In season 1's "Pu$$y Weed" episode, Ilana breaks her tooth on a jawbreaker from Economy Candy after she brags to Abbi that she knows how to get to the center of one. They don't respect you." Actually, that seems kind of sinister now that we think about it.
Even in the series opener, "What a Wonderful World," Abbi wistfully says, "Any day now, a trainer's going to be absent, and guess who they're gonna invite to instruct a class?"

Abbi scoffs, and we assume that it's just a weird stranger.
