* ConflictBall: The catalyst for this episode is that Bart is jealous of Lisa and Maggie's sisterly bond and wants a brother, as he feels lonely when the two play games together. While their genders have often provided some conflict, Bart and Lisa far more frequently spend time together than Lisa and Maggie do due to being closer in age and more prominent in the series overall, and thus have a stronger (albeit strained) bond. This makes Lisa teasing Bart that she'll grow up to bond more closely with Maggie harder to believe.

* PingPongNaivete: This time, Bart pretty much understands how sex works despite Homer never having told him about it ([[NegativeContinuity he got the talk from Homer five seasons ago, was flabbergasted and upset, and reverted to cluelessness in the interim]]) but is unaware of birth control (once he's told about it he tries to replace Marge's with candy...something he's in fact done before, as a prank on Mrs. Krabappel, though in that case he very well might not have understood what kind of medication he was tampering with). Even he's not totally confident in his knowledge:
