Tropes associated with this episode:

  • Innocently Insensitive: Nellie and Percival coo and comment on their babies to Caroline and comment how wonderful it'd be if she had twins too, unaware that she's going through menopause and hiding it from Charles after telling everyone that she was pregnant.
  • Mistaken for Pregnant: A case where the woman herself thinks so: After her cycle is two months late and feeling morning sickness, Caroline is so sure that she's pregnant again that she tells the news even before seeing Dr. Baker, only to be told by the good doctor that these are the signs of her menopause, meaning she's not only not pregnant but unable to have anymore children.
  • Not So Above It All: While congratulating Charles on the alleged arrrival of another child, Reverend Alden jokes that he shouldn't take the "Go ye therefore and populate the Earth" quite so seriously.
  • Sibling Rivalry: Nellie and Percival go down the stairs carryign their twins and comment on how they caught the babies "boxing" each other. Talk about one precocious example (they are about a year old).
