* OverprotectiveDad: Greg attempting to spy on Taylor and Eyo with the drone they were ''originally'' supposed to use to keep an eye on Anna-Kat as she walked alone to the library, resulting in it crashing.

!!Tropes:

* ADayInTheLimelight: After a number of minor appearances, Cooper is much more prominent here and even gets to deliver a ShamingTheMob speech at the episode's climax (which works because nobody wants to cross his uber-rich parents).

* SpoiledBrat: This is the first episode that gives us a clear impression of just ''how'' spoiled Cooper is.
