* [[College Radio]]
* [[Crapsack World]]
<!-- * [[Crosswicking]]: In-universe, ''Infinite Jest'' is a film so mesmerizing that the U.S. government is interested in weaponizing it. MOD: And just what trope is this redlink supposed to be? -->

* [[Mind Rape]]: The last time we see {{spoiler|Orin Incandenza}}.
* [[Mushroom Samba]]: {{spoiler|John 'No Relation' Wayne}} gets dosed without his knowledge, and this is hinted as one possible cause for {{spoiler|Hal's final condition}} as well.
Line 83 ⟶ 82:
** Orin counts as well.
* [[Serious Business]]: Tennis. But this is a tennis academy, after all.
