Recap / Fillmore Links In A Chain Of Honor

• Affectionate Gesture to the Head: Robert does this to Peter, but the latter is annoyed by it.
• Alliterative Name: Robert and Peter’s older twin brothers, Chuck and Chippy Chestnut, both have this. Also overlaps with Theme Twin Naming what with all the “Ch” sounds.
• The Baby of the Bunch. Peter is the youngest of his brothers and he’s also the youngest member on he safety patrol-at least until he quits to audition for the barbershop quartet.
• Big Brother Instinct: Oscar and Robert are shown to have this towards Tracy and Peter respectively.
• Big Man on Campus: Robert Chestnut is this in X Middle School thanks to his involvement in the safety patrol and student council.
• Caring Gardener: Robert was a former member of the flower club, and he has a fondness for sunflowers.
• Family Eye Resemblance: Robert and his brother Peter are both blue eyed. Also overlaps with Innocent Blue Eyes by playing it straight with Peter and averting it with Robert.
• Follow in My Footsteps: In a sibling variation, the Chestnut family has a legacy with the safety patrol. Robert succumbs to the pressure to follow in Chuck and Chippy’s footsteps, Peter on the other hand decides not to join and opts for musical pursuits instead.
• The Ghost: Chuck and Chippy Chestnut are frequently mentioned but never seen or heard onscreen.
• The Illegible: Robert Chestnut is shown to have terrible handwriting. This becomes a crucial plot point later.
• Informed Ability: Peter says that he’s a singer. While he shows an interest in glee club auditions, has an extensive knowledge on barbershop quartets, and even owns a pitch pipe, he’s never seen using any musical chops.
• Meaningful Background Event: The glow-glue X marking the spot on the ceiling tile that hides the second half of the Lobstee claws can be seen in the scene where Ingrid, Fillmore and Peter come across Robert in Oscar's office, and while the trio is asking Oscar questions.
• Show, Don't Tell: It’s mentioned that Oscar doesn’t get a lot of respect from his peers, but it’s never specified why, and he’s not shown to be bullied either.
• Taking the Heat: Oscar takes the blame for the missing lobster claws in exchange for Robert helping Tracy make student council.
