* GoodParents: Despite Phil initially not believing that Will is sick, the second it becomes clear that Will's tonsils are infected they immediately take him to the hospital. When Will sneaks home and admits he's afraid of surgery, they understand why he's scared but promise him that the surgery is what he needs and encourage/force him to go back to the hospital.



* SickEpisode: Will spends the episode in the hospital due to infected tonsils.

Added DiffLines:

* EmbarrassingHospitalGown: Will has to have his tonsils out, and while in the hospital, he is embarrassed by the gown, especially after a nurse catches a glimpse of him and quips. "It's Showtime at The Apollo!" He eventually ends up wearing another gown backward to cover himself.

Added DiffLines:

* AfraidOfDoctors: For Will. More specifically, he's afraid of the surgery he'll need, to the point that he escapes the hospital and hides at home to avoid it.
* DirtyOldMan: Will's roommate at the hospital keeps a "lucky hat" that he regularly drops so he can watch nurses pick it up for him.
* PlayingSick: At first Phil thinks that Will is doing this trope to get out of going to school. But, when he opens his mouth and shows that his throat really ''does'' look bad, Phil jumps back in disgust and realizes that Will isn't kidding.
* PoorCommunicationKills: Will mishears a nurse's explanation of where his roommate went ("He went to a better place.") The fact that his roommate could FaceDeathWithDignity gives Will the courage to go through his tonsillectomy. Later it's revealed that the roommate is still alive; by "better place", the nurse meant he was going to a better nursing home.

Will fears the scalpel when he enters the hospital for a tonsillectomy, while the family fears a steamy exposé when Geoffrey begins to write his memoirs.
