Disappeared Dad: Martha hasn't seen her father Mark Heller (Michael Ryan) since her parents divorced, apparently when she was a young child. He now lives in a McMansion with his second wife Joan (Brittaney Bennett) and his three kids who don't know Martha exists. When Nicky drops Martha off with Mark, saying he's the best person available to take care of her, Mark tries to talk her out of it; after Nicky leaves, he promptly dumps Martha in an institution. Nicky ends up getting custody of Martha.

Broken Treasure: During a meltdown, Martha breaks a vase belonging to Nicky. Nicky is upset because her grandmother gave it to her. She tries to fix it, but can't figure out how to get the pieces to fit back together, and considers just throwing it out. But then Martha glues it together for her, and does such a good job that it looks like it was never broken.

Air Guitar: A variation. During a recital, Martha plays the first few bars of a Fryderyk Chopin piece on a piano, then plays the rest of the song on an air piano, producing orchestral music only she can hear.
