"Lady De-Clutter" provides examples of:
- Accidental Hero: While trying to get his toy screwdriver back from Lady De-Clutter, he ends up exposing her as a con who takes other people's belongings to sell them on the internet, getting her arrested as a result.
- Engineered Public Confession: Amidst the chaos, Tommy accidentally loses his toy screwdriver, and it ends up in Lady De-Clutter's possession, so he goes into her truck to get it back, using a pair of baby monitors as a pair of walkie-talkies so he can communicate with his friends. While onboard the truck, the grownups discover (via the baby monitors) that Lady De-Clutter's actually a con artist. When Lady De-Clutter calls someone on her cell phone telling them this, which Didi and the other adults happen to overhear—the kids' parents ultimately have Lady De-Clutter arrested and get their things back.
- Fictional Video Game: This episode has Stu playing a game called Doorstop, which is about a hotel concierge going through a seemingly infinite hall of doors.
- Gone Horribly Right: Didi hires Lady De-Clutter to help de-clutter and organize the house. However, Lady De-Clutter ends up taking a lot more than Didi had intended, including stuff that she and the rest of her family still need and/or want to keep (like Didi's supplies for her arts-and-crafts projects, Stu's video games and even the family's toaster). It's fortunate that they ended up getting their things back after Lady De-Clutter was arrested.
- Mythology Gag: When Didi first tells Stu about Lady De-clutter, Tommy takes off his diaper and tosses it out of the playpen, much like he did in "Naked Tommy" from the original 1991 series.
- Trouser Space: When the babies look for places to hide Tommy's toys from Lady De-Clutter, Phil stuffs Teddy in his diaper.Phil: Sorry, Teddy. Hold your nose!
"New Puppy" provides examples of:
- "Eureka!" Moment: When Angelica gets angry at the babies for letting Foster drool on Cynthia, saying that if he doesn't stop doing bad things, Stu and Didi will send him away, this gives the babies the idea to frame Foster for bad behavior so he can be sent away.
- Food as Bribe: Phil bribes Angelica with the cookies that he had taken earlier to frame Foster so that she can help him and his friends get Foster sent away.
- Gone Horribly Right: The babies try to frame Foster for bad behavior so he can get sent away, but their plans backfire and make Stu, Didi, and Lou more fond of Foster. When Chuckie pees in the kitchen, Stu sees the mess and blames himself for not walking Foster. When the babies scatter Didi's yarn across the yard, Didi finds Foster playing with it cute. When Phil takes Lou's cookies, Lou thinks that Foster has an amazing sense of taste.
- Manchild: Stu. He gets attached to Foster the way a little kid would. At the end of the episode, Stu is more upset over Foster living with the Carmichaels than the babies are.
- Mouth Cam: Used when Angelica eats one of the cookies that Phil paid her to help them get rid of Foster.
- The Unfavorite: Tommy worries that Spike will become this when Stu and Didi permanently adopt Foster and get rid of Spike, due to the former getting more attention than the latter.
- Urine Trouble: Invoked; Chuckie deliberately pees on the kitchen floor to frame Foster so that Tommy's parents will send him away. The plan backfires because when Stu sees the mess, he blames himself for not taking Foster for a walk.
