* PlayingDoctor: Roger does this in "Operation: Deja View" when assisting Tia and Tamera in their plot to find information about their birth parents. One of the doctors actually ''somehow'' mistakes him for a doctor, asking him to assist in a breast enhancement surgery procedure, which Roger is happy to oblige. Later in the operating room, Roger faints upon seeing the patient's new figure post-surgery (presumably the first time he's ever seen a woman topless), and is later seen being carted in a gurney as the twins leave the hospital morgue [[note]](which they mistook for the room containing the patient records)[[/note]].

** In Season 1's "Wedding Bells and Box Boys", during a conversation with Tia, Lisa mentions having carried her daughter for nine months; after Tia reminds Lisa she (Tia) was adopted, Lisa explains she literally carried Tia in her arms when she was a baby because Lisa couldn't afford a stroller. This joke is referenced in Season 3's "The Break-Up", when Terrence reminds Lisa (who had turned down his second proposal) that she adopted Tia, after Lisa explains she doesn't want another kid because she doesn't want to have to "spend another nine months carrying a child".

* WildTeenParty: The A-plot of "Halloween" involves Tia, Tamera, Steve and Denise (later accompanied by Roger) trying to find their way to a rave, despite the girls being grounded for the night (thanks to Tamera getting in trouble at a wild street party downtown the previous year). They learn that the party has moved (from the house of the classmate throwing it to the suburb of Farmington), accidentally drive to the U.S.–Canadian border (where they pick up a cigar smuggler they drop off in downtown Detroit, and who gives Steve a cigar, subjecting them to second-hand smoke), and end up driving into a downtown street rave nearby (where Ray's car nearly gets trashed). Turns out the rave they were going to was moved to Tia and Tamera's house last-minute, resulting in them having to clean up the mess before Ray and Lisa get home from a black tie-formal Halloween party (where Ray is dressed as a bunny, mistakenly--thanks to Lisa, who ends up dressed appropriately for the actual theme--believing it was a costumed affair). Shortly after they come home, Ray and Lisa find out the twins snuck out when Tamera appears on the news, and grounds Tia and Tamera for a month.
