* {{Gaslighting}}: Barry first tries to avoid blame by making Beverly think she taped over her own videos. When he comes clean, but justifies it by saying his greatness has been preserved in film, Bev reveals she's been lying about things like "regulation basketball hoop size" for all of Barry's life to build up his self-confidence.
* GrowingUpSucks: Murray had fun ''designing'' a robot with Adam, but when it's suggested they actually ''build'' one, he points out how unrealistic it is and wants Adam to stop having an overactive imagination.

But when Murray and Pops see Adam actually putting away his toys and watching the Weather Network, Pops tells Murray this is happening too fast, and they should savor Adam's youth while it lasts. It's also revealed that Erica still has one of her old dolls, which she hold fondly.
