* DamnedByFaintPraise: The owner of the preschool does that to ''herself'' as her only qualification appears to be that unlike every other daycare in Springfield, she's not currently under federal investigation. The daycare itself is shown to be run by ''objectivist'' standards, which is utterly insane as babies are by definition reliant on their parents or caretakers.

* RageBreakingPoint: Thanks to Homer's unusually boorish and selfish behavior in this episode, Marge ends up snapping while rehearsing the scene where Stella attacks Stanley with a broken bottle. She imagines Homer in Ned's place, and goes into a fury so bad that Ned ''can't overpower her'' during the struggle! In the next scene with the two, it turns out she actually managed to stab him for real!
