Hired by Dr. Namba, Butch and Cassidy steal Luvdiscs Kasurin and Luverin from the Cerulean City Gym.
Tropes:
- Call-Back: Misty is shown in the mermaid costume from the Indigo League episode "The Misty Mermaid".
- It's Personal: Cassidy gets especially angry when Butch receives a Water Gun in the face courtesy of Kasurin.
- Method Acting: In-universe: Daisy does this with her role as "High-Speed Hannah" in an upcoming movie, to Tracey's alarm and Misty's chagrin.
- Ship Tease: Between Misty and Tracey, from the narrator.
- Shipper on Deck: When talking about the play, Daisy intentionally pairs Misty and Tracey's characters together.
- Shout-Out:
- The episode title is a reference to the 1955 drama/romance movie Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing.
- One of the two names used on Butch is Buffy.
