* TheAllegedCar: Tabitha has a host of mechanical problems, including a cracked engine block. Mostly, though, she's actually a moody AI that's upset because of how long it's been since Fargo "rotated her tires, detailed her dash, or gave her a good buffing".



-->'''Jo:''' When was the last time you did anything for her?

her?
* LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain: Fargo and Larry agree never to discuss hugging each other and crying when they thought Tabitha was about to kill them.
-->'''Larry:''' Listen, about that hug...\\
'''Fargo:''' Ooo! What happened in the trunk, stays in the trunk.
* {{Macgyvering}}: Random townspeople - teenagers at first, then adults - build mysterious advanced technology out of odds and ends from town, including a doorbell and Carter's office chair. It turns out to be a bosun field generator to "catch" the spaceship the signal was coming from.
-->'''Allison:''' I don't think that it's possible to build a working plasma generator out of aluminum Christmas trees and duct tape.
* NewTechnologyIsEvil: Played with. Carter has serious doubts about the "smart asphalt" that drives Zoe's car for her, and seems to be proven right when she and other teenagers are "hacked" into building something in their sleep (teenagers' cars were linked in first, as they cause the most accidents). However, turning the asphalt off doesn't help, because the asphalt only amplified the effect, which actually comes from the signal.
* PigLatin: Fargo and Larry briefly talk pig latin Latin when Fargo's car Tabitha holds them hostage.
* ThePreciousPreciousCar: Averted. Much is made of Jo's new car, its advanced features and the bureaucratic nightmare she went through to requisition it, but it survives the episode without a scratch.
-->'''Jo:''' Two hundred and sixty-five horsepower, track-two suspension and four-wheel drive. Totally high performance but completely under my control.\\
'''Carter:''' Kind of like Zane.
* PunkInTheTrunk: Fargo and Larry are kidnapped by Fargo's car, Tabitha, which he sold to Larry. Tabitha kidnaps Fargo reversing up to him at speed with the trunk open, and presumably, Larry's abduction was carried out the same way.
* ShoutOut:
** The title refers to ''Film/FieldOfDreams''. Appropriate given that the plot concerns people building something in a field.
** Carter compares Zoe's sleepwalking state to ''Film/VillageOfTheDamned''.
** Fargo and Larry being kidnapped by Tabitha echoes ''Film/{{Christine}}'', while Tabitha herself has much in common with ''Series/KnightRider''.

Apparently random things go missing all over town, and are found build together to be a plasma generator. Meanwhile, Fargo gets a new car and tries to sell his old one to Larry.
