* [[Reality Subtext]]: Michael Dorsey ''is'' Dustin Hoffman. All the insane ways Dorsey gets fired or quits from a production? They ''really'' happened.
* [[The Reveal]]: The big reveal for both the fictional soap and the actual movie, when Michael takes off his wig and many of his feminine touches and reveals himself to be a man during a live tapingbroadcast of ''Southwest General''.
