8!!Tropes:
9* BaitAndSwitch: After Gumball tosses Darwin's wig aside, it pans to what looks like Leonard Daniels wearing Darwin's wig on his head. Then the camera cuts to the actual Leonard Daniels, holding Darwin's wig.
10--> '''Leonard Daniels''': Look, Bernice! That cat just flung a wig at us.
11* CaughtOnTape: William confesses to stealing several things from the school while he has Gumball and Darwin trapped. [[LittleDidIKnow Little did he know]] that Gumball's flower had a voice recorder inside.
12* ContinuityNod:
13** Joan and Mr. Corneille are still dating after [[Recap/TheAmazingWorldOfGumballS6E8TheCage "The Cage"]].
14** The swimming club reappears for the first time ever since [[Recap/TheAmazingWorldOfGumballS1E28TheClub "The Club"]].
15** The Lost & Found section of the school reappears for the first time since [[Recap/TheAmazingWorldOfGumballS1E32TheCurse "The Curse"]].
16* ADayInTheLimelight: For William and Bobert.
17* FiveSecondForeshadowing: After Banana Bob loses his mustache, Banana Barbara offers to paint him a new one- and she paints an eye on his upper lip. A minute later, William is revealed to be the culprit behind the thefts.
18* FurryReminder:
19** Gumball reminds Darwin that since he's a fish, he doesn't have to worry about drowning. Darwin has to remind Gumball that ''he'' is a cat, which causes him to panic.
20** Once Teri steps into the water, her body starts to fall apart, as she is made of paper.
21* GivenNameReveal: The swim team scene comes with oepning credits, which reveal that Jodie's surname is Mallard.
22* LaserGuidedKarma: [[MindOverMatter William]] stole stuff from Elmore Junior High. The episode ends with him [[DownplayedTrope getting detention at school]].
23* ReminderOfImpossibility: Bobert is able to steer Gumball and Darwin out of the sewer just fine, despite not having his arms. Once Darwin asks how Bobert is steering without his arms, Bobert immediately begins to spin out of control.
24* RunningGag: Gumball's [[BondOneLiner Bond One-Liners]]. {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d by Darwin.
25--> '''Gumball''': [Imitating Creator/SeanConnery] Well, they will give him some... odd jobs.\
26'''Darwin''': This is how it's going to be, isn't it.\
27'''Gumball''': That's what secret agents do, right? Make light quips after horrific workplace accidents!
28* RunningGagged: Eventually, ''Bobert'' (of all people) has enough of Gumball's quips.
29--> '''Gumball''': Look! There goes the stolen stuff! We better go after it!\
30'''Darwin''': What about Bobert?\
31'''Gumball''': Oh, he seems... 'armless enough. [...] Maybe we should lend him a-\
32'''Bobert''': Just go and find my arms, please.
33* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: William only began stealing everything because he took offense to Gumball's usual insensitive social commentary on the other students at the swimming pool in gym class. Gumball never catches on that he started the whole plot.
34* WholePlotReference: The entire episode is a homage to the ''Franchise/JamesBond'' franchise, and is laden with references to its most famous moments: for example, the introduction to the swim club flashback is a pastiche of the opening sequence of ''Film/{{Thunderball}}''.
35* WholesomeCrossdresser: Darwin ends up wearing a wig, a pantsuit and high heels.
