The closing moments of the episode feature Pet Shop Boys' classic 'It's a Sin,' expertly tying together the themes of indulgence and repression in the Gemstone family. While they're enveloped in raw debauchery, the siblings hilariously grapple with their father, Eli's, potential romantic escapades. Despite being a morally loose family, the thought of Eli taking up with another woman after the death of their mother appalls the siblings. This episode reveals the contrasts between their public condemnations of sin and their personal experiences, showcasing Eli's mid-life crisis against a backdrop of humor and family dynamics.
"It's funny to think about any kind of repression being an issue in the Gemstone family, which generally allows itself to indulge in the sins it condemns on Sundays."
"Eli is indeed wasting away in Margaritaville, doing his own variation on the South Florida cliché of a divorced or widowed gray-hair tomcatting around the marina."
