* EarnYourHappyEnding: Unlike many episodes, this one ends on an unambiguously happy note. Charlie manages to expose his boss's illegal practices and ends up getting his job. He also scores a date with the woman he has a crush on. And he still has Mr. Motivation on his desk to keep him on his toes and prevent him from abusing his employees.

A strange talking doll received as a birthday present encourages a timid man to stand up to his overbearing boss.
Deleted line(s) 26,27 (click to see context) :
Scott Turner, a sports agent with a client considering releasing him, leaves the street when his car breaks down, gets lost in the woods, and stumbles on a large house with a great view and devoid of electricity - even cell phones don't work. He meets Marisa Sanborn, who says she got there in the same way after an argument with her fiancé, and they find the house contains enough room and settings for two with clothing and everything else their size. Soon they're joined by Ricki, a woman whom the house doesn't supply for, can get her cell to work, hates the isolation and rurality, and seems awed and impressed but unhindered by the harmful creatures that mysteriously come around the place.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Marisa is the first of the two to accept what's become of them, along with expressing how she's getting tired of all the stress of being "part of the game". Scott, however, accepts the stress and thinks it's crazy to accept being stuck in the house, taking longer than her to toss his stuff in the fire. This hints that of the two, Scott is the most likely to ruin the paradise they've found themselves in.

* DisappointedInYou: Ricki is rather upset that Scott took the bait and called his client instead of a doctor, denying him and Marisa of this wonderful paradise.
* DownerEnding: Due to Scott taking the phone to call his client, both he and Marisa are ejected out of the home and find themselves right back where they came from, losing their memories of the time spent and falling in love with each other. They also go right back to their miserable lives of Scott losing his client and Marisa with her less-than-favorable fiancé.
* EverybodyLives: For once, an episode that doesn't feature a character dying ends on a somber note, since both Scott and Marisa have no memory of their time together.
