* [[We Want Our Jerk Back]]: When Suzy acts proper, to Arthur's great dismay. {{spoiler|(Even if it's only for a short while.)}}

* [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic]]: ''Everywhere''. The series itself is named for a line from [[As the Good Book Says...|the gospels]], and it just gets deeper from there. The Incomparable Gardens are a fairly obvious reference to the Garden of Eden for a start, and given that Lord Sunday's [[Seven Deadly Sins|sin]] is [[Pride]], he could be interpreted as the equivalent to [[Satan|Lucifer]]. Saturday's Tower, built with the intent of reaching the Gardens, calls to mind the Tower of Babel. The Incomparable Gardens are also hosted on "Drasils", which is suspiciously similar to the word "Yggdrasil", the World Tree of Norse mythology.

* [[Winged Humanoid]]: Several types of Denizens and Nithlings have wings. Removable wings in varying degrees of usefulness also exist.
* [[Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?]]: Leaf and especially her brother Branch. Seriously, can you blame the guy for going by 'Ed' instead?

* [[Who Wants to Live Forever?]]: {{spoiler|The Architect eventually got bored of living and decided she wanted to return to Nothing. But the Old One, who was a part of her, had to be destroyed to in order for her to be dissolved, and his chains can only be broken if all of Creation is undone as well. Thus she started playing [[Xanatos Speed Chess]] and created a [[Batman Gambit]]; see below and above.}}

* [[Xanatos Speed Chess]]: {{spoiler|The Architect made the Will to get the Trustees to carry out her plan to destroy all of Creation, but they refused and broke the Will. However, the Architect then twisted their natures, corrupting each with one of the [[Seven Deadly Sins]], causing them to destroy the House anyway. Then she recruited Arthur to finish the Will and, even though he resisted every step of the way, she managed to manipulate him into completing the Will regardless. Note that this "Speed Chess" took thousands of relative years.}}
