Line 13:
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Don't make June angry
* [[Big Applesauce]]
* [[Big "What?"]]: June, after finding out that her fiancee is [[Your Cheating Heart|easily swayed]] in the pilot.
* [[Braces of Orthodontic Overkill]]: In a flashback to her high-school days during "Shitagi Nashi…", June is shown wearing headgear during the daytime.
* [[The Casanova]]: James readily uses his Dawson's Creek fame to seduce women
Line 31:
* [[Going Commando]]: Chloe does this, we learn in "Shitagi Nashi ..." The episode title is the supposed Japanese translation of "Tall Slut No Panties", a comic book series based on her exploits.
* [[Gone Horribly Right]]: Chloe teaches June to be more confident, which results in her becoming a bigger bitch than Chloe.
* [[Hard -Drinking Party Girl]]: Chloe is an excellent example, down to being almost a professional [[Trickster]]. In "Shitagi Nashi ...", Robin tells June that Chloe's liver is superhuman.
* [[Homage]]: In "Shitagi Nashi ...", June shows Chloe a comic strip she supposedly drew (complete with [[Mary Sue]] versions of herself and a friend) in high school that seems like an homage to ''[[Teen Girl Squad]]''.
* [[Hot Dad]]: Turns out that Chloe has one, and he becomes a [[StacysStacy's Mom|StacysDad]] to {{spoiler|June}}.
* [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming]]: Except for the pilot, every episode's title ends in an ellipsis.
* [[In Medias Res]]: The pilot begins with the event described in [[Interrupted Intimacy]] below, and then flashes back to a week earlier as June arrives in New York.
Line 43:
* [[Lovable Alpha Bitch]]: ''Chloe''.
* [[Malaproper]]: In "Making Rent ..." we learn that June goes to a Korean Baptist church because it reminds her of her church at home. Chloe confuses "Korean" and "Christian" for the rest of the episode; later June starts doing it too.
* [[NamesName's the Same]]: Mark Reynolds is also a baseball player for Baltimore that is known for hitting homers and striking out.
* [[Naive Newcomer]]: June. She starts catching on real quick, though.
* [[Older Than They Look]]: Chloe's dad, which is part of why June is so shocked {{spoiler|that she was about to have sex with him}}.
* [[Raven Hair, Ivory Skin]]: Chloe
* [[Relationship Reveal]]: When June discovers that the guy she spent all night talking to (and was about to have sex with) is actually {{spoiler|Chloe's father.}}
* [[Rich Bitch]]: Subverted. Chloe definitely has a nice place filled with equally as nice furniture, but she only attains all of it after [[Magnificent Bastard|taking more money than needed from her roommates, keeping their security deposits for herself, then purposely driving them out with her behavior, and finally, repeating the process.]]
* [[Screw the Rules, I Have Connections]]: Chloe is able to become a foster mother without the usual interviews, inspections and background checks because she knows someone who works at Child Services.
* [[Shout Out]]: Plenty in the first few episodes alone, mostly relating to James. His tenure as [[Dawsons Creek|Dawson]] is naturally brought up on numerous occasions, but he also references his appearance in [[Kesha]]'s "Blow" music video as well.
* [[Spoiled Brat]]: Molly, Chloe and June's foster child comes off as this and is completely ungrateful for June caring for her.
