meet Tariq, Janine's boyfriend. He's introduced rapping lamely in the car with Janine, taking her car for the day, having sold out a venue (of 15 people), joking that he doesn't get up until "noon o'clock", and having to be reprimanded about being late with rent and not looking at the budget change they need to do. [[OverlyLongGag Later in the episode, he texts Janine that she needs to gas the car up.]]
