* GossipEvolution: The rumors about Sue Ellen bloom on the telephone calls until Binky tells them all he can't understand what they're saying. Prunella thinks that Sue Ellen's from a family of cat burglars, Arthur believes that she is a spy, and Buster assumes she is an alien.
* MemeticBadass: In-universe, Prunella and Arthur both imagine this of Sue Ellen:
** Prunella thinks that she's a cat burglar who has robbed the Louvre of all their paintings. The ImagineSpot shows her avoiding two security guards and outwitting them. When one tries to hold her up with a croissant, she uses rocket boots to blast through the roof windows and to her getaway jet.
** Arthur proposes that Sue Ellen is a preteen spy that stole an important disk from a computer scientist, holding his computer hostage with a pot of coffee. When she gets what she wants, she destroys the computer anyway, surrenders the disk to her bosses while driving a car, and decides she can go to Elwood City to lie low. Though she can't pronounce the name of her home country.

[[AC: Sue Ellen Moves in]]
* Arthur goes around the neighborhood, noting who has and hasn't been friends. When they all go sledding, they notice a new family moving into down. Buster becomes convinced aliens are involved when the lights go on and off at random, but no one seems to be inside. He has to figure out what to do when the new girl is joining their class, especially when Bitsy invites her family to dinner.
!! Tropes for this episode include:
* DoingInTheWizard: Francine points out that some houses run on timers. Therefore, the "invisible" people aren't there. Buster says thinking like that gets Earth conquered.
* GossipEvolution: The rumors about Sue Ellen bloom on the telephone calls until Binky tells them all he can't understand what they're saying. Prunella thinks that
* MundaneSolution: It turns out Bitsy figured out who Sue Ellen was by doing one simple thing: talking to her family.
* NiceGirl: Sue Ellen is very nice to Buster and Arthur when introducing herself. She also invites Buster out for hot dogs at the end,
* SkewedPriorities: When Buster has an ImagineSpot of Sue Ellen and her family sending him to space in a bubble, he says he wishes he had grabbed some cookies first.
* VitriolicBestBuds: According to Arthur, Brain and Binky have this relationship. Binky will destroy Brain's art ForTheLulz, but Brain has the grace to laugh about it.

[[AC: The Perfect Brother]]
* Arthur likes having friends over because they make home life better. He's thrilled about learning the Brain is staying for a few days, being a brother he's never had. Unfortunately, the good feelings go away when Brain is revealed to be neat, polite to the Reads, and proactive about homework.
!! Tropes for this episode include:
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Arthur and Brain share a smile when they realize that neither of them is perfect, and it's okay to be jealous of your friend.
* AnAesop: No one is perfect all the time. They are also still your friend.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Arthur gradually becomes jealous of how the Brain can win everyone else over and seems to be perfect. He finds out that Brain was just being polite as a guest -- at his own house, he is messy and doesn't get the door for his father when Arthur does.
* BigBrotherBully: Invoked. D.W. has an ImagineSpot that Brain will be another Arthur and corner her to wrap her up like a mummy. She thinks about spending the weekend at Grandma's. Ironically, she says she likes Brain better.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Arthur has an ImagineSpot of Brain building a time machine that only goes backward rather than forwards. Cue them ending up in the time of the dinosaurs, far away from home. Arthur snaps out of it quickly.
* GreenEyedMonster: Arthur despite himself becomes jealous at how much his family likes Brain.
* HiddenDepths: It's revealed Brain is also a good basketball player, model plane enthusiast, and storyteller.
