* HalfwayPlotSwitch: Multiple times! The episode starts off with a plot about Peter potentially getting laid off, but then he has a panic attack and Dr. Hartman prescribes some "Yacht Rock" for Peter to listen to, leading to a plot about the Griffins (along with Cleveland, Joe, and Quagmire) on a cruise. Then, the episode switches plots again and becomes a parody of ''Film/{{Poseidon}}''.
