- Walter's implausibly calm response to the broken engagement is a weak-link choice; his six-weeks-absent remark and grandmother's china obsession deepen the complaint, while affection for Pullman is defended.
- Jessica's parents, especially her father announcing This is your father, are a weak-link choice because their broad tone seems to belong in Seinfeld.
- Clarise is a disputed weak-link choice for useless babysitting when Jonah disappears; a counterview sees deliberately terrible babysitting as the joke and proposes her as a heat check.
