* NeverMyFault: When Benson drags the duo out of the arcade, Mordecai tries to justify himself by saying that there were no windows in the arcade for them to know how long they were in there, even though he shouldn't have decided to go inside in the first place, as he was supposed to go straight to the dealership instead. Benson calls him (and Rigby) out on this, saying that excuses aren't going to cut it.

* AstonishinglyAppropriateInterruption: While driving with the cart to the dealership to have it repaired, Benson mutters to himself that as soon as he gets back to the Park, he is going to fire Mordecai and Rigby for starting this whole mess in the first place.

* BittersweetEnding: Mordecai, Rigby and Benson manage to get the cart to the dealership after taking a shortcut, but due to the perilous nature of said shortcut, their success comes with a few prices -- the cart is now in an even worse state than before, the truck has also taken considerable damage, and the trio have to be taken home by ambulance as a result of enduring some injuries.

** Benson is harsh towards the duo per usual, but it's justified on the account of their carelessness getting ''him'' in trouble with Mr. Maellard. Benson even admits that he's only harsh ''because'' of their poor performance.
** Mr. Maellard punishing Benson is undeniably MisplacedRetribution. However, given that Benson ''is'' the duo's superior and is supposed to keep them in line, his reprimanding of Benson is rather understandable.

As Benson goes to the restroom to take what he believes may be "(his) last bathroom break as an employed man", even they have to admit that Mordecai's reaction is: this time there's no way they can deny or shrug off how badly their actions have affected him.
