* TheMcCoy: Indy displays shades of this, especially when contrasted with his emotionally cold father.



* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: The previously idealistic Ned does not take kindly to Indy's support for what President Wilson is trying to achieve. Arnold Toynbee and Gertrude Bell provide a more overtly cynical countrast to the more idealistic Indy. Ned later sees his hopes for an independent Arab nation dashed by the machinations of Clemenceau and Lloyd George, and Indy is later disillusioned by the poor treatment of the Vietnamese delegation. After Indy returns to Princeton, Henry Snr. adds a further dose of realism by stating that the League of Nations cannot possibly work because Congress will never agree to the USA joining it (which is what happened).
* YoungFutureFamousPeople: As stated above, the waiter is Ho Chi Minh, who would have been 29 at the time and did indeed work as a chef and occasional waiter while beginning to show an interest in politics.

* CallForward: The strained interactions between Indy and Henry Snr. inevitably put the viewer in mind of ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade'', which is when they finally reconcile. In particular, Henry Snr.'s angry reaction to Indy's decision to go and study at the University of Chicago rather than stay in Princeton brings to mind his comment in the film that Indy left just when he was becoming interesting.



* DownerEnding: The episode ends with Indy leaving Princetown with his relationship with his father in tatters.



* ForegoneConclusion: Since it will be apparent to anyone who's familiar with ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade'' that Indy and Henry Snr. had been estranged for some time prior to the events of that film, it must be obvious that they're not going to get along here.

It is 1919. Indy is working as a translator for the American delegation at the Versaille peace conference, where President Wilson's idealistic vision of a future without war falters against the realities of diplomacy. Indy meets up again with his old friend UsefulNotes/TELawrence, who introduces him to the historian Arnold Toynbee, who prophetically warns that the French government's desire to punish Germany will lead to a future world war.

By the time they are doing rocket launches in the park, he's even addressing him as "Indy".

Disheartened, Indy returns to the USA on an ocean liner where he meets Amy, a beautiful young woman. Back in Princeton, Indy meets his old friend Paul Robeson. The two go to New York where they encounter racial prejudice directed against Robeson. Indy's frustrations is compounded by the frosty reception his father gives him when they are reunited.
