Tropes seen in this episode:

  • Be Careful What You Wish For: After badgering him for breaking Harriette's present, Laura says she wishes that Steve would know what it was like to be her. Tyrone later grants this wish, but the expected twist of showing her what it looks and feels like to be the nerdy admirer.
  • Big "WHAT?!": After the do-over, Steve's reaction to Laura saying his well-being is more important than the objects he accidentally broke.
  • Christmas Episode: The second of seven such episodes during the series’ run. Often set aside for airing near Christmas, instead of in the original production order.
  • Did You Think I Can't Feel?: Steve himself doesn't express this attitude after getting yelled at for accidentally breaking Harriette's gift, but this is the lesson Tyrone teaches Laura. He shows her what it would be like if Steve was a member of the Winslow clan and she was the klutzy neighbor with a crush. She comes back from it saying she never really appreciated how much it hurts Steve to get yelled at by someone he cares about for an honest mistake.
  • Guardian Angel: Tyrone is Laura's. She's skeptical of his attempts to prove it, until he freezes time.
  • My Greatest Second Chance: After Laura learns her lesson, Tyrone lets her go back to the moment when Steve accidentally broke Harriette's present so that she can have a more forgiving reaction.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: In response to Laura being nicer to him, Steve says he's wondering if she suffered nervous breakdown.
