* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Jeremy Quinn had made it clear that he only wanted Albert as a glorified farmhand, but when he gives up on him after being tricked by Albert into thinking his son was blind and unable to help with farmwork, he makes a front about having second thoughts and deciding that Albert would be better off with the Ingalls family. But when Charles questions how he can know that he won't change his mind and try to take Albert away again, Jeremy callously declares that "just like your son, you'll never see me again", mocking Albert's "blindness" and showing that he doesn't care about Albert at all.
* ObfuscatingDisability: When Albert's biological father Jeremy shows up to contest the Ingalls' adoption petition, Albert -- rather than simply state he'd be happier living with his adoptive family -- pretends to be blind (which works perfectly, as it's clear that Jeremy only wants Albert as a glorified farmhand).
* OrphanageOfFear: Albert has flashbacks of his time at the orphanage he ran away from, where he's shown being phyically and emotionally abused by the people in charge.
* TraumaButton: When Albert witnesses his friend being spanked by his father, he starts having flashbacks from when the tutor at the orphanage hit him to teach him discipline.
