A very contrived side-plot in this episode is a fish being almost flushed down a toilet. Prior to that, it is carried in a plastic bag, placed in a toilet tank, and accidentally flushed. It survives in the end.

Oscar, one of Mabel's childhood friends, was wrongfully imprisoned for a murder he didn't commit. He's released in season 1, and his time in prison is talked about.
In season 2, Charles visits Jan in prison. Jan is also briefly mentioned in season 3.
Throughout the series, various main and non-main characters are arrested (innocent or not), most often in the season finales.

Mabel, particularly in s1 and s2, sees and speaks with “ghosts”. They’re implied to be only products of her mind, but are presented to the viewer as if she is conversing with any other character. It’s neat. And somewhat disconcerting.

no nudity or s*x scenes are ever shown. a box of sex toys is found, and it appears a couple times throughout season one, but they're never shown being used. two characters sleep together totally offscreen, and one of them repeatedly mentions it in a bragging manner after the fact. one character mentions that they could hear a couple having s*x next door. two characters are briefly seen passionately making out in an elevator.

A man crying about his dead cat seems to be intended as a joke (i.e., meant to be laughed at) in S1. Most characters comfort him in the moment, which is definitely meant as a joke in juxtaposition to a lack of group emotion about a dead person. Later, it's implied that the man is too emotional because it was only a cat.
