* ContinuityNod: That line from one of Hollyhock's fathers about her being rail-thin?

* ContrivedCoincidence: A waiter comes to Princess Carolyn pitching a TV Show. As Princess Carolyn is in the middle of pointing out that the odds of getting someone to take interest in a random script someone presents to them are a million to one, she notices the name of the script is ''Philbert'', the same as her unborn child and she becomes passionate about the project on that fact alone.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Back in episode 8, Holly is seen with her coffee cup, randomly switching TV channels, having put all the loose change in the house in alphabetical order by year, and having no appetite for ice cream or pizza.

* FreakOut: [=BoJack=] suffers a panic attack under the thought of getting Hollyhock hooked to the point of hospitalization.

* PapaWolf: Hollyhock's fathers are understandably [[{{Understatement}} very upset]] about their daughter becoming hooked on amphetamines and passing out, and they believe [=BoJack=] to be the cause of this, forbidding him from visiting her in the hospital, and eventually taking her back home.

* RedHerring: Everyone (including [=BoJack=] himself and the audience) thought that [[InnocentlyInsensitive his not so gentle comments about Holly's weight]], lead her to assume amphetamines and then pass out from overdose.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Traditionally, hospitals prevent or limit random people from visiting patients, unless they are family or emergency contacts.

* HalloweenEpisode: Invoked. Apparently, Todd's dentist clowns are so accidentally creepy they would be a viable option to choose only as "a spooky experience" in October. Unfortunately, the episode is set in January. Double as a CallBack with the "Halloween in January" store that Todd and Mr. Peanutbutter founded in season 1. [[spoiler: And even triple as {{Foreshadowing}}, since at the finale of the season, Todd's will somehow think it would be a good idea to recycle this as a motivational situation, but between the idea in itself being dumb, the fact that Todd's is in charge and unsupervised, and the fact that in a word half full of animal men rabies — the disease who possibly could be the origin of the modern vampire and zombies mythos — it will go HorriblyWrong. It stil won't stop Todd.]]
