* TheCameo: Trixie and Spud appear in TheStinger, having been swallowed by the Shark Lady. Fu comments he wondered they had been all episode.



* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Lao-Shi and Jonathan get into one as a result of Jonathan's BilingualBackfire. The fight is only heard, but the next scene featuring them shows them both slightly bandaged.



* OhCrap: During the drive to the family reunion, Lao-Shi gets into an argument with Jonathan, and rants at him in Chinese. Jonathan decides that "two can play at that game", since he took Norwegian in high school, and proceeds to talk trash about his father-in-law’s mother in the language. That’s when Lao-Shi reveals that ''he took high school Norwegian as well''. The look on Jonathan’s face says it all.

* EverybodyHasStandards: Inverted. It's one person (Jonathan) who has better standards of a family reunion than everybody else (Susan's entire family) put together.
* HateSink: Practically all the members of Susan's family, but especially Greggy. While the episode does contain the typical outside threat of the shark gang, the gang itself is at least composed of unique and intimidating characters. Susan's family, meanwhile, is composed of nothing but archetypical {{Upper Class Twit}}s who spoil their immediate children and treat everyone outside their bubble as lower-class citizens.

* RageBreakingPoint: Played for laughs. After putting up with her less-than-civil cousins for the entire episode, Haley finally snaps after Andrew puts a crab down her shirt.
