* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: Nicholas when he gets chosen to appear on a ''Series/DoubleDare''-like show called "Trash TV" and is congratulated by everyone at school. Fame gets to his head, and soon he's treating his friends and family (including [=McGee=]) like crap. In the end, [[BreakTheHaughty he gets a big helping of humble pie]] ([[PieInTheFace along with many other flavors of pie]]) when his opponent [[CurbStompBattle wipes the floor with him]] on the show.

** The same episode features Renee reuniting with her divorced father (Renee lives with her mother) who spends the whole episode trying to give her advice about the roller coaster that's the teen years, much to her annoyance since she just wants to spend time with him (and it doesn't help that mountain climbing wouldn't have been her first choice for a vacation anyway). Finally she tells him to stop and he starts going on about how he's going to get so little time with her and there's so much he wants to teach her; [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming she replies "Daddy, you don't have to spend so much time teaching me about all of the 'don't's because you spend so much time teaching me all the right 'do's."]]

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Jordan in the final three episodes (''The New Adventures'') is a replacement for Nick's friend Louis. In fact, the two characters were played by real-life brothers Sonny and Brent Kelly. Despite Louis' absence, Nick does briefly speak to him on the phone in the final episode. In a possible example of LampshadeHanging, Nick ends their conversation with "Sorry about the mix-up."

* AsTheGoodBookSays: Most of the episodes opened with Nicholas reading a passage in TheBible that usually wound up relating to the episode in some way.

* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Nicholas sometimes acts like this towards his older sister, Sarah. Their younger sibling, Jamie, on the other hand, is a relatively well-behaved kid who looks up to them both.

* DoNotDoTheCoolThing: The entire premise of "The Not-So-Great Escape", when Nick sneaks out to see a new horror movie all of his friends are going to see against his parents' wishes. It turns out to be nothing like he thought it would be and is visibly disturbed by what he just saw as he walks home. By the time he faces his parents, he admits that it was a horrible experience and vows not to let himself be willingly exposed to such things again.

** "The Blunder Years" starts with Nick's antics about trying to get accepted by the cool kids being funny, if considering ill-advised by [=McGee=], but they escalate into him [[PlotMandatedFriendshipFailure breaking off his friendship with [=McGee=] (after having damaged his relationship with most of his other friends)]], insulting his parents and standing by when the cool kids' leader decides to have a laugh by scribbling insults on Phillip's locker.

Louis helps Nicholas sneak out to see the movie, but while Louis enjoys it, Nicholas ends up not enjoying the movie, and his parents give him a talk about it after they find out.

* BaseballEpisode: "Take Me Out of the Ball Game". Nick seems to begin trust of the members of the rival baseball team, but must learn that the only word he needs to trust is that of God.
