!This episode provides examples of the following tropes:
* HypocriticallyHeartwarming: Vy berates Will for making fun of Uncle Phil's weight despite doing so herself, reasoning that only she gets to make fun of him like that.
* IdleRich: Vy worries that Will will become one of these if he continues living in a wealthy household and doing no work other than schoolwork.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: Will and Vy share many of the same traits, including their penchant for making fun of Uncle Phil.
* SharedFamilyQuirks: Philip blames Vivian for spoiling their children after Vy takes issue with it, but Vivian points out that he regularly gives the kids large allowances simply because they ask.
* ThanksgivingEpisode: The episode centers around the Smiths and Banks celebrating Thanksgiving.
* TyrantTakesTheHelm: Vy quickly assumes authority over her son, nephew and nieces and orders them to do the work that their butler and groundskeeper normally do, which naturally creates discontentment among the Banks family.
