[[AC:I Am Ruth Bader Ginsburg]]
* Ruth gives her ice cream to the kids at the orphanage. On her birthday. In other words, she spent her birthday giving to others.
* Yadina thinks it isn't fair that Xavier gets to have a translator and she doesn't, especially since ''she'' always has to remind him to use it.

* At the end of the episode, the trio acknowledges the work Ruth also did for disability rights and same-sex marriage.

* Berby can be heard beeping "I love you". ''Awwww''.

[[AC:I Am Fred Rogers]]
* This episode is ''made'' of heartwarming.
* It is shown that Creator/FredRogers didn't have many friends growing up, but Xavier, Yadina, and Brad all like him just the way he is (hang tight, you're gonna hear this phrase a lot here).
* Fred also likes the trio just how they are. Xavier confesses that he thinks Brad wouldn't want to be his friend anymore if the Secret Museum is closed, and he feels like the Secret Museum is the only thing that makes him special. Fred assures him that Xavier is kind, funny, and a great brother and friend. He's not exactly sure what the Secret Museum is, but he knows that Xavier is a great person with or without it.
* Fast-forward to 1971, when Fred is finally hosting ''Series/MisterRogersNeighborhood''. He takes the time to sing "It's You I Like", a beautiful song about how you are special just the way you are.
** One of the kids shown watching the song just happens to be Jeff Erlanger, who appeared on the show to talk about his electric wheelchair. Talk about a tribute.
* Xavier finally confesses to Brad and Yadina that he doesn't feel special without the Secret Museum. Brad tells him that he's done so much good -- he's funny, smart, a great friend, and helped to boost his self-esteem. Cue a GroupHug.
* At the end of the episode, the trio sings "It's You I Like" over a ContinuityCavalcade of clips from Season 1, specifically "I Am Madam President", "I Am Charles Dickens", "I Am Mary Anning", "I Am Leonardo da Vinci", "I Am Rosa Parks", "We Are the Bronte Sisters", "I Am Neil Armstrong", "We Are the Wright Brothers", "I Am Mary Leakey", and "I Am Marie Curie".

* Brad's delight at finally being able to time-travel ''without'' getting dizzy or sick. Apparently, it's only travel to the past that disorients him.
