* {{Hypocrite}}: Brian feels this way about Angela when she calls him heartless (in voiceover, he says, "I mean, the fact that she called me 'heartless' - that's just really good. That's excellent. I mean, how ironic can you get without puking?") after he fact she felt she had to tag along with him and Delia to the dance. Angela does have a HeelRealization and apologizes to Brian later.

[[ADayInTheLimelight Brian gets the spotlight (and the voiceover) in this episode]]. Sharon tries to set him up with Delia Fisher (Creator/SentaMoses), who works with her on yearbook, and though Brian is awkward about it, he's smitten enough to arrange to go with Delia to the World Happiness dance Sharon's in charge of. However, Angela ends up asking if she can tag along with them, and so Brian ends up worming his way out of the date. In the meantime, Rickie becomes attracted to Corey Halfrick (Adam Biesk), another student, but it turns out Corey's not interested.
Elsewhere, Graham wallpapers a room in the house, and Patty pushes him to sign up for a continuing education course in cooking.
