Go To

1'''A Plot:''' When Adam makes a mixtape for both Beverly and Dana, who accidentally hears it while riding home with Adam, a problem ensures in their relationship, landing Adam into trouble with Beverly.
2
3'''B Plot:''' Barry gets a fake I.D., which is quickly confiscated by Coach Mellor when he shows it off to the whole school. However, Barry has to make good on some promises he made to friends in order to get into a senior party, so he uses Murray's I.D.
4----
5* DiggingYourselfDeeper: Adam finds himself unable to just be honest with Dana after the mixtape incident, so he tries to apologize with a ''second'' mixtape with a personalized case. When Dana turns it down, he later tries to apologize to Beverly with the same tape, who ''also'' ends up even more upset than before when she sees him hiding said case.
6* LineOfSightName: Barry has trouble coming up with a name for his fake I.D., with one of his suggestions being "Mr. Tablecloth".
7* LoveTriangle: An odd version, in that both Dana (girlfriend) and Beverly (mother) are upset that they aren't Adam's special someone.
8* MustStateIfYoureACop: In TheTag, Pops goes to get a fake I.D. to state he's ''under'' 60. The guy making them not only says this, but also states that he gets to keep the badge for a year if Pops is lying.
9* SelectiveObliviousness: Pops tells Beverly that a mixtape was obviously not a gift meant for a mother and that she's been acting too clingy towards Adam. As a result, she feels so apologetic that she then interprets Pops repeatedly stating "DON'T interfere" with Adam's love life as "DO interfere", though thankfully it all ends well.
