* {{Steampunk}}: The genre is referenced when Rosa, needing a costume for the convention, is informed that her [[HellBentForLeather usual attire]] is a dead ringer for every female bounty hunter in any given steampunk novel; all she needs are welding goggles (which she has in her car). Rosa's "costume" gets her some approving nods from some identically-dressed fans, and the resemblance to such characters convinces her to start reading a steampunk novel, [[ConvertedFanboy which she quickly falls in love with]].
* TakeOurWordForIt: Terry's apparently awful writing is never shown to the audience, but it only takes reading a single sentence to convince Rosa that no one could honestly claim to like it.

* TerribleArtist: While Terry is a legitimately talented artist, as a writer, he's apparently ''terrible''; Jake considers his book to be the worst thing he's ever read and is instantly convinced of Parlov's guilt when the author claims that he liked it. After reading a single sentence of Terry's book, Rosa immediately agrees with Jake. Despite this, Jake encourages Terry to keep at it so he can get better, especially since he clearly enjoys it.
