!!So Many Moons
Mindy is worried about getting a baby sibling. Jet compares it to Jupiter having 67 kids -- that is to say, 67 moons. [[note]][[ScienceMarchesOn Now outdated as of 2022, as Jupiter now has 80 confirmed satellites.]][[/note]]
----
* AbortedArc: Mindy mentions that her parents are thinking about having another baby. This could have set up an arc about Mindy preparing to be a big sister, but this was subsequently dropped and forgotten about after this episode. So you could say that [[BlackComedy they literally aborted the baby arc]].
* CharacterDevelopment: Discussed. Sydney tells Sean that he's getting more used to space travel.
* CoolBigSis: Discussed. Sydney and Sean tell Mindy that she would be a great big sister, being smart and grown-up.
* InfantSiblingJealousy: Although the baby isn't even conceived, Mindy worries that her parents will like the baby better than her.
* ListSong: Jet sings a song listing almost all of Jupiter's moons.
* MassivelyNumberedSiblings: Jupiter has 67 'kids.' Mindy figures that having 1 sibling is better than having 67 of them.
* RuleOfCool: Discussed when Jet says that flying out to see Jupiter's moons is more fun than looking it up online.
* ShoutOut:
** When Jet says that Jupiter has over 60 kids (moons), Mindy compares it to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There_was_an_Old_Woman_Who_Lived_in_a_Shoe The Old Lady Who Lives In Her Shoe]].
** Sydney points out how Jupiter was named after [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Zeus]], and its' moons were named after his children.
* ThatRemindsMeOfASong: Before he sings the ListSong, Jet says "I feel a song coming on!"

!!Project Pluto
Jet, Sean, and Sydney have to tell Mindy that Pluto isn't a planet.
----
* AlliterativeTitle: '''P'''roject '''P'''luto.
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Dr. Rafferty unintentionally embarrasses Sean by mentioning that when he was four, he insisted on carrying a little purple hippo around.
* BearerOfBadNews: Jet loses to Sean and Sydney in a game of "not it" and has to tell Mindy that Pluto is no longer a planet. However, he gets off easy because when he tries to tell her, she tells Jet that she already knew.
* BigEater: Sean shows shades of this. He said that the Propulsions usually have snacks when the kids go to ask Carrot a question about Pluto, which earned him a funny look from Sydney.
-->'''Sean''': It's been a while since lunch!
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Carrot calls Pluto "dear little Pluto," which foreshadows the song "Dear Little Frozen Pluto" from the episode "From Pluto With Love."
* PiggybackCute: Jet is shown giving Mindy an adorable piggyback ride when they enter the house.
* PlutoIsExpendable: Averted. While Pluto's demotion is the topic of the episode, the kids feel sorry that it isn't a planet, rather than making fun of it.
* RuleOfThree: There are three requirements to being a planet - orbiting the sun, having enough mass to be round, and clearing the neighborhood. Because Pluto doesn't do the last thing, it's not a planet.
* ShaggyDogStory: Mindy wants to make a model of Pluto for show-and-tell at school, but then the other kids tell her that Pluto is no longer a planet. Then, the older kids go to the DSA and have a debate with the scientists on whether Pluto ''should'' be considered a planet or not. Then, the kids are forced to go home and tell Mindy that Pluto truly is no longer a planet, (which could have lead to an emotional ending with AnAesop) but then discover that Mindy has already accepted the fact that Pluto is no longer a planet and has made a model of Saturn instead.
* ThatCloudLooksLike: At the beginning of the episode, Jet is looking at the clouds, and sees a cloud that looks like Sunspot.
* VerbalBackspace: "Thank you for coming, people of Earth (Sydney shushes Jet) I mean...thank you for coming, everyone."
