8
9	----
10	!!Provides examples of:
11	* AccidentalMisnaming: Apparently, the barista who serves Boyle his morning coffee has been calling him "Charlize Broyle" for five years. He never had the confidence to correct her until his relationship with Vivian.
12	* AffectionateNickname: Vivian and Charles have pet names for each other: Vivian is Vivi and Charles is Chuckebunny.
13	* AgeGapRomance: Vivian is a professor whom Charles met at Captain Holt's party and they hit if off. She's twenty years older than Charles who is in his forties. Jake and the squad discuss it as somewhat unusual in the ColdOpen, but ultimately they're happy for him.
14	-->'''Jake:''' Man, Charles has been so happy and confident ever since he hooked up with that professor at the captain's party. She has tenure, and also has ten years, times two... older than him.\
15	'''Rosa:''' That sucked.
16	* AntiHumour: Holt's opening joke for his speech:
17	--> '''Holt:''' You know what the toughest part about being a gay black police officer is? The discrimination.
18	* BlatantLies: When Super Dan first comes up to Amy's desk, she claims she had just retired that moment and that her breakfast muffin is actually her retirement cake.
19	* TheCloudcuckoolanderWasRight: Despite or because of how ridiculous he is, Super Dan is able to observe an incredible amount of illegal activity in his neighborhood and nobody pays him any mind. He has it all thoroughly documented, and it proves to be an invaluable witness to numerous drug cases.
20	* CourteousCanadian: According to Charles, the victim from Canada is a super nice guy.
21	-->'''Jake:''' How'd the interview with the victim go?\
22	'''Charles:''' It went okay. The guy was from Canada, said it was probably his fault for getting robbed and apologized for wasting my time.\
23	'''Jake:''' ''[chuckles]'' Oh, Canada. Truly Odie to America's Garfield.\
24	'''Charles:''' Mm-hmm.
25	* DoubleDate: Vivian and Charles have a dinner date and an anniversary. Charles gets too intense and is afraid he's gonna freak her out. Jake suggests they have a double date so he can keep an eye on him. Bernice, a friend of Vivian's, turns out to be a knock-out who loves ''Die Hard'' and the Nets as much as Jake. He has to to blow her off because of his promise to Charles.
26	* DumbassHasAPoint: Gina is certainly out of her depth when it comes to AAGLNYCPA and helping Holt prepare but she does have a valid point when she says that his opponent, not having to suffer for 25 years is a good thing because that is exactly why Holt created AAGLNYCPA in the first place. So that Brian would not have to face decades of discrimination before he could run for president of a club.
27	-->'''Gina:''' [[ArmorPiercingQuestion Isn't it a good thing that Brian Jensen didn't have to struggle for]] ''[[ArmorPiercingQuestion 25 years]]'' [[ArmorPiercingQuestion just to get up on this stage?]]
28	* FourthDateMarriage: Boyle and Vivian get engaged this episode. Remember, they only met each other last episode.
29	* HappyRain: Discussed. During the double date, Vivian says she loves rainy days. Boyle's mother loves rainy days as well.
30	* {{Hypocrite}}: Gina, rather politely and insightfully, calls Holt out on this in regards to his resentment towards Brian running against him for presidency of AAGLYNCPA.
31	* IHaveToGoIronMyDog: When Super Dan approaches with his information, Rosa says she's "busy working on (my) excuse." Amy evades him by claiming she's just now retired.
32	* LoopholeAbuse: In the past, Holt's request for funds to start an organisation for African American LG(BTQ+) officers is received with nothing but mocking, uproarious laughter from the other officers. In the present, Holt notes that since none of them ever actually bothered to say "no", he just went ahead and took the funds for it anyway.
33	* MaliciousMisnaming: Gina keeps calling Brian Jensen "Brain". He tries to correct her every time.
34	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Diaz and Santiago rejecting Super Dan. Turns out he had hundreds of photos on illegal drug activity but because they turned him down, [[TheLoad Hitchcock and Scully]] ended up with the case. Subverted because Super Dan is so much of a fanboy that he jumps at the chance of being involved in official police work, even if it's with the two who insulted him.
35	* OneSteveLimit: While trying to dig up dirt on Holt's opponent Brian Jensen, Gina absent-mindedly retrieves info on a WWI veteran named... Brian Jensen.
36	* PerilousMarriageProposal: Charles keeps trying to propose to Vivian, but because of his tendency to get too clingy, Jake keeps stopping him, which leads to a gradually-escalating series of potentially dangerous situations. Then Jake allows Charles to propose...because he's realized how concerned Vivian was when he and Charles got into a gunfight.
37	* PersonAsVerb: Not pop-culture related, but one name from their social circle. 'To go full Boyle' means to get way too intense way too fast in a romantic relationship. It always ends in heartbreak. Luckily, Vivian also goes full Boyle ('full Boyle for Boyle') and they are perfect for each other.
38	* RomanticSpoonfeeding:
39	** Charles tells Vivian he wants to draw her a bubble bath and spoon-feed her caviar in one phone message (Jake hung it up, though). Given they're both food-obsessed and show love ThroughHisStomach, she would love it.
40	** In one voice mail, Vivian tells Charles they should feed each other falafel in their underwear.
