Go To

Tropes that Appear in This Episode

  • All Take and No Give: Alexis realizes that Ted is giving up a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her, and so she agrees to go to The Galapagos Islands.
  • Everything's Sparkly with Jewelry: Patrick shows just how well he knows David by proposing with a set of gold rings, indentical to the silver ones David wears every day.
  • Innocently Insensitive: Twyla's dark predictions clearly upset Alexis, but she continues with them anyway.
  • It's All About Me: Subverted. David initially makes the hike all about himself, but in a show of Character Development, he realizes his mistake and tries to make up for it.
  • Grand Romantic Gesture: It looks like it will go awry, but Patrick's romantic proposal turns out very romantic and David says yes.
  • Obsessed with Food: David is strongly motivated to eat the cheese that Patrick has packed for them.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Patrick is usually amused by David's fussiness, but he gets up to the point of wanting to call off the hike because he wanted to use it to propose.
  • Parental Substitute: It's clear Stevie sees Johnny as a father figure as much as a business partner.
  • Tarot Troubles: Twyla's card reading is rather gruesome, at least at first. She admits to thinking that her deck is cursed when Alexis returns, having predicted four other drownings that day.
  • Tears of Joy: David pulls a jewelry case out of one of the bags and turns, confused, to see Patrick on one knee. He then weeps unabashedly through his beautiful proposal.
  • What Is This Feeling?: Alexis is preoccupied with the idea that she will keep thinking about her family while in the Galapagos, even though they will be in Schitt's Creek. Ted assures her this is normal and it is called missing people.
