* [[Rousing Speech]]: Penny uses this to shake Aggie out of her despair and make peace with her so they can stop Karen:
{{quote| That's what she'll do to the world. I always felt like I had this little safety zone, because a lot of the things I cared about...I didn't ''really'' care about. I don't really need the perfect shoes. It's just fun to pretend I do. And I could look at her! And not really care. So she fools peons into thinking she's hot, so what? Who'll care in a few years? We're all going to college or startups. Except...so is she. She'll go far in this world. And she'll get whatever she wants...by making dozens, hundreds, of people feel like you feel right now. And we gave her the power. So it will be our fault. Unless... (''extends hand to Aggie and pulls her up'') Ready to save the world, you post-ironic post-yuppie?}}
* [[Shout -Out]]: The opening sentence of Penny's [[Rousing Speech]] is a nod to the passage in Robert Cormier's ''[[The Chocolate War]]'', in which Jerry accepts the challenge of facing [[The Dragon|Janza]] in a boxing match, because of "[w]hat guys like [[Big Bad|Archie]] and Janza did to the school. What they would do to the world when they left Trinity."
* [[Unspoken Plan Guarantee]]: [[Inverted Trope|Inverted]], in that Aggie's plan, though indeed unspoken in the previous chapter, fails miserably.
* [[Unwanted Harem]]: Marshall resents having so many girls crushing on him, when the only one he loves is Karen, and Aggie doing so is the last straw for him.
