* BrickJoke: When intially promoting her counselling services, Helen tells the others that she would prefer it if anyone didn't come in with PTSD, as she had spilled coffee over that section in her book. When Brittas later takes Julie to Helen for counselling, Helen is trying to clean up coffee which has spilled on her book again.



* DeathSeeker: When the counselling file on her computer asks if she wants to commit suicide, Helen chooses the "Yes" option, heavily implying that she desires to kill herself.

* TroublingUnchildlikeBehaviour: Danny casually reveals that he used his computer skills to partake in money laundering, taking 20 million pounds from Southern Provincial's investment funds and inserting it into his father's account in the Cayman Islands, allowing it to gain interest, then returning the money. He is also young enough that he's doing mock chemistry exams in secondary school.

* DivingSave: When Brittas intends to head into his office, Carole, in a bid to prevent him from knowing of Tim, Gavin, and Danny's interactions with his computer system, dives straight for his legs. When we next see Brittas and Carole, the latter is still wrapped around Brittas' legs as he is making his way up, although this proves ineffective at actually stopping him.

* ShipperOnDeck: Upon hearing of Julie's attempts to seduce Brittas to distract him, Helen tries to convince Julie to get into an actual relationship with Brittas, arguing that an affair would do him the world of good and even offering her tiger costume first mentioned back in "[[Recap/TheBrittasEmpireS2E2TempleOfTheBody Temple of the Body]]" to make it easier. Julie, naturally, isn't having it.

* ActorAllusion: Brittas' (somewhat random) favourite show being ''Series/TopGearUK'' is probably this considering the fact that his actor (Creator/ChrisBarrie) is a fan of cars.

* {{Corpsing}}: When Carole is taking too long fussing over the computer to give Mrs. Philips her ticket to the pool, one of the extras in the scene is seen visibly trying to hide her laugh when Carole shows off Mrs. Philip's greasy hair shampoo despite the fact the extras are supposed to look annoyed.

* WeNeedADistraction: The staff need Brittas away from his desk whilst they get a virus inserted in it. Gavin tries to take him out for drinks whilst Linda informs him of a fire but Brittas takes care of both using his computer and booking events instead of going out immediately. The solution is to have Julie snog Brittas and profess her love for him to keep him distracted.
