** When realizing the jumper could die if he jumps, Dennis mentions Maureen Ponderosa, his ex-wife, being pushed off a roof less high than that of Paddy's and breaking her neck. An interesting variation, since this seems to imply he did indeed kill her, while the episode dealing with her death made clear at the end he didn't.

Trapped inside Paddy's with a suicide jumper on the roof, the Gang wonders if they should bother intervening with an algorithm of their own - Could he, would he, should we?
----

!This episode provides examples of the following tropes:

* FailedASpotCheck: Frank seems to think that they best place to hide his weed is in a casaba melon with an obvious cutting in it which is ''then'' stored in a safe. The gang points out that not only is it not as inconspicuous that he thinks it is, but weed is basically legal in Philadelphia at that point, thus rendering the entire get-up pointless.
* TakeThat: The episode pokes fun at the focus group-based viewing algorithm, the episode beginning when the Gang (sans Frank) are watching an Edwardian PrimeTimeSoap and remarking how much they like it. By the end of the episode, they admit they only watch it because the algorithm told them to watch it and reveal that they don't really enjoy it.
