Take Our Word for It: Merlin, Zona's date in "Love Match Supreme Part 2," is described as being incredibly ugly, so much so that everyone who sees his profile photo on the Love Match Supreme app reacts in horror. When he actually appears, he is only shown from behind, as no real live actor could live up to his supposed hideousness. | |

By the end of the episode, he's the most popular "student" in the school, to the point that he's nominated for homecoming king and the school mascot is changed to "The Ryans." | |

The Casanova: Surprisingly Owen. The guy has no trouble flirting and charming women, as seen in "Love Match Supreme" and "Circus Berserkus," but his quirks will often leave them too weirded out or disgusted. Played straight however in "Power Outage," in which he gains a veritable harem of beautiful women, thanks to Devin's eagle. | |

Among other things, she flattens Ryan with a trash can, bites Micah on the shoulder like a rabid animal, and tasers Owen for a ridiculously long time. | |

Continuity Nod | |
Freelancers (Web Video) / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod In "Student Body President," Devin tells William Vanderchild that she and Zona live on the lawn. This references the pilot, in which Devin traded their apartment lease and furniture for a tent. Later in the same episode, while Devin imagines a conversation with her "mind melon," some objects and faint images are seen floating around, including a "HOT DONUTS!" sign (originally seen in the pilot), the number "720" (referenced in "Circus Berserkus"), and Scoots MaGoots (introduced in "Karate!"). Later on, Zona asks Micah to confirm that he understands that they're doing a smear campaign against Vanderchild, not a "schmear" campaign. Micah looks uncomfortable and mutters "But of course" with a British accent, referencing "Power Outage" where it's established that he involuntarily speaks with a British accent when he lies. "Zona And Bike Boy" shows that Owen's still fascinated with ninjas, which was established in "Karate!" In "Wheel of Challenges," when Zona reveals her rigging the wheel, Micah declares, "For shame, Zona!" and holds out the Shame Hat, which Micah and Zona both wore in "Power Outage." Even later, Zona is shown to particularly have it out for Owen in the flashback where she's putting her housemates' hands in bowls of warm water to make them pee themselves. She was previously shown to single out Owen in "Karate!" In "Learn, Fun, Can," Petunia can be seen briefly inside the refrigerator when Owen opens it to get some yogurt. Petunia first appeared in "Cursed." Micah mentions in the same episode that "pandas abandon their babies all the time," to which Ryan vehemently replies, "I won't hear a WORD against pandas!" This recalls his love of pandas mentioned in the pilot. | |

In "Circus Berserkus," when Zona encounters a masked, chainsaw-wielding character, she has a sudden fantasy of herself with him in a candlelit room, sipping wine and reading contracts (which she said earlier was her favorite part of her job). During "Student Body President" Devin begins imagining a mind melon locked in a cage, that she must release to regain her confidence. | |

Devin once worked in a circus, eating raw meat while people guessed her credit score. The job "messed [her] up good" and she doesn't take kindly to being reminded of it by the Circus Berserkus. In "Doodles Chips," we learn that Zona's "skin thing" is not to be the subject of any jokes among the VPC team. | |

Curse | |
Freelancers (Web Video) / int_c2e295cd | comment |
Curse: Miriam the Medium places one on the VPC crew in the appropriately titled "Cursed". After suffering under it (except for Ryan, who comes to love the Creepy Doll that follows him), they in turn place one on Miriam. In the end they all come to an understanding and break the respective curses on each other. | |

Shout-Out | |
Freelancers (Web Video) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out Zona really loves Danny DeVito. In "Karate!", Owen sings the chorus to "You're the Best Around"... or tries to. In "Student Body President," we learn that the whole VPC crew has Cuteness Proximity when it comes to Bernie Sanders. In the same episode, Devin is concerned that her prominent forehead makes her look like "Stephen King's It." Micah thinks it would be more accurate to say that It would be concerned about looking like her. | |

We didn't find out the last names of Devin (Mann), Micah (Pratchet), and Ryan (McCloud) until the season two episode "Wheel of Challenges." Only Zona's last name (Goodwin) was known right away; it was spoken in the very first sentence of the pilot. | |

His attempts to befriend them go all the way to catfishing all of them (barring Zona) through an online service, nearly costing them a job. In another instance, it costs them a payday, after Mr. Pecs has to allocate VPC's payment to repair the sauna that Mr. Gandolfini destroyed. | |
