* TheBabyOfTheBunch: How everyone, except Jeremiah, treats Belly in Season 1. As the story starts, Belly is turning 16 and feels a little sheltered and like others treat or see her as a 'little kid' too, compounded by her being the youngest of the kids. She wants to have her first kiss and experience life.

* ForHappiness: Played for drama. Per Laurel, Susannah doesn't want to deal with conflict, and Conrad mentions how she always wants them to be happy. This ends up causing huge issues for her sons, who either try to deal with every problem alone and suffer in silence (Conrad), or always be happy, friendly, and outgoing as to not be a bother while secretly hiding their pain (Jeremiah). [[spoiler:In Season 2, after Susannah has died, her older half-sister, Julia, wants to sell the beach house, which is revealed to be a result of the pain Julia suffered because of their dad, which Susannah refused to deal with because she wanted everyone to be happy. This also results in the whole debacle of the beach house almost being sold, which hurts Susannah's sons, all of which could've been avoided if Beck would just deal with conflict.]]

* CharacterShilling: Every character seems to worship the ground Conrad walks on; his dad, while an absent cad, openly prefers Conrad to Jeremiah (whose existence he barely acknowledges); Laurel calls him 'her special guy'; Belly, obviously, has had feelings for him since she was 12; Steven looks up to him as a big brother figure and in Season 2 basically argues that Conrad can do no wrong despite Steven being there to comfort Belly when Conrad broke her heart; Jeremiah, by his own admission, almost felt like he had no choice to admire his big brother because everyone else was always going on about him.
