Line 39:
** It's revealed in the season 2 finale that {{spoiler|when Tara was five-years-old, her and Charmaine's parents took in her father's son from a previous marriage, who was "troubled" and was implied to have repeatedly sexually abused her. Tara and Charmaine were moved to a foster home for a while; the woman who took them in inspired one of Tara's alters, Alice}}.
* [[Ghost in The Machine]]: Probably not in the actual series proper, but the title sequence stylistically represents the three alters living in a house that turns into Tara's head. It won an Emmy.
* [[Hey
** Not to mention Tara's husband is [[Sex and The City|Aidan]].
** In addition, [[Recess|Andy Lawrence]] of the [[Disney Channel|Lawrence brothers]] played Jason.
Line 46:
* [[Hey Its That Place]]: In the episodes "Alterations" and "Snow", the hospital the characters visit is [[Scrubs|Sacred Heart Hospital]].
* [[I Call It Vera]]: Buck has a gun called Persephone.
* [["I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight]]: [[Tear Jerker|Excruciatingly]] subverted in "Crunchy Ice".
* [[If You Ever Do Anything to Hurt Her]]: Despite the actual words never being said, since he was ''already'' hurting Kate, Buck and Marshall just decide to skip straight to making good on the threat.
* [[Important Haircut]]: "Don't you know? Tara's {{spoiler|never coming back}}."
Line 55:
* [[Kirk Summation]]: In the second episode, Alice rips Marshall's English teacher to shreds over his bad high school experiences. Needless to say, he reconsiders his treatment of Marshall.
** {{spoiler|Shoshanna}} for many of the main characters after her introduction, particularly Tara. She ''is'' a therapist after all.
** Grandma Sandi has an epic, and [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass|unexpected]], one for {{spoiler|Bryce Craine}}.
* [[Knight of Cerebus]]: {{spoiler|Bryce Craine}}
* [[Laughably Evil]]: Say what you want about {{spoiler|Bryce}}, he's entertaining.
Line 63:
** "Crunchy Ice" is the darkest episode of the series, but of course its chock full of [[Black Comedy]]. It's even lampshaded by Marshall.
{{quote| '''Marshall''': It's laugh or cry time here at the musée d'arte. I choose laugh.}}
* [[Never Mess With Granny]]: Despite the fact that she's a hoarding [[Cloudcuckoolander]], [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass|Grandma Sandi's]] got some bite. She was the only character who was ever able to effectively stand up to {{spoiler|Bryce Craine}}, giving an [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|amazing]] [[Kirk Summation]] with a [[Precision F
{{quote| '''Grandma Sandi''': Everything that's happened to your family, your kids, your husband, everything they are, everything they could've been but aren't, it's all your fault. And if you touch my tree, I'll break your fucking fingers.}}
** Also counts as a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] for her!
Line 90:
** In "Wheels," during the {{spoiler|conference in Tara's mind T refers to Gimme by saying they should "drown the dog." Gimme responds by biting her, then barking}}.
* [[Wild Teen Party]]: Marshall throws one with Kate's help when his parents are gone in the hopes that the boy he likes will come. Charmaine immediately thinks Kate is to blame.
* [[What Happened to The Mouse?]]: {{spoiler|Gene and Jason from the first season both vanished without mention by season 2. Possibly justified since a fair amount of time is implied to have passed between the two seasons so any manner of things could have happened to the two characters to prevent them showing up again}}.
** Jason is mentioned a couple of times in the second season.
** Also the case with T, who doesn't appear at all in the second season and is only talked about ''once''.
