When Eep wants girl-time with Dawn, Guy tries to find a friend to spend "guy-time" with and finds an unlikely cohort in Thunk.
Tropes for this episode include:
- An Aesop: Learn to balance romantic and platonic relationships.
- Control Freak: Phil insists that his method of digging is the right way and micromanages Grug every step of the way.
- Dating What Daddy Hates: Guy expresses genuine surprise when Grug agrees to hang out with him explicitly because Grug hates that he is dating Eep.Grug: If hanging out with you means not listening to Phil, I'm in.
- Fence Painting: According to Hope, Phil has a tendency to do this with her whenever they need to dig a new well.
- Motor Mouth: Guy's attempt at hanging out with Hope and Ugga fails because they try to quietly meditate while he drones on and on about Eep and Dawn.
- Oblivious Guilt Slinging: Dawn ends up doing this to Eep when her skipping out on girl-time for her dates with Guy start becoming a problem.
- Oblivious to Hints: After spending so much time with Guy, Eep tries to let him off gently that she wants girl-time with Dawn. None of this occurs to him until she spells it out to him.
- Offscreen Moment of Awesome: The Rhimotheris emerging from its cocoon is apparently super awesome. Just take the amazed looks on Thunk and Guy's faces for it.
- Overly Long Gag: In the brief time that Guy and Grug hang out, they flounder in silence (aside from sharing their opinions about rocks) because they have absolutely nothing else to talk about.
- Strange Minds Think Alike: Guy ends up adopting Thunk's enthusiasm for the Rhimotheris on the window.
- Worthless Yellow Rocks: Phil refers to the diamonds he and Grug dig up as "more useless shiny rocks."
