* BrokenAesop: In one episode they want to act out a story, and they find a fairy tale in a book where the accompanying illustration shows the main characters with light skin and blonde hair. Kiki, Leon, Skye, and Julie collectively decided that since only Ben & Jody look like that, those two are the only options to play the main characters. This makes them sad until they all decide to go find tales and myths from cultures that match their ethnicity. But it never mentioned that the parts didn't ''have'' to go to Ben & Jody and that it would be fine for any of the kids to play the Prince and Princess in a fairy tale. The Aesop came across looking more like a repudiation of the BlackVikings trope - telling kids that they should only ever act as someone of their own race on stage, and that people of color can't play leads in fairy tales of European origin.

In "Deck the Halls," there's also a [[LesYay Julie/Kiki]] moment where Julie gives Kiki "love" as a metaphorical Christmas gift and Kiki kisses her cheek.
