* NotSoAboveItAll: Everyone in the office looks genuinely shaken when Michael verbally destroys Dwight in their confrontation at the end, having clearly never witnessed this level of anger and wrath from Michael. Even Stanley, normally aloof to everything in the office and witheringly dismissive of Michael, can't stop himself from giving a brief nervous glance towards Michael's office when it's happening. And IceQueen Angela, who prodded Dwight into trying to steal Michael's job in LadyMacbeth fashion, can't bring herself to watch Dwight be taken down a peg. And, of course, Dwight himself -- normally the arrogant, swaggering, posturing egotist convinced of his own superiority over everyone around him -- is reduced to a terrified, cowering wreck of a man pathetically crying and pleading for his job.

* FalseFriend: Half of the episode's conflict is built around Michael realizing that Dwight's subservience and loyalty to him was all an act, and that he's only nice to people when it benefits him which, as Michael's new boss (or so he believes), is no longer the case.
* KickTheDog: Dwight responds to Michael's offer to loan him his Sebring by insulting the car and then refusing to apologize when Michael orders him to. This is what sends Michael over the edge as it convinces him that Dwight was only pretending to be his friend all this time.

* BerserkButton: While Michael is clearly seething after Dwight's attempt to undermine him and steal his job, he manages to sufficiently control his temper as TranquilFury long enough for his scheme to trick Dwight to work. But it's when Dwight dismisses Michael's car despite having previously flattered it that Michael finally explodes and unleashes his wrath. The clear implication is that while someone trying to steal his job is not going to put Michael in a good mood with them, pretending to be his friend is the ''real'' insult that sets him off.
