* HighSchool: This episode is centered in the cast's year as seniors.
* JerkJock: Kyle Valenti, in general acts like every high school jock, being abrasive and obnoxious. He goes out of his way to mock and ridicule Alex during prom, prompting Liz to fight with him and leave him.
* OnceMoreWithClarity: Throughout the season, there had been snippets and small flashbacks, giving a glimpse of what everyone was like or a specific point of their past without much context. In this episode, a lot if not all those small flashbacks and references are given a much larger explanation and show how they're all connected and how it all led them to the present.
