Aron Price, a scheming teenage who just got out of reform school, discovers that his stepbrother, Dwayne, is a bang baby with the power to create things and begins using him to commit crimes.
Tropes for this episode include:
- Bad Samaritan: Aron not only pretends he wants to hang out with Dwayne so he can manipulate him to do whatever he wants, he even deceives him to believe thier heists are for the greater good of repaying people who were wronged by those places.
- Berserk Button: When Virgil tries to reason with Dwayne that Aron is a bad influence who is just using the boy, Dwayne gets very defensive, claiming his stepbrother would never lie to him.
- Engineered Public Confession: Virgil and Richie have the right idea when they decide this trope's the only way to convince Dwayne that his stepbrother is exploiting him. With a recorder planted, Virgil strikes up a conversation with Aron and invites him to a party that Dwayne can't attend. Aron coldly agrees to come by himself, even voicing that he neither likes Dwayne nor views him as his brother. Later, Static uses the recording to reveal to Dwayne how Aron really feels about him.
- Establishing Character Moment: Upon seeing Aron has returned from Juvie Hall, Virgil decides to welcome him back. Aron's response is to coldly shut his locker without acknowledging Virgil. If nothing, it does tell the audience he's a rather cold and anti-social character.
- Freudian Slip: When Aron complains that he wishes he had been at the Big Bang, Dwayne eagerly describes what it's like before he goes quiet. It doesn't instantly tell Aron his step-brother is a bang baby, but it does clue him in.
- Horrible Judge of Character: Dwayne looks up to his stepbrother Aron as a real brother, despite the latter's indifference and cold insistence that they are only stepbrothers. And when Aron learns about his reality-warping powers, it never crosses Dwayne's mind that the only reason he wants to hang out with him all of a sudden is to use him to get what he wants. He gets better after he learns the truth.
- Not So Above It All: The street preacher in the beginning momentarily drops his Holier Than Thou air to help himself to the fountain's cherry soda, complete with a satisfied burp.
- Properly Paranoid: When Robert is telling Virgil and Richie about Dwayne and Aron's whereabouts, he correctly mentions how he doesn’t believe that Aron is a good influence on Dwayne.
