10	* AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: Not only are the sewers large enough for even Ned to walk around comfortably the walls are patterened in yellow tiles.
11	* DecontaminationChamber: [=LeNez=] has one the clean off visitors so they don't bring any unpleasant-smelling particles into his office.
12	* {{Foreshadowing}}: Lily goes to "her dark place" when Olive starts asking about Chuck's mother.
13	* GenreSavvy: Chuck is cautious about Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers.
14	* HarmonyVersusDiscipline: Vibenius and [=LeNez=]'s rivalry. [=LeNez=] believes in only engaging with good smells, and lives in a highly controlled environment so he can remove any "bad" smells. Vibenius believes in embracing the full spectrum of fragrance even if it's "bad", and as a result spends a lot of time in the sewer.
15	* MeaningfulName: "Le nez" is French for "the nose".
16	* MySensorsIndicateYouWantToTapThat: [=LeNez=] can tell by smelling Ned that he and Chuck are in love.
17	* TheNoseKnows: Napoleon [=LeNez=] and Oscar Vibineous have heightened senses of smell and can pick up minute details based on someone's scent.

25	-->({{Beat}})
26	-->'''Olive''': Hi, Emerson.
27	-->'''Emerson''': Hey, Olive.
28	* SherlockScan: [=LeNez=] and Vibenius both sniff our heroes and report back on what they find.
29	* ShoutOut: To Film/TheWizardOfOz following the "yellow thick tube"
30	* SmellsOfDeath: [=LeNez=] notes that Chuck smells of "death" but attributes it to the chemicals in her perfume. Except, she points out, she's not wearing perfume so the smell is coming from her. Vibenius picks up on the same scent, and her lack of perfume, and also recognises that Digby has the same note in his smell but considers it different to the smell of death. He doesn't know what this means, but the audience is aware it's because they were both revived by Ned.
