There have been a lot of comparisons. They're parallel evolution. The movie Highlander also had a child adopted by an immortal who had grown old, back in the 1980s. Lots of other things they have in common are very broad tropes that have been done before either of them.
Not 100% sure on how quickly the average legal proceeding goes, and it's a bit irrelevant since the point is correct anyway, but under Writers Cannot Do Math, shouldn't that be 2013? The very same referenced episode (13, Diamonds Are Forever) says that Jo's late husband was involved in a case from "three years ago", and the deposition tape says it was recorded in 2010. If it finished that year, the series is likely 2013 or 2014. (The show starting in 2014 would make that option the more probable.)
Then again, the whole thing could be Abe being wrong anyway (on either count, or possibly making things up, or just rounding), since actual records of his parents weren't obtained until the next episode, and only knowledge of when he was born was probably an estimation.

Is it just me, or is the sculpture Henry's friend Valerie made in 1929 Paris the same statue in which they find the note in the present day?

Question... why is there not a ship tease entry on the main page? It seems like there's at least an instance every other episode or every episode of Mo/Jo ship tease, but there isn't an entry

I haven't seen as much Ship Teasing as you apparently have. There are a couple instances (like when Jo's holding a baby and a nurse walking by assumes it's hers and Henry's; an entry describing the moment for another trope has Ship Tease potholed), but mostly they don't seem to see each other that way (her near-confession to him at the end of "Best Foot Forward" notwithstanding).
The entry has been created. I'd say Henry starts to realize his feelings for Jo at the end of "Punk Is Dead" during the karaoke night. He watches Jo kissing Isaac and looks very unhappy, then pulls on a weak smile when she looks over at him, the voiceover talking about thinking too much about the past and missing what's in front of you. For Jo, it's in the car with Isaac on their way to Paris, when he tells her about his nice, safe, fully-planned itinerary and she compares it to Henry's "getting lost". Her leaving And heading straight to Henry's certainly points that way, and Abe interrupting is certainly a tease!

- Stop Helping Me: Jo is not amused when Morgan pours ethanol on her hand and lights it on fire to neutralize the poison thrown at it.
Stop Helping Me is when the character trying to help makes things worse, annoying the character he's trying to help in the process. Henry lit her hand on fire because he was trying to save her life, and it worked despite her annoyance. Wouldn't this be more Cruel to Be Kind?
