* YoureNotMyMother: Liza tells Asta that she's not her mother after Asta scares off a biker Liza was asking for a ride by telling him Liza's sixteen. Asta agrees, but says that she wants to help Liza because she knows what it's like for her because of her own childhood.

* BrokenWinLossStreak: D'Arcy withdraws from the chili-eating competition, of which she's the yearly victor, to help a struggling Asta recuperate.

* YoureNotMyMother: Liza tells Asta that she's not her mother. Asta agrees, but says that she wants to help Liza because she knows what it's like for her because of her own childhood.

* FalseMemories: Harry had already implanted a false memory in Sheriff Mike and Deputy Liv's heads to keep them from remembering that he's an alien, but it wasn't enough because there are still large gaps in their memory. In this episode, he fills the gap in Sheriff Mike's memory by giving him a memory of a day of fishing at one of Patience's lakes with his father.

* OhCrap: Sahar realizes someone had been in the RV since the last time they were there, and more importantly had stolen the alien ball.

* CutAndPasteNote: After dognapping Murphy, the dog that Sahar has been watching, Harry leaves her one of these reading "If you ever want to see your dog again, return my alien ball. - Alien"

Harry and Asta's plan to go to New York takes an unexpected detour when a girl, Liza, is caught trying to stealing a bicycle in Patience and greets him with two words: "Hi, Dad." In other affairs, Asta and D'Arcy deal with the fallout of Asta's overnight stay with Jimmy. Ben hosts a questionable play about The 59 that leaves one parent walking out in tears, but is a hit with his son, Max. Sheriff Mike and Deputy Liv continue to struggle with their lost memories and Mike is haunted by the loss of his partner and best friend Jesse, the details of his past finally brought into focus. And Harry kidnaps the dog, Murphy, that Sahar has been dogwalking, hoping to force her to give back his alien spaceship ball, but the ball has been stolen from Sahar by David Logan, who is still trying to track General [=McCallister=].

* BananaPeel: The Ikea instructional manual-style opening credits for this episode depict this, the twist being that simply taking the banana peel and throwing it in the trash gets the red X because the gag is that you're ''supposed'' to slip on the banana peel.

* GenderBlenderName: The dog that Sahar has been walking that gets kidnapped, Murphy, is said to be a female dog.

* {{Narm}}: [[invoked]] In-universe - Mayor Ben hosts a play with the town's schoolchildren about the 59. It's supposed to be a serious affair, rather too serious in fact, as the kids act out scenes of death and destruction. Then, they sing a song called "Where Have All the Daddies Gone?" and Harry and Liza cannot help but bust out laughing at the ridiculousness of it all.

* TalkingToTheDead: Liz visits her Aunt Cathy's grave, as she was the only one Liv ever told about her UFO sighting.

* MediationBackfire: Ben asks Liza and Harry to stop their water balloon fight, only for them to pelt him with the balloons instead.

* YoureNotMyFather: Liza tells Asta that she's not her mother. Asta agrees, but says that she wants to help Liza because she knows what it's like for her because of her own childhood.
