Tropes:
- Bavarian Fire Drill: Ellen uses her scrubs to look like she needs whatever she's stealing for an emergency situation, as no store wants to be blamed for impeding care.Ellen: I'm serious. If you're wearing nurse scrubs and you're running, stores will pretty much let you take anything for free.
- Bickering Couple, Peaceful Couple: Brought into focus in this episode. While Ben and Kate have a public argument about a variety of secrets they'd been keeping from each other, it's smooth sailing for Liv and John.
- Blatant Lies: Kate saying that she also meant frogs when she said she liked getting peed on.
- Cliffhanger: All of the main ensemble's secrets are revealed (minus The Masquerade), Harry is shot, Asta has killed his shooter, D'Arcy stumbles onto the scene, the carnivorous alien baby is on the loose, and there's another alien race trying to take over Earth.

- His Name Is...: Goliath is about to reveal which aliens are planning to take over Earth when Harry gets shot.
- I Need a Freaking Drink: Having decided to go sober only a few hours prior, D'Arcy wordlessly pours herself red wine when Kate confronts her about kissing Ben.
- Idiot Ball:
- Max actually thought that Dr. Ethan just coincidentally left town the same night that he told The Men in Black that Ethan was an alien. It takes Sahar to point out that they obviously captured him.
- Mike chimes in to "help" vouch for Ben's innocence, except the argument wasn't about D'Arcy kissing Ben; Kate only learns about that because Mike mentions it.

- Making Love in All the Wrong Places: Kate and Ben are Overcome with Desire in Harry's bathroom.
- Newhart Phonecall: Ellen has one with an unknown friend or associate in which she implies that she uses her status as a nurse to commit acts of petty shoplifting and also reveals that Mayor Ben is hosting a surprise party for Harry to try to get him to return to being the town doctor.

- Taken for Granite When the alien, "Goliath," died, his body crystallized in a standing position, making him resemble a statue.
- Wham Episode: David Logan is shot by an alien and possibly killed, taking the last alien ball with him. The hybrid baby is loose. Kate is pregnant. Ben and D'Arcy's secrets are revealed to whoever didn't know. Another alien race is looking to take over the Earth. Harry gets shot and D'Arcy stumbles onto the scene just after Asta shoots and kills Harry's attacker.
- Worth It: Deputy Liv agrees with D'Arcy Bloom's assessment that it was worth it for Liv to have stolen her grandmother's deviled egg recipe, even though her grandmother's hated her for it since she was ten and has said she wants to die soon so that she can come back as a ghost and steal Liv's soul.
