Added DiffLines:

* MomentKiller: Alice dampens the elation of Sal's mothers cheering his achievement in non-verbally communicating his wants to them by describing how putting unrealistic expectations on him that don't respect the limits of his disability may lead to him growing up to resent them. This naturally completely kills the mood and also quashes any potential romantic feelings from Sal's uncle.


Added DiffLines:

* PsychologicalProjection: Alice has a strained relationship with her mother, who ignores the limitations of her disability and sends her what she believes are inspiring posters to overcome it with positivity. When Sal's mothers cheer him for communicating with them, Alice under Hate Worm Rochelle's influence is reminded of her own mother's behavior and essentially discourages their encouragement for fear of going the same route.

Added DiffLines:

Lionel throws his own party when he isn't invited to Mona's. Petra helps a nonverbal child get the toy truck he desperately wants.

!!Tropes:
* CallBack: We actually see Mona's very sick grandmother, who was mentioned in the ''Big Mouth'' episode "The Hugest Period Ever."
* CantHoldTheirLiquor: Tequila quickly gets to Lionel because [[JustifiedTrope he only weighs 93 kilos]].
* FoodSlap: Maury buys extra lunches ''just'' so he can slap them in Lionel's face.
* ForgotICouldFly: Tito bails on Lionel's party because she doesn't like driving at night. This confuses Montel, because Tito has wings.
* {{Portmanteau}}: Connie calls the party at Lionel's church a "charty."
* SeriousBusiness: Petra's newest mission is to... get a four-year-old the toy truck he wants. Nevertheless, she dedicates herself to it as fiercely as her adult clients' goals.
* ShoddyShindig: Lionel's party is so pathetic, not only do the other loser monsters bail, he attracts Schmitty from Pity, who offers to help him drown his sorrows with tequila.
* StartMyOwn: The "loser" monsters (Lionel, Kitty, Cat, Tito, and Montel) start their own party when they aren't invited to Mona's. Ironically, the monsters end up crashing his party when Mona's place goes up in flames.
* WaxingLyrical: Subverted -- when Mona's house catches on fire, Connie chants, "The roof! The roof! The roof is ''ablaze''!" rather than the obvious lyric.
