* BaitAndSwitch: The episode opens with a TimeSkip to Jessica and Louis attending their son's graduation ceremony from Harvard, and most of the episode focuses on Eddie potentially getting into Harvard. However, Eddie fails to get accepted due to his "helicopter parent" mom, and when the scene's revisited at the end, it's revealed that Evan is the graduate. Additionally, during the ceremony, Louis talks about his mother while holding a metal tube that's implied to hold her cremated remains, but it quickly turns out to just be a thermos he shakes up and passes to her.
