Spock Speak: Elizabeth's dry, scientific demeanor are utilized to make her cooking show Supper at Six unique — she is deadpan in her delivery and insists on referring to ingredients by their chemical names, e.g. "sodium chloride" instead of salt.

Ditzy Genius: Elizabeth wonders if Calvin is one of those people who is incredibly knowledgable in one field but not so much in others after he, a gifted and brilliant chemist, innocently asks why anyone would ever discriminate on the basis of someone's gender.
