- Unintentionally Sympathetic: The episode spends a lot of time making the point that Moe is a more attentive father figure to Maggie than Homer is, starting with the newspaper headline covering the incident, "BABY SAVED BY LOCAL HERO, NOT FATHER." While Maggie flying through the air was technically Homer's fault for speeding in traffic and then braking suddenly (Homer's and a terrible baby-seat latch), he ran as fast as he could through heavy traffic and only narrowly missed grabbing her before she plummeted; Moe caught her by accident because he was in the right place at the right time, after which Homer graciously thanked him for doing what he couldn't.
