* NiceJobFixingItVillain: It's a good thing Father raised his children to always obey adults, otherwise Numbuh 1 wouldn't have been able to get them to just hand over the age control device without a fight.
* NightmareFace: Father attempting to confront Nigel in the ice cream truck is accompanied by him having a mouth and sharp teeth in a close up of his face, which is notable since it's the only time we see it (while he's fired up anyway).

* WhatYouAreInTheDark: After the fight ends, Numbuh 2 recovers the age remote, hands it to the adult Numbah 1, and asks what they should to do with it. Numbuh 1 initially points it at the helpless DCFDTL, claiming that he knows ''exactly'' what to do with it, seemingly about to do to them what they did to him. As the DCFDTL quiver in fear, he presses the button, a flash of light blinds everyone… but when it fades, it reveals that he’d instead turned the age ray on ''himself'' to restore his true age, and he quickly crushes it under his foot so it can’t be used again.
