Previously On…: The show has an interesting way of doing this. Every episode begins with an employee at an electronics store trying to convince a coworker to watch the show and fills him in on the story surrounding the strip club. The coworker always finds a half-hearted reason not to watch it. In the season finale, the coworker admits he watched the show the previous week and decided it wasn't for him.

Actor Allusion
 The Guest Book / int_392372f9
comment
Actor Allusion: Michael K Williams is well known for playing Omar, who's known for whistling "The Farmer in the Dell" which is what precedes his first appearance in the finale. In addition he is well known for playing many gay characters (including Omar) which is fitting since he plays a spirit advisor to a man coming to terms with the fact that he's gay.

Once More, with Clarity
 The Guest Book / int_7374ab13
comment
Once More, with Clarity!: Clem from "Invisible Son" narrates his life in flashback detailing how he grew up with a rare condition that caused clumps of his hair to fall out, his mother later married his favorite wrestler, and they got their own reality show which Clem was forbidden from appearing on because of his bald spots. He later started taking medication which cured his bald spots and was allowed to visit his family while they were in town. We see the flashbacks again and it's then revealed he's actually the son of their former housekeeper, his condition was actually the result of him ripping out his hair and eating it when stressed, he wasn't allowed on the show because he wasn't actually a relative, and the medication he took actually controlled his stress.

Dénouement Episode: The penultimate episode of the season dealt with most of the running plotlines coming to a head, such as the paternity of Nikki's baby. By contrast the finale is just a quieter episode with the only recurring characters being Nikki and Tommy getting ready for a second child.

Too Dumb to Live: Inverted by Jacob the Amish boy who seems to be too dumb to die. He repeatedly tries to commit suicide, only for his attempted methods to have a serious flaw that anyone else could have known about. There's also the reason he wants to kill himself: after watching 8 Mile, he develops a crush on Brittany Murphy and is convinced God wants him to kill himself to be with her after finding out she died.
