History Recap / BatmanBeyondS2E21TheEggbaby

* BrawnHilda: Ma Mayhem, again.
* ChosenConceptionPartner: Dana has shades of this towards Terry in this episode. At the episode's beginning, Dana nudges Terry when he doesn't immediately raise his hand upon their teacher asking which of the students is eager in having children someday. At the episode's end, hearing that Terry was the sole parent to get an A has her making an unashamedly lustful expression in his direction, much to his consternation.

* HouseHusband: Nelson takes care of the egg while Max does both of their homework, essentially making Nelson a househusband/stay-at-home dad while Max is the breadwinner.

** Ma Mayhem telling Batman that no one hurts her boys...while stepping on Carl with her heels. And this isn't the only example of her [[SarcasmMode stellar]] parenting.

(''Bruce gives him a DeathGlare'')\\

** Bruce asks Terry how the heck he could be failing Family Studies. This is coming from the guy who never moved past the death of his parents, adopted two kids and let them tag along on his violent and dangerous adventures, ended up estranged from both of them, one of them ended up tortured and traumatized, [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers and]] he's also privately tutored (instead of having ever attended public school), plus he's a playboy and never let himself settle down. Not to mention crimefighting would of course take a toll on your grades...

** When Batman hides the Eggbaby next to some sort of rooftop ventilation, a quick panout of the roof shows the shaft is not perpendicular to the rest of the building (something that Terry fails tor realize). This foreshadows that the vent is not part of the building, and is actually Ma Mayhem's getaway car in disguise.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Of course Terry's grades are in trouble. He spends all his free time beating up criminals. Lampshaded by Bruce.

* BadassBaritone: Amusing Meta example. According to the DVD Commentary, Will Friedle brought his father to this episode's recording session. So Mr. Friedle got to see Kevin Conroy's Bruce Wayne/Batman voice in action. He declared to his son afterward that Conroy might just be the coolest sounding man he'd ever heard.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar:
** When Bruce hears the Eggbaby's crying through the comm-link and asks if Terry brought a baby to the mission, his reaction implies [[TeenPregnancy something]] about where he's assuming the baby came from.
** It turns out that Terry receives the highest grade in class for the project because he not only took care of his Eggbaby but also gave it the most excitement and emotional stimulation. His teacher lauds him as being excellent father material. Terry is at first ecstatic, but then he notices a suggestive grin on Dana's face...
** Carl implies that Ma Mayhem's husband left her for another woman.

* {{Abusive Parent|s}}: Ma Mayhem towards her two sons.
* BabysitterFromHell: Sort of. While Terry does score an A on the assignment due to the amount of excitement and emotional stimulation he gave it, the teacher would likely not be so approving if she knew how it happened.
