Mindy and Carrot Bake
While attempting to buy ingredients for baking, Mindy and Carrot get stranded in space.- A Day in the Limelight: For both Mindy and Carrot.
- Bait-and-Switch: The episode is less about Mindy and Carrot baking and is more about them getting lost in outer space.
- Bizarre Taste in Food: All this time, Carrot has been putting snow in his cakes instead of sugar.
- Breaking the Fourth Wall: There's an extremely meta line in the episode: When Mindy and Carrot are stuck in space, they try to call Face 9000 for help, but they find out he's on vacation, which explains his overall absence from the show as of late season 1 and early season 2.
- Cannot Keep a Secret: Carrot wants to bake something as a surprise for Jet. He announces this plan in Jet's presence.
- Circling Birdies: After Carrot gets dizzy from spinning, there is a chirping bird noise that is associated with this trope, though there are no birds present.
- Continuity Nod:
- Carrot wants to throw things together instead of follow a recipe, like Jet did in "Jet Cooks Dinner."
- The saucer has a new dashboard which makes things go out of whack, as in "Sunday Drive." And just like in that episode, Face 9000 is conveniently away.
- Dance Party Ending: The episode ends with Jet, Mindy, Carrot, and Sunspot having a very surreal dance party.
- Delayed Reaction: "Wow, cool, we're in space...wait, what, we're in space?!?"
- Dramatic Irony: Jet thinks that Mindy and Carrot stayed home and relaxed all day, unaware that they went to space.
- Gratuitous Disco Sequence: One of the buttons on the control panel plays disco music with accompanying lights, resulting in a random moment where Carrot dances upside down.
- Hologram: Sunspot is shown using holograms to take online classes.
- Loud Gulp: Carrot does one when he tries to use the new dashboard.
- Malaproper: Mindy calls Enceladus 'Enchiladas.'
- Spectacular Spinning: One of the buttons on the new control panel spins the saucer around.
- Tempting Fate: Mindy is sure that going to the supermarket will take a second. Then Mindy and Carrot end up in space.
- What Would X Do?: While they're stuck in space and trying to figure out the control panel, Carrot tries to think like how Celery would, and Mindy tries to act like Jet.
- Wiper Start: When Carrot tries to drive the car, he accidentally starts the windshield wipers.
- Written-In Absence: Sean, Sydney, and Celery are not in this episode. Jet explains this away by saying that they're going to the science museum.
Commander Cressida Begins
Mindy is unsure where to go next in space, so she and Sydney take a look at the first Commander Cressida comic issue.- A Day in the Limelight: The episode mostly revolves around Sydney and Mindy. Jet and Sean do appear, but they have non-speaking cameos.
- Art Shift: A comic-book art style, and some 2D animation, are used when Sydney and Mindy are reading comics.
- Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs: When Mindy is trying to pick where to explore in space next.Mindy: I guess, a planet. No, a moon. No, a planet with a moon?
- Call-Back: The moon Io is compared to pizza, just like it was in "So Many Moons."
- Conveniently Interrupted Document: Dr. Skelley loans the first issue of the Commander Cressida comics to Sydney. When Sydney and Mindy read it, they discover that the final few pages are missing. They decide to make and draw their own ending to the story.
- The Ditherer: The episode explores Mindy's indecisiveness on where to go next in space. Luckily, she learns that just like Commander Cressida, she can explore space one adventure at a time.

- Faint in Shock: Sunspot faints when the gang finds out that the ending pages to the comic are missing.

- Group Hug: Sydney, Mindy, Sunspot, and Dr. Skelley share a group hug at the end of the episode.
- Knuckle Cracking: Sunspot does this while playing checkers with Mindy.
- My Friends... and Zoidberg: After Mindy and Sydney ask Celery to take them to space, Celery exclaims "Girls trip!" After Sunspot gets annoyed, Celery changes it to "Girls and Sunspot trip!"
- Origins Episode: In a way, this episode acts as one for the In-Universe fictional character. Sydney and Mindy read the first-ever issue of the comics, where they see how Cressida used to be a farm girl in Indiana and how she built a rocket and became a commander.
- Out of Focus: Jet, the main character of the show, is reduced to a non-speaking cameo, making it the smallest role he has ever had in an episode.
- Super-Hearing: Celery's excellent hearing is brought up once again.
