14!!"Women Gotta Stick Together" (sung by Gabrielle Ruiz)
15[[youtube:P6B-r3QQw9M]]
16* ArtisticLicenseMusic: Type 1. Gabrielle Ruiz's right-hand strumming is entirely in rhythm (as you'd expect from a trained dancer) but when the chords change, the fingers of her left hand don't move.
17* CondescendingCompassion: What the entire song is about.
18-->''Some girls are born tall and thin,\
19 And some are short and fat.\
20 This girl smells like sausages,\
21 But there's nothing wrong with that!''
22* FemaleMisogynist: There doesn't seem to be a single woman who Valencia actually likes.
23* FriendshipSong: Parodied. Valencia sings in general terms about how all women should be friendly and supportive towards one another, while subtly (and unsubtly) insulting all of the specific women that she meets.
24* {{Pastiche}}: Of folk-rock.
25* SlutShaming:
26-->''So let's all spread this message\
27 Like Caitlin spreads disease.\
28 'Cause a change is coming faster\
29 Than Ashley drops to her knees.''

31!!"West Covina (Reprise II)" (sung by Vincent Rodriguez III and Rachel Bloom)
32[[youtube:q8XuQbzoFss]]
33* ICantBelieveAGuyLikeYouWouldNoticeMe:
34-->''Can't believe a girl like you (Aah!)\
35 Would think this place is a dream come true (Aah!)\
36 Or be swayed by a guy like me!"
37* LocationSong
38* SubvertedRhymeEveryOccasion: To parallel the original West Covina song.
39-->''It's Nirvana, it's Heaven, it's Mecca!\
40 Oh I'm hopelessly, desperately in love with...West Covina!''
41* TriumphantReprise

44!!Tropes in this episode:
45* BottleEpisode: The majority of the episode takes place on the party bus Rebecca rents.
46* BrickJoke: Darryl and his bean dip eventually make it to the party.
47* CringeComedy: Rebecca's incredibly uncomfortable pole dance in the party bus may be the most cringeworthy moment in the entire first season. And it's still hilarious.
48* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Darryl trying to join up with Rebecca and company is largely due to his desire and inability to make friends.
