Mario learns the identity of Jeffy's true parents.

Tropes:

  • Continuity Cavalcade: There are numerous Call Backs and Continuity Nods to previous episodes.
    • Call-Back:
      • Jeffy telling of the backstory of how he ended up at with Mario in the first place, ending his flashback with his first scene in his first episode, "Mario the Babysitter!"
      • Jacques Pierre François, whose only appearance prior to this was "Bowser Junior's Painting!" becomes plot relevant as he's revealed to be Jeffy's real dad. Rosalina even mentions him sneezing on a canvas.
      • When Mario decides to adopt Jeffy, Brooklyn T. Guy shows a ripped up half of a note, hoping Mario could help him out with it. Mario does help out as he already had the other half in "Jeffy's Birthday!" Putting the notes together, it's revealed that Jeffy's 12 and is worth $1,000,000.00 when he turns 18.
  • Drama Bomb: This is notably more emotional than the usual comedic SML video. The video plays Jeffy's backstory and the child abuse he goes through entirely straight and only has a few jokes shown in.
  • Freudian Excuse: Jeffy is revealed to have one in the form of Nancy. Turns out, Nancy is a dirty prostitute who most likely gave birth to Jeffy out of wedlock with now deceased artist Jacques Pierre François. She also didn't give a crap about being a parent to him and eventually forced him to strike out on his own simply because she didn't want to be a parent.
  • Happily Adopted: What Jeffy becomes at the end of the episode.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Rosalina leaves and presumably breaks up with Mario after getting mad at him for letting Jeffy go with Nancy. She comes back after Mario adopts Jeffy, though.
  • Wham Episode: Not only do we get to see Jeffy's backstory revealed, but Mario adopts Jeffy at the end of the episode, becoming his legal guardian.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: Rosalina lets Mario have it for deciding to let Jeffy go with Nancy, despite the two witnessing her beating Jeffy in front of them.
