* MaintainTheLie: Bob and Linda told the kids that the Wheelie Mammoth was donated to a roller rink to help teach orphans how to skate. When they find it for sale at the flea market, they buy it before the kids find it; then, when Louise asks to go see the Mammoth at the roller rink, Linda and Gayle have to drive it to the rink before Bob gets there with the kids and convince the rink manager to play along. The plan actually goes off without a hitch, up until Linda lets it slip that her parents lied to Gayle about her "immortal" goldfish, prompting her to spill the beans.
* PullingTheThread: Louise overhears Linda talk about finding the Wheelie Mammoth and puts her on the spot by asking to go to the roller rink where Linda claims the Mammoth was given to orphans.
* ReplacementGoldfish: A literal example. Al and Gloria kept replacing Gayle's goldfish and never told her. Until Linda told her, Gayle still thought it was immortal and was even sending it birthday cards.
