* AnAesop:
** Nobody is immune to PTSD, and everyone has their own ways to cope. It's nothing to be ashamed of.
** Don't stress about death. Enjoy your life while you have it, because its fleeting nature makes it all the more sweet.

* DelayedReaction: The Buddhist story that Khan tells at Buckley's funeral, about the the man facing death from either being eaten by a tiger or falling to his death and believing the wild strawberry he ate at the moment was the most delicious food, had a moral of how facing death makes a person appreciate the world around them more. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Hank thinks its offensive how Kahn decided to tell a joke at a funeral]], while [[ActuallyPrettyFunny Bill believed the story to be funny]]. At the very end, when he finds Bobby in the playground, Hank consoles him by saying that he won't be dying anytime soon, and they have many years to enjoy each other's company, which is when Hank finally gets what Khan's story was all about.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When Hank and the guys are drinking in the alley a few days after the explosion, the guys keep asking Hank if he's really alright considering that he has made excuses as to why it's too soon to go back to the reopened Strickland Propane office, and Hank insists he's perfectly fine. What makes the guys worry that Hank is in denial of being traumatized by his experience, [[EmotionSuppression which Hank vehemently denies]], is the fact that instead of drinking his Alamo beer straight from the can, Hank instead pours it into a glass.
