Louis makes it his mission to teach Eddie how to be a good driver after a police officer makes a comment about Asian drivers. Evan is jealous when he discovers that Grandma has only been inviting Emery to hang out with her at her new apartment.
- Asian Drivers: Trying to avert this trope is the main crux of the Louis/Eddie plot, though Louis ends up being a tad too strict with Eddie's teaching as a result.
- "Just Joking" Justification: While driving Eddie home from a mustard tasting and wondering whether or not to give him personalized driving lessons, Louis notices another car that's overheated and pulls over to help. A cop then approaches Louis and starts interrogating him, assuming he caused an accident; when the other driver corrects him, he plays it off as making a joke and claims he's not actually racist because his mentor is Korean.
- Hypocritical Humor:
- After the cop incident, Louis talks to Jessica about his concern that the Asian Drivers stereotype will affect Eddie, and is aghast at himself for not considering it until now. She points out how he once called Grandma bumping into a table with her wheelchair an "Asian Driver", and how it's easy to make jokes about your own race's stereotypes until you're actually affected by racism.
- In The Tag, Jessica is delighted that Rush Hour wasn't stereotyping Asians badly, and Eddie says she's one to talk after being frugal enough to smuggle food from home.
- The Killjoy: The reason Evan doesn't get invited to Grandma's apartment is because he keeps questioning how implausible her "life stories" are.
- Mistaken for Racist: After Louis's lessons become more strict, Eddie seeks lessons from Marvin instead, and ends up bumping into one of his friends on a bike. When Louis hears the crash and confronts Eddie, Eddie assumes Louis is being hard on him for being just as racist as the cop, rather than just being an overprotective father.
- The Münchausen: Grandma's stories are wildly unrealistic, such as buying a man's freedom with a golden owl that can sing opera.
- Shout-Out: Quite a few references are made to Rush Hour, which is in theatres during the episode's timeframe, due to Jackie Chan's character performing various car stunts.
- Snacksploitation: In The Tag, the Huangs see Rush Hour in theater, followed by them going to the food court and Jessica pulling out a home-cooked meal from her purse.
- Training Montage: Louis puts Eddie through one of these to prepare for his driving lessons, including using a hose to test how fast he can activate the windshield wipers without also losing focus on the road, and making him play Rainbow Road on Mario Kart 64.
