* AbsenteeActor: Creator/AidanGallagher (Nicky) was missing from all but the final few minutes of "This Little Piggy Went to the Harpers". The reason in-universe was that Nicky went to a [[NotImportantToThisEpisodeCamp cooking camp]].
** Mace Coronel (Dicky) was missing from "Quadcodile Dundee" with the character first just in another room but eventually sent to Australia as a foreign exchange student. The actor left the show with five episodes left to film, so his character was gone for those episodes.

* InternalDeconstruction: "Quadshank Redemption" shows how the main characters frequent lying and seemingly harmless antics have followed them to the point the majority of the school cannot stand them. When they try to defend themselves several kids in detention quickly point out all the times in past episodes they've shown their lack of consideration for others to the point even the quads themselves can't come up with a valid argument.
