-->'''Charlie:''' What was the context?
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: The Waitress is somewhat perturbed when Charlie stops stalking her, especially when her life begins to fall apart for no readily identifiable reason shortly afterwards.
* PetTheDog: While it's implied that at least part of the reason Dennis is so invested in "exposing" Ruby is because he doesn't believe that a girl like her could ever actually be interested in Charlie, he does still seem to be genuinely concerned for Charlie's mental wellbeing.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Charlie delivers a ''brutal'' one to Ruby at the end of the episode.
-->'''Ruby:''' I wasn't using you like Trevor was, he's a total asshole. I really, really, really like you.
-->'''Charlie:''' Oh, yeah. I know. Okay? I was using ''you.'' That's why I kissed you in front of the Waitress, that's why I banged you a bunch of times just to make the Waitress jealous. Amazing, you slept with me almost instantly! And by the way, a quality woman doesn't do that. She doesn't say yes right away, she says no to a man for years, like ten years! That's what a ''real'' woman does, okay? You know what you were acting like? A stupid little rich slut. And that's all that you are.
* RunningGag: Yet ''another'' of Dee's cars gets damaged. Also, she immediately starts gagging when she first sees Trevor.
* ShoutOut: Dennis claims that the Tafts are re-enacting the plot of ''Film/DangerousLiaisons'', ''Film/CruelIntentions'', ''Film/ShesAllThat'', ''Film/CantBuyMeLove'' and "just about every late-90s movie".
* UnderdressedForTheOccasion: Mac and Dee turn up to a black tie event in their usual attire, as Trevor deliberately didn't inform them of the dress code in order to humiliate them.
* UnwantedAssistance: The Waitress tells Charlie in no uncertain terms that she doesn't want him doing any of the weird things he does to "help" her. She changes her mind at the end of the episode, however, when she has a run of bad luck immediately after he stops the stalking.
* WouldHitAGirl: Mac and Dee come to physical blows while trying to impress Trevor, and neither of them hold anything back.
