* DoesNotLikeShoes:
-->'''Jesse:''' I like humans, but I hate shoes. Like, how are we supposed to taste the ground?



* NoSympathy: Averted; while Yumyulack is mad that Jesse was manipulating him and lied about people having a FreudianExcuse, he tells her that she meant well but is naive about the way things are on Earth. Sometimes being nice doesn't cut it.

** PlayedForLaughs about Pupa eating candy that he's not supposed to because it makes him ill. Korvo accuses various family members of feeding it to Pupa and indulging him. It turns out Pupa is sneaking out and getting it.
** PlayedForDrama when Yumyulack and Jesse get trapped in a bar with Neo-Nazis who threaten to kill them. They wisely don't tell their parents about this when they get home.

The Homeowners' Association orders the Schlorpians to paint their crashed ship to match the roof. In retaliation, Korvo decides to find out how to make the neighbors like them and run for HOA president.

Jesse gets tired of Yumyulack kidnapping people arbitrarily to put in his wall. Her belief is that people have reasons to be mean, and uses mind-control chips to convince Yumyulack on that point.

* RedHerring: A random guy tells Terry and Korvo to run for the HOA presidency position. One may assume it's Tyler, the neighbor who doesn't' like them, attempting to sabotage them. Nope. Tyler is a random guy they've never met who was at the election meeting.

!! Tropes for this episode include

* AdultFear:
** PlayedForLaughs about Pupa eating candy that he's not supposed to because it makes him ill. Korvo accuses various family members of feeding it to Pupa and indulging him. It turns out Pupa is sneaking out and getting it.
** PlayedForDrama when Yumyulack and Jesse get trapped in a bar with Neo-Nazis who threaten to kill them. They wisely don't tell their parents about this when they get home.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Yumyulack suits up and wipes out the entire bar of Neo-Nazis that are threatening him and his little sister. He makes sure not an inch of Jesse's skin is touched.
* BrickJoke: A ''long'' one for the C plot of what Pupa is doing. The episode starts with Pupa being ill from candy. Then his plot is doing a convoluted thing -- killing a crow, stabbing a man, cloning a leg-- to knock candy out of a vending machine and eating it.
* CharacterDevelopment: In the previous episode, Jesse would have been happy to bicker with Yumyulack about how to dunk someone in acid or shrink them. He also would have been furious with her for mind-controlling people to prove his point. Here they manage to compromise; Yumyulack will control his tendencies to shrink anyone who annoys him and Jesse will cool it on trying to change her brother's view.
* CoolOldLady: We find out Ruth is the one for the HOA because she manages to calm the feuding neighbors down and tell them there's no need for sci-fi bullshit.
* DisproportionateRetribution: The kids go to a Neo-Nazi bar, and Yumyulack crashes the stage to have Jesse sing her song about friendship. In retaliation, the Neo-Nazis attack and try to murder them.
* DoAndroidsDream: The nanobots decide that, rather than helping Korvo rebuild the ship, they're going to go and buy a house and fall in love. Before Terry and Korvo can catch them, they fly out the window and into the night.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Even Yumyulack doesn't like killing people unnecessarily.
* FreudianExcuse: Invoked; Jesse thinks that people are jerks because they have their baggage. Yumyulack tells her in the end that sometimes people don't have or need an excuse to be jerks.
* LetsGetDangerous: Yumyulack suits up and wipes out the Neo-Nazis in several seconds flat, all the while apologizing to them for the suit being on autopilot.
* MuggingTheMonster: The Neo-Nazis try to kill two alien children for interrupting their song and offering chocolate pudding cups. Yumyulack teaches them the hard why why it's a bad idea.
* NoSympathy: Averted; while Yumyulack is mad that Jesse was manipulating him and lied about people having a FreudianExcuse, he tells her that she meant well but is naive about the way things are on Earth. Sometimes being nice doesn't cut it.
