!!Examples:
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Averted. Elyse and Ned are shown to have a good relationship, although it is implied that Steven feels that Ned acts childishly.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Bert Calryle, the FBI agent [[spoiler: sent to arrest Ned.]]
* Cliffhanger: Ends with the reveal that [[spoiler: Ned has embezzled four million dollars from his former company.]]
* CodeName: When Steven receives a phone call asking for a Stanislaw Demkowski, Ned claims he booked his flights under that name to avoid his company harassing him with queries while on vacation. Results in this exchange:
-->'''Ned''': May I use your phone for a second? Quick business call?
-->'''Steven''': Certainly, Stanislaw. After all, you are a guest in our country.
* CoolUncle: Uncle Ned, who is clearly a favourite among all three Keaton children.
* OutOfCharacterMoment: An in-universe example, as Uncle Ned's erratic behaviour and vague answers attracts suspicion from the Keatons as to his real reason for visiting.
* SpySpeak: Ned uses this during one of his suspicious phone calls, much to the confusion of the Keatons.
-->'''Ned''': The falcon has landed. The fat man walks alone. I repeat, the falcon has landed, and the fat man walks alone.
* TrialBalloonQuestion: Steven asks FBI agent Carlyle what would "hypothetically" happen if they were caught lying to the FBI about Ned's whereabouts. Carlyle's response does nothing to ease his worries:
-->'''Carlryle''': I guess...Uh, hypothetically speaking, that you would be hypothetically arrested for harboring a known criminal and hypothetically be sent to a very real jail.
-->'''Steven''': I see.
