Tropes:
- Call-Back: "Unfortunately, and not for the first time, Tobias got on the wrong boat."
- It's All About Me: Oh my God, Tobias, even more than usual. He exposes his patients' identities, embarrasses Michael in front of Ron Howard (although Michael certainly didn't help his own case any) and drives his girlfriend to a relapse, all so he can put on a futile effort at a musical in a completely unrealistic attempt at salvaging his dreams of stardom.
- Edgy Backwards Chair-Sitting: Parodied, Tobias sits like this when starting the therapy session at the clinic but the clinic uses wide armchairs, making him do the splits.
- Off the Wagon: Tobias' pushing DeBrie into the musical drives her to this.
- The Problem with Pen Island: Tobias has finally realised the problem with being called an "analrapist", but only after spending time in prison. He now refers to himself as a "theralyst".Narrator: Prison has taught Tobias a thing or two.
- Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: Referenced. The Narrator calls Tobias' ensemble "Tobias and his ragtag troupe of substance abusers".
