* [[Hands
* [[Love Will Lead You Back]]: Or at least, Casanova hopes so.
* [[Nostalgia Heaven]]: The ending.

* [[Rich Suitor, Poor Suitor]]: One of the big differences between Casanova and Grimani.
* [[Servile Snarker]]: Rocco.
* [[Turn Out Like His Father]]: Giac, Casanova's son lampshades this.
* [[What Exactly Is His Job?]]: Casanova changes jobs as necessary in order to earn money.
* [[You Have Waited Long Enough]]
