7Sunspot is behaving rather strangely. As it turns out, the sunspots on the sun affect his behavior.
8----
9* ADayInTheLimelight: Sunspot is the focus of this episode.
10* TheCameo: Mitchell makes a cameo in this episode, for no real reason.
11* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: While Sunspot usually acts weird, he acts even ''weirder'' in this episode.
12* {{Gasp}}: When Sunspot says "No, thank you", all the kids do a dramatic gasp.
13* GratuitousFrench: Celery says "''Bon appetit'', as the French Earthies say".
14* MeaningfulName: This episode reveals that Sunspot gets his name from the sunspots on the sun, as well as the fact that the spot on his tummy looks like a sun.
15* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: While the kids are concerned about Sunspot's weird behavior, what really shocks them is when Sunspot refuses to eat a hoagie.
16* OutOfCharacter: Sunspot doesn't act like his usual self throughout the episode. This is justified though, as Sunspot acts strange whenever there's a huge sunspot on the sun.
17* OverlyLongTongue: This episode shows that Sunspot's tongue is very long.
18* PowerGlows: Due to the sun's effects on him, Sunspot's tummy glows throughout the episode.
19* ReflectiveEyes: Sunspot gets these eyes when he sees the sun.
20* ShellGame: A cup game wherein a tangerine is hidden under one of the cups is used to see if Sunspot is feeling okay. Him getting it wrong is a sign that he is not his usual self.
21* ShoutOut:
22** Jet says "Set the controls for the heart of the sun!", which is a reference to the Music/PinkFloyd song "Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun".
23** When Mindy says "Round and round she goes, where she stops, nobody knows!" is a reference to ''The Original Amateur Hour''.
24* SickEpisode: Sunspot's weird behavior is treated as an illness.
25* SnakeCharmer: Carrot plays some typical snake charming music, and Sunspot's tongue wiggles like a snake.
26* SuddenlyVoiced: Sunspot had never said anything before, but in this episode, he says "No, thank you" and "I ''am'' lovable, aren't I?".
27* WhamEpisode: This episode reveals that Sunspot has a connection to the sunspots on the sun, and when under its influence, ''he can speak''.
28* WhamLine: "No, thank you" and "I ''am'' lovable, aren't I?", both spoken by Sunspot.

34Mindy is having a sleepover with Lillian and wants to sleep outside under the stars, but it's January and thus much too cold to do so. Mindy has to re-learn that since the sun is a star, she is technically under a star all the time.
35----
36* AgentScully: Mitchell isn't convinced that there are other suns in the universe. Mindy was also this at first, but eventually learned that our sun is, well, a star.
37* BinocularShot: Used in this episode by Mitchell.
38* CharacterCheck: Even though Mitchell has been [[TookALevelInKindness taking a level in kindness]] in Season 2, in this episode, he's just as mean as he was in Season 1. However, this episode takes place in January, and Mr. Peterson is shown taking down Christmas decorations, so it's possible that this episode could have taken place ''after'' "Holidays in Boxwood Terrace", where Mitchell becomes part of the group. That episode was one of the very last Season 1 episodes, and Mitchell didn't start becoming nicer until "Try and Try Again", a Season 2 episode.
39* CoolShades: Dr. Rafferty gives the kids some colored sunglasses to wear so they can see what it's like to live on a planet with a different colored sun. Jet has a little ''too much'' fun with it, much to Mitchell's annoyance.
40* DontTryThisAtHome: When Dr. Rafferty conducts her experiment with the campfire and poker, she warns the kids to not try the experiment at home.
41* {{Fainting}}: Mitchell faints when Sunspot gets up close to him.
42* IdiotBall: Mindy grabs the idiot ball in this episode. In "How We Found Your Sun", she learned that the sun is a star, but in this episode, she's somehow convinced that the sun ''isn't'' a star.
43* {{Pun}}: When Jet lifts his sunglasses up and down so it appears that Mitchell is turning orange and then back to his normal color, he says this: "''Orange'' you glad you're not permanently orange?".
44* SeriesContinuityError: In "How We Found Your Sun", Mindy learned that the sun is a star, but in this episode, she doesn't think that the sun is a star.
45* ShoutOut: The Arm & Hammer baking powder parody appears again.
46* ShowWithinAShow: ''Hilda Horse's First Sleepover'', the book that Mindy's mom was going to read to her and Lillian.
47* ShyFingerTwiddling: Sean does this at one point.
