Line 24:
* [[Arc Words]]
** The chapter begins with a [[Flash Back]] to Nick and Marshall playing [[Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon]] (with Nick uttering the phrase "two degrees of separation"); toward the end, Aggie tells Marshall she needs "a few degrees of separation" from him.
** An example connecting two arcs, years apart: as everyone deserts her, Karen says pathetically to herself, "[[Screw the Rules, I'm Beautiful|Pretty people get to do what they want]]," echoing her words, uttered more haughtily, at the end of [[Penny and Aggie/Recap/The Mockingbird/Recap|The Mockingbird]].
* [[Camp Gay]]: Fred, at his [http://www.pennyandaggie.com/index.php?p=811 campiest].
* [[Cat Fight]]: More comical than sexy, however.
Line 33:
'''Elmer:''' Heh-heh, you said "new come." }}
* [[Love Bubbles]]: Seen [http://www.pennyandaggie.com/index.php?p=806 here] in a [[Flash Back]] to when Aggie was still friends, and secretly in love, with Marshall.
* [[Put on a Bus]]: This chapter marks the last significant appearances of Karen, Marshall and Omar, who have since appeared either as silent background cameos or, in Karen's case, with two panels' worth of dialogue (in the later arc [[Penny and Aggie/Recap/Missing Person: theThe Belleville Interviews/Recap|The Belleville Interviews]]). Samantha isn't seen for some time but plays a minor but noticeable role in [[Penny and Aggie/Recap/Mister Smiles/Recap|Mister Smiles]], while Meg, as the closest thing Cyndi has to an ongoing friend, gets a whole scene to herself in "The Belleville Interviews," and makes brief appearances before and afterward.
* [[Shoe Slap]]
* [[Shout-Out]]
** The chapter title alludes to ''[[Hamlet]]'' Act 5, Scene 2: "There is special providence in the fall of a sparrow." This is also a subtle [[Call Back]] to the bird symbolism in the title of the [[Penny and Aggie/Recap/The Mockingbird/Recap|arc]] which introduces Karen.
** Aggie's affectionate joke about Nick and Duane playing a game, "Two nerds enter, one nerd leeeaves!", is an allusion to the arena spectators' chant in ''[[Mad Max]]: Beyond Thunderdome''.
** Stan's warning to Cyndi, "You wouldn't like me when I'm catty," references [[The Incredible Hulk|Bruce Banner's]] [[Catch Phrase]], "You wouldn't like me when I'm angry."
