* BadGuyBar: The Firehouse, which Sheldon, Sturgis and Linkletter thought was an actual firehouse, turns out to be a seedy bar. Thankfully, there are no rough customers to give them trouble, but the bartender is pretty ornery and doesn't take kindly to "northerners" like Sturgis and Linkletter. Fortunately, Sheldon is able to talk Texan to her.
* CallBack: George takes Missy to Red Lobster, just as he did on "[[Recap/YoungSheldonS1E21SummerSausageAPocketPonchoAndTonyDanza Summer Sausage, a Pocket Poncho and Tony Danza]]." Only this time Missy doesn't want to go in because her classmates might see her on a "daughter-daddy date".
* CallForward: Sheldon suggests one of his science-based car games, just as he does on ''Series/TheBigBangTheory''. Also like in ''Big Bang'', his carmates find them annoying.
* GoodAngelBadAngel: Connie and Dale appear to Georgie while making out with Mandy in his van, with Connie as the good angel and Dale as the bad (or at least indifferent) angel. They both disappear the moment Mandy takes off her top.
* JarPotty: Linkletter brought a "trucker buddy" for peeing. Sheldon is grossed out, but prefers it to a gas station restroom.

Georgie turns to Dale (Creator/CraigTNelson) for advice. Dale's advice is, at best, inconclusive. Although Georgie does have some pangs of conscience, visually manifested as Connie and Dale, Mandy's physical attractiveness is enough to evaporate those from the randy teenager's mind.

The three of them go to a bar called "Firehouse," thinking it was a fire department station. After a patriotic speech from Sheldon, the bartender agrees to let Sturgis borrow the bar's phone. But the poor animal dies before Sturgis can find help.
