Unreliable Narrator | |
| Lovesick / int_1869b4b1 | comment |
Unreliable Narrator: Everyone in the episode 'Abigail, Again' as Dylan tries to piece together why Abigail isn't speaking to him, but particularly Luke - his flashback revolves around him attempting not to have sex with a girl he meets at the party, and ends with him masturbating in a smoking area to try and avoid doing anything. In Angus' flashback, we see Luke and her heading into the toilets together (presumably to have sex). | |

Death by Origin Story: Luke's relationship with Jo. Their breakup coincides with him turning into The Casanova. Any of Dylan's flashback exes (excluding Abigail), given the nature of the story. | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
| Lovesick / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: We come to learn that Evie has been in love for Dylan for at least three years. With them being flatmates and best friends, presumably there would've been plenty of opportunities for her to tell him about her feelings, besides the one time we see her fail to do that on her birthday. But she never comes clean, not even when she and Dylan end up having sex. Not that Dylan is any better at it, though, when he starts to develop feelings for her... Even between Dylan and Luke regarding Phoebe: Dylan and Phoebe break up due to the obvious chemistry between Phoebe and Luke during a pub quiz (they not only get along very well but have the same mannerisms down to the way they sip beer), but other than kissing her during said quiz after Dylan leaves the pub, Luke never attempts to court Phoebe out of respect for Dylan even though Dylan would have eventually accepted them together. This is never discussed between Luke and Dylan until after they find out Phoebe had died years ago, which leads to a brief fist fight in front of her mother. | |

Mistaken for Gay | |
| Lovesick / int_561dab6b | comment |
Mistaken for Gay: Evie and Abigail; when Abigail breaks up with her chef boyfriend, he mistakes Abigail encouraging Evie to try a relationship with Dylan as Abigail encouraging Evie to have a relationship with her. (They roll with it, as it softens the blow for him to think of the breakup as being down to Incompatible Orientation) Mentioned a few times in the season after; they joke about it again to drive off an annoying man who hits on them both, and it's key to Dylan realising that Abigail's short story is actually about her and Evie (and thus, that Evie was in love with him for years). | |

Freeze-Frame Bonus | |
| Lovesick / int_62f9d08e | comment |
Freeze-Frame Bonus: The list in episode 1; the name 'Cressida' is in quotation marks, which foreshadows the revelation at the end of episode 3 that this is a fake name for Evie (based on the borrowed business card she used to get them out of trouble right before they slept together). Jonesy is also absent from the list, which matches up with the revelation in 'Jonesy?' that they didn't actually have sex. | |

Idiosyncratic Episode Naming | |
| Lovesick / int_ac4ac8e5 | comment |
Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: Each episode title is the name of the woman he is contacting. Except for "Cressida", where the series pulls a Bait-and-Switch, as we find out that Dylan didn't have sex with Cressida rather than Evie, who was posing as her to Ilona's brother. By the end of season 2, when Dylan has finished his list, the gimmick changes to being the name of a woman central to the episode - sometimes a woman Dylan is sleeping with (e.g. 'Abigail, Again, Again' for the episode where they break up), sometimes not (e.g. 'Bonnie', for an episode where karaoke singing to Bonnie Tyler's 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' is important). | |
