* MatureYoungerSibling: Louise views herself as this to Gene, to the point she can't properly view him as her older brother. Subverted when Gene initially suggests that dropping a cantaloupe off the fire escape would be a bad idea (though Louise convinces him to go along with it), when he tries to stop her from dropping it on the teens, and when he takes the Stink-Hold for Louise.

*{{Irony}}: With a dose of hypocrisy to boot. Louise comments about Gene's lack of maturity considering he's her older brother. Even before Gene proves his BigBrotherInstinct by saving Louise from Logan, the episode's main conflict starts from Louise acting extremely immaturely and ignoring Gene's more rational suggestions (such as not throwing the melon and apologizing to Logan).
