7!!Contains examples of:
8
9* AscendedExtra: Despite already being significant characters in the franchise, Edna and Jack-Jack become the main two characters in this short.
10* BabysittingEpisode: The short shows what happened with Edna while she watches Jack Jack so Bob can catch up on some much needed sleep.
11* BadlyBatteredBabysitter: Poor Edna babysits Jack-Jack as his ComboPlatterPowers manifest, all so she can collect research for his new supersuit. She ends up faring much better than his father or [[WesternAnimation/JackJackAttack his previous babysitter]] and actually takes a liking to the baby. Things only go off-course toward the end when she runs out of cookies and triggers Jack Jack's Demon Imp form.
12* TheBerserker: Downplayed in that, as a toddler, his "berserker rage" is throwing a temper tantrum. However, when Edna runs out of cookies for Jack-Jack, he turns into his Demonic Imp form and chases after her, forcing Edna to lock herself in the testing chamber.
13* {{Bookends}}: The first and last scene both feature Bob with Edna and Jack-Jack, with Bob being worried and Edna being excited. The main difference is that Edna is taking Jack-Jack at the beginning and then gives him back to Bob at the end.
14* CallBack: One of the Jack-Jacks was shown tossing objects into Edna's incinerator trash disposal seen [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles1 in the first movie]].
15* ComboPlatterPowers: Like with Kari in ''WesternAnimation/JackJackAttack'', Edna has to deal with Jack-Jack's many powers, so that she can make a supersuit that caters for these powers.
16* ContinuityNod: This short shows what happened with Edna and Jack-Jack after a sleep-deprived Bob dropped him off.
17* ADayInTheLimelight: While a major character in the feature films, Edna gets her chance to shine here.
18* GooGooGodlike: Same powerful baby, different victim. Edna fares better because she knows Jack Jack is a Super. In a light-hearted moment, Edna calls him a "tiny god" as he's showing off his new supersuit, in reference to her line in the first movie "I used to design for gods."
19* MeanwhileScene: This short focuses on what happened with Jack-Jack and Edna at her mansion during the events of ''WesternAnimation/Incredibles2'', with the other Parr family members being absent.
