  • Internal Reveal: It's revealed that Dana kissed Harry, who confides the secret to Milton and Kevin.
  • Rousing Speech: Harvey gives one to his female students in which he encourages them to "wear a bra for the good of the country." Unfortunately, they respond by removing their bras and hanging them on their lockers.
  • Tantrum Throwing: A mild example. When Dana presses the issue with Harry after he gets Scott to back off of her, Harry abruptly chucks his bag across the Dungeon.
