Hedy Lamarr shows Yadina that she doesn't have to give up singing to become President; she can be more than one thing.

This episode includes examples of:

  • An Aesop:
    Hedy: You can be more than one thing.
  • Diegetic Soundtrack Usage: In the opening scene, the theme song appears as a ringtone on Xavier's phone.
  • Drama Queen: Hedy is really great at acting overdramatically.
  • Faint in Shock: Hedy pretends to do this when Yadina breaks the music box, but she actually isn't bothered by it.
  • Gratuitous German: When the gang meets Hedy in Austrian, she's speaking German.
    Hedy (singing in German): Und das ist das Ende der Shooooow!Translation 
  • Heads or Tails?: Brad suggests flipping a coin to decide which dream Yadina should follow.
  • Luminescent Blush: Yadina blushed in embarrassment when she broke Hedy's music box.
  • Oh, Crap!:
    • Brad realizes he's screwed when Xavier is about to say "To the Secret Museum!"
    Brad: (sighs) I have only myself to blame...
    • Yadina also has this reaction when she accidentally breaks Hedy's music box.
  • Shown Their Work:
    • When Hedy Lamarr was young, she really did enjoy taking apart her toy music box to understand its inner workings.
    • Hedy mentions helping a "friend" with designing planes. This is a nod to her helping Howard Hughes design an aircraft.
    • At the end of the episode, the kids correctly state that Hedy laid the groundwork for things such as Wi-Fi and GPS.
  • To the Tune of...: Yadina's "presidential song" is to the tune of "Hail to the Chief."
