* TheAtoner: Subverted with Homer. Once he wets the bed after getting his coworkers in trouble, he throws them all a barbeque to apologise. However, once he wets the bed ''again'', he's annoyed he wasted a good deed and decides to get to the route of his bed-wetting problem instead.

* SeriesContinuityError: Homer has taken Bart fishing in past episodes ("I Am Furious (Yellow)" and a flashback in TheMovie) without any repercussions. It may be that his memory of fishing with Abe wasn't jogged in those cases for whatever reason--he [[ChekhovsGun specifically brings it up]] during their fishing trip in this episode.

** Again, Homer mentions in "One Fish Two Fish Blowfish Blue Fish" that he and his father never did many of the bonding activities that fathers and sons typically do, including fishing.

* LaserGuidedKarma: Subverted. Homer develops a bedwetting problem immediately after [[TemptingFate all but daring karma to come for him]] for letting his coworkers take the punishment for something he started, while he was rewarded with an afternoon off. He attempts to rebalance things by throwing an apology party for all his coworkers, but even after winning back their goodwill he's still wetting them bed. It turns out the problem was actually triggered by what he ''did'' on that afternoon off: he went fishing with Bart, which resurfaced a past trauma related to a fishing trip he took with his dad.
