Shipper on Deck: Sheldon's mother definitely approves of Treva, who makes food as bland as her, and returns to normal after Sheldon hooks up with her. It's hinted the entire thing was her Batman Gambit to get Sheldon to be interested in her pick of partner.

comment
Jewish Mother: Sheldon's mother alternates between kvetching at him about everything, embarrassing him by telling everyone about his childhood bedwetting, and being very critical of his gentile divorcee girlfriend. He feels genuinely relieved when she disappears during a magic act. Then she reappears in the sky over New York, doing the exact same thing except now literally everyone in the city can see or hear her. She only returns to human form once Sheldon has been dumped by his gentile girlfriend and he introduces his mother to his new Jewish girlfriend, who similarly nags and controls him.

Muse Abuse: Lionel derives his artistic energy from the "Life Lessons" with his assistants. He's looking to do the same thing with different assistant at the end of the story.

Magic Realism: "Oedipus Wrecks" is the only of the three stories that features a small fantasy element: After vanishing in a stage magician act, Sheldon's mother appears as a giant face in the sky of New York.
