!!Tropes:
* ContinuityNod:
** The kids are seen watching the Dora The Explorer {{Expy}} Hector The Detector from the episode 'Sister, Wife'. Also Bradley from the same episode reappears and kickstarts the plot by recommending Free Range Parenting to Annie and Jack.
** The CreepyDoll from 'Red Head Redemption' makes a reappearance and it's revealed that the ashes of Annie's grandmother are inside it.
** A coked up Annie reenacts Jing's cartwheel scene from the pilot.
* FedToTheBeast: For being one dollar short, El Espantoso feeds the dealer to his pet crocodiles.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: As Duncan and Kimberly talk to El Espantoso, the dealer is trying to keep from being fed to the crocodiles.
* [[IdenticalStranger Identical Strangers]]: El Espantoso's children look like hispanic versions of Duncan and Kimberly.
* MistakenForPedophile: Annie watches behind a bush as Duncan buys underwear. She is caught by a guard, and she explains what she's doing by saying "I'm just watching this nice boy buy underwear", which gets her arrested. What makes this scene notable is that this is one of the few times in Western media that a woman is accused and punished for allegedly being a pedophile (usually, this happens to a male character).
* NamesToRunAwayFrom: The drug dealer Duncan and Kimberly meet is named El Espantoso, Spanish for "the scary one".
* TooDumbToLive: Duncan attempts to extinguish the burning oven by taking the fire extinguisher and placing it inside where the flames are. And despite the fire, the kids remain inside the house because they don't trust their neighbors outside.
