3!!This episode contains the following tropes:
4* AnAesop: "Classrooms aren't required when learning is desired."
5* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: A tiger student is instructed to climb a tree for a test, but he can't focus on it and instead chases a butterfly.
6* BeenThereShapedHistory: Gabby and the twins zip past Einstein's desk, causing him to glance up from his work in surprise with his tongue sticking out--right as a photographer snaps [[https://rarehistoricalphotos.com/albert-einstein-tongue-1951/ what is arguably the most famous photo of him.]]
7* {{Cliffhanger}}: At the end of the episode, [[spoiler: someone kidnaps Derek. Was it Karinne...[[BaitAndSwitch or something else]]?]]
8* FurryReminder: After finally making it through the tree climbing test, the tiger cub decides he's hungry, and the other animals look delicious.
9* GivenNameReveal: We learn that Mrs. Tuttle's first name is Julia.
10* HistoricalDomainCharacter: UsefulNotes/AlbertEinstein makes an appearance, [[TheKnightsWhoSaySquee much to Emily's delight.]]
11* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: Emily is beyond thrilled to meet her hero, Albert Einstein.
12* LiteralMetaphor: Gabby takes the twins to a literal jungle to demonstrate a literal version of the "don't judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree" parable.
13* NeverHeardThatOneBefore: When Einstein asks Gabby how she's been, she responds, "''Relatively'' good!" Einstein gives a forced chuckle at that and whispers to the twins that that joke gets old fast.
14* {{Parody}}: Phil Gerson the Science Person is a clear parody of [[CompositeCharacter both]] Series/BillNyeTheScienceGuy and UsefulNotes/NeilDeGrasseTyson.
15* SarcasmMode: The koala teacher sarcastically quips that he doesn't mind letting two random strangers waltz into his classroom and start teaching. [[SarcasmBlind The twins take it as permission.]]
16* SelfParody: Amanda Lee (Kevin's mom) is an animator and created a cartoon called "The Quiplet Triplets."
17* ShoutOut:
18** Karinne imitates a [[Franchise/StarWars Sith lord]] when going to meet F.A.R.T. in a dark alley. She thought it would be cool.
19** Franchise/{{Tarzan}} kidnaps Derek.
20* ShownTheirWork: The koala teacher has two thumbs, just like real koalas.
