* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Miss Finster catches Gretchen and T.J. in chewing gum. She punishes Gretchen by putting her in garbage detail for the rest of the week, but T.J. avoids punishment by revealing a dentist's card that he held in his hat and that the gum is prescribed by his dentist due to early stages of gingivitis. Knowing how dangerous gingivitis is (as it has done to her own teeth), Finster is permissive enough to let T.J. continue chew his gum. Once Finster leaves, T.J. revealed to his friends it was just a clever ruse that he planned up as an excuse to chew gum.

* BothSidesHaveAPoint: Sans TJ himself, the Recess Gang tries to convince Gretchen to give TJ a chance being her partner and to accept he just has his own way of doing things. However, his causing Gretchen to fail the project leads TJ to realize it's not enough breezing through life: he actually has to ''put in the effort''. In the end, he applies both aspects of his work ethic: he does the project on his own term, but he also applies himself.
