'''Toby:''' It's not a movie, Oz. It doesn't happen that way.<br />
(Car blows up.) }}

* [[Instant Humiliation - Just Add YouTube]]: A politician's sex tape gets leaked to the Internet and goes viral seemingly instantly.
* [[Is That What They're Calling It Now?]]: Right after Toby has been teasing Oz about how all he thinks about is his new girlfriend:
{{quote| '''Oz:''' Look, if I do Ryder a favor or two, he could help me switch some shifts and I can sync up with Sandy's schedule.<br />
'''Toby:''' Is that what it's called nowadays? }}

* [[Mysterious Past]]: Toby can't remember his past as a young child and throughout the first season each episode some bits and pieces are remembered which leaves you hoping that there's a second season and that they'll just spit it out.
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Both of Toby's parents are out of the picture. He never knew his dad and doesn't know what happened to his mom {{spoiler|who apparently jumped into a river with him when he was little while running away from something...}}
