Tropes

  • Blatant Lies:
    • Eddie trying to pass off Evans's tooth as a shark tooth. He gets called out for it.
    • Louis tries to pass off a steakhouse reservation as identity fraud.
  • Both Sides Have a Point: Louis and Jessica's arguments about whether or not she should try to relax. Louis says he takes off a few days a week to recharge for the year, and Jessica points out that she never gets to take a day off from running the family.
  • Chekhov's Gun: Evan's baby tooth. Jessica uses it to fake an accident at the hotel pool
  • Cool Old Lady: Eddie's grandmother has a great time on the Gatorland roller coasters and getting braids by the pool.
  • Hard Work Hardly Works: Averted; Eddie nearly gets busted for not doing anything all summer and trying to lie about it, but Nicole then saves his hide by coming to him and calling him cool.
  • No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Louis helping Jessica relax (somehow) leads to them receiving an extremely high hotel bill.
  • Pet the Dog: Nicole talking to Eddie and saying they were friends at the start of seventh grade.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Just as Eddie's about to get on the Gatorland roller coaster, he sees a kid getting wheeled out in a stretcher who was revived. Twice. That's enough for Eddie to bail.
  • Vetinari Job Security: Jessica has this as the mom in the family, given she keeps the expenses down.
