* BreakingTheCycleOfBadParenting: At least from Greg's perspective: Greg's parents were mentioned to be very strict when raising him. In contrast, Greg gave Steven much more freedom. However, Greg's much more loose parenting ended up creating a whole different set of problems for his child.
* BrokenPedestal: Steven becomes disillusioned with Greg when he learns that his life's worth of traumatic events could be traced back to Greg running away from home as a 20-year-old because he didn't appreciate a stable and average (if monotonous) life in the suburbs. It's even topped off by Steven deleting Greg's yearbook photo from his phone.

* GenerationalTrauma: A recurring theme in the series is unresolved emotional baggage being taken out on one's family, particularly those they raise. Here, an older Steven learns that his father is estranged from his own parents, having resented their stifling upbringing and going his own way as a musician. Greg thus raised Steven in a loose manner where his son could do anything he wanted, not having to attend school or visit the doctor or other responsibilities distracting from his Gem heritage. However, Steven resents this discovery as he feels he was robbed of the chance to live a normal life instead of one constantly in peril from Gem threats.
* GenreDeconstruction: While much of the series had glossed over Greg's [[OpenMindedParent laissez-faire presence in his son's life]] in favor of SliceOfLife shenanigans and ScienceFantasy adventures, here it is discussed to have had a negative impact on his son's mental well-being and way of life in the long term. When Steven sees how Greg's life was before he met his mom - boring, but otherwise safe and stable - he is quick to resent his dad for [[ManChild continuing to act like a rebellious teenager]] while he himself had been forced to grow up in the face of monsters, invading Gems, and the sins of his mother.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Steven berates Greg for never introducing him to his grandparents and for putting his own free spirited nature over attempting to provide Steven with a stable and normal childhood.

* TragicallyMissingThePoint:
** When Steven realizes he’s in Greg’s old room he instantly gushes seeing all his old childhood stuff (since he didn’t get much of that personally) to the point that he more or less tunes out what Greg is saying about how miserable he was. Clearly shown when Steven sees a picture of his dad’s highschool graduation and happily comments on his hair being short, not noticing his dad’s unhappy expression.
** Greg sees Steven calling him out as progress since he could never speak to his parents like that. Not realizing the full depths of what his son yelled at him about. As a result Steven looses a lot of respect for him.

* StatingTheSimpleSolution: After Greg finds the CD he was looking for in his old room, he tries to exit out the window the same way he and Steven came in. Steven asks [[ThereWasADoor if they could just go out the front door instead]], with Greg apologizing since going out the window was an old habit of his.
