-->'''Bernard:''' Hey now, my eyes aren't ''that'' bad.

* {{Irony}}: When Craig thought of giving one of his two friends a spare key to his house, he chose Kelsey over JP because he thought she would be more responsible with it. Turns out Kelsey's key is unavailable because the box she locked it in can't be opened because she also locked the key to it inside. After their car is totaled getting Jessica's spare key, the Williams kids end up being rescued by JP and Laura, who happened to have a spare key the whole time, meaning the kid Craig thought would be the most reliable wasn't and vice-versa.
** Although, JP claims to use the key to go in and out of the Williams' house at his leisure, so he's not ''that'' responsible.

* TheKeyIsBehindTheLock. Becomes something of a RunningGag. First, Jessica locks the car keys in the car. Then Bernard left the spare car keys inside the house and Craig locked the door before he could get them. Then they go to Alexis to get her spare key, but it got passed around the other teens until Gibson left it back at the Williams home. Next, they go to Kelsey, who put her spare inside the “Impenetrable Chest of Keys”, along with the key to the lock for the chest.
