* RememberThatTimeYouBlewUpTheSun: meta-wise. The shot where Hanson crashes his car during the credits was one of the most expensive ever produced for the show; this and the shot of Hanson dressed and hair-styled rockabilly style (although in the 80's it would have just been 'retro') was considered so iconic that when Michael Bendetti was cast in season 5, the establishing behind the wheel shot was re-done in identical style with Bendetti, despite the fact his character, Tony 'Mac' [=McCann=] never gets into anything resembling a car chase or race at all.

* AlcoholInducedIdiocy: Normally responsible Tom Hanson, in an Out Of Character moment, gets drunk and next morning doesn't have any clear recognition of the night before, but talking to his friend Russel finds out not only did he literally fight a bear in a bar, but he got a tattoo on his arm.

* OutOfCharacterIsSeriousBusiness: As Penhall, Fuller and Hanson himself remark a few times during the episode: getting drunk, getting a tattoo, skipping court and crashing a wedding is ''not'' like Hanson normally acts. In this episode, this is all chunked up to a belated "Coming of Age" phase for Hanson. However, starting from this episode up until late Season 4, Hanson gradually goes over more and more to the wild and cynical side, differing more and more from how his character originally was in the first season-and-a-half. It ends in him quitting the police force, and thus the series.

Hanson (and by extension, Penhal) gets into trouble with the police department for, when undercover, participating in illegal street races when he wasn't supposed to. Hanson and Penhall both are sent back to the police academy. But then Hanson's friend from the past, Russell Buckins, shows up.

Impulsively, instead of going to the police academy like he's supposed to, Hanson takes off with Russell to go to Debbie's wedding--Debbie being a former flame of Hanson's who's now getting married. Russell is pressing Hanson to seduce Debbie before she's marrying.

* TheBroCode: Back in their late teens, Hanson had a crush on Debbie; his close friend Russell had sex with her knowing that. After that happened, Russell kept it a secret because he felt that isn't something a guy should do to his friend. In this episode, years after the fact, he still tries to hide this for the same reason, but Hanson finds out, and calls Russell out for not being a good friend for sleeping with the girl he had a crush on.


Added DiffLines:

* WrongNameOutburst: According to Russell, when he had sex with Debbie she screamed Tom's name instead of his. It's unclear if this is true as he's implied to be making this up out of guilt for violating TheBroCode.

!! This episode provides examples of:
* AmbiguousEnding: So did Hanson sleep with Debbie? It is alluded to in a scene, but neither the audience nor, In Universe, Russell Buckins, ever finds out.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Russell acts weird (often noted by other characters) and has unusual speech patterns.
-->''[REPEATED line by other characters about Russell]'' Who IS this guy?!
* ComingOfAgeStory: An unusual one, since Hanson actually is in his early twenties. But it's heavily emphasized in this episode that he never had a rebellious phase as a teenager, and now is going through a belated one. He's dealing with it by drunkenly getting a tattoo and crashing a wedding.
* CurseCutShort: At the end, Russell, having just been thrown out of a car by Hanson and like the audience wondering whether Hanson slept with Debbie, utters "You did, you son of a--" -- cue end credits.
* RoadTripPlot: The episode is about Hanson going on a road trip with Russell Buckins in an act of rebellion.
* ShipperOnDeck: Hanson's friend Russell Buckins convinces Hanson to try to get back an ex-flame of Hanson's. Inconveniently, she's is about to get married to someone else right now. Russell believes Hanson and she should be together though.
* WalkOnTheWildSideEpisode: The normally by-the-book and almost uptight Hanson, under the influence of his wild friend Russell, ditches his work without notice, decides to not show up in court where he is supposed to testify, gets drunk and gets a tattoo in that state, [[ItMakesSenseInContext fights a bear]], wants to go crash a wedding, and (himself a police officer) has a run-in with the police.
* WhatDidIDoLastNight: Hanson wakes up in a car the morning after he went out with Russell, and is confused about what happened last night. Russell tells Hanson that he got a tattoo, to which he reacts in shock.
