* ControlFreak: Although Jeff mostly trusts the boys to do the right thing, in this episode he finds it difficult to leave everything to the boys when he goes on holiday, even threatening to return home when Scott makes a decision he does not like it approve of; but Lady Penelope persuades him to stay. And at the very end:

By the end, however, Jeff is delighted with all his sons, including Scott, for saving the crew of the rig.
