3* ContinuityNod: Archie's distaste for Barney's compulsive gambling grows from his own experiences, as detailed in the ''[=AItF=]'' Season 4 episode "Archie the Gambler." Here, it nearly leads to Barney's death -- first by suicide and later, by a bookie who's looking to collect on an unpaid debt.
4* TheGamblingAddict: Barney, in this episode.
5* InterruptedSuicide: Archie and Murray arrive just before Barney carries out his intended suicide by hanging himself.
6* {{Kneecapping}} and AnArmAndALeg: When they show up at Archie's Place looking for Barney, what the bookie and his hired muscle threaten to do to him if he doesn't have the money ... now. Murray manages to buy Barney time by telling them he's at the nearby topless/hottie bar.
