* SureLetsGoWithThat: At the start of the episode, the rest of the family is confused why Jessica's appointing Evan as "Vice Mommy" instead of putting Louis in charge. When Louis asks if it's due to him already being busy managing Cattleman's, Jessica unconvincingly states that's exactly why, leaving Louis with an unsatisfied expression on his face.

* EmbarrassingOldPhoto: Soon after making Eddie EmployeeOfTheMonth, Louis sets up a collage of Eddie's old baby photos at Cattleman's as part of a going-away party (for Eddie's upcoming trip to Taiwan), which only increases Eddie's fear that [[{{Nepotism}} he's getting special treatment as the boss' son]].



* {{Nepotism}}: Eddie wants to be treated as just an employee while working at Cattleman's, and not get special treatment from his dad, but Louis struggles to avoid showing favoritism and takes it as an insult when Eddie asks him to separate his "boss life" from his "dad life". A conversation with Trent towards the end of the plotline has Eddie realize that Louis treats all of his employees like family, and Eddie apologizes for resisting it.

** Eddie's wish to be shown less favoritism while working for his dad ends up backfiring when he uses Cattleman's kitchen to prepare a meal for Tina (because Evan was using the home kitchen to cook a fancy meal and help Jessica impress her teachers) and Louis interrupts the date to punish him for breaking regulations.

* WildTeenParty: Grandma wants to throw one of these (minus the "teen") while Jessica is busy with her studies, and when Evan [[WhenYouComingHomeDad worries that Jessica is too focused on her school life to spend time with him]], she convinces Evan to let her go through with it in order to get Jessica refocused on her home life.
