Gone Horribly Right: In "As Bad as She Gets", Leo considers moving back to Portland and setting up an office there, but his son LJ doesn't want to move as he will miss his friends back home. So Sydney and LJ steal bikes from the store to make them appear as bad influences in an attempt to cancel the move. Their plan works too well - not only does Leo call off the move, it nearly destroys his and Max's friendship. | |

Take Our Word for It: Every time the characters watch TV, we never actually see what they're watching. Examples would be the Doll of Death movie in "Adventures in Babe-Sitting", and the Hot Shot Chef show and Ricky Angelo musical Doo Wop Days in "Caved and Confused". A non-TV example would be the Sixteen Oranges concert in "The Parent Track". | |

Flash Back Echo: The show's flashbacks with Max parallel what's happening with Sydney in the present. For example, in "Can't Dye This", Sydney tries to rebel against Max and dye her hair, while in the flashback, Max tries to rebel against his mom and bleach his hair so he can join a skateboarding gang. | |

Sydney to the Max / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: In one episode, Grandma Judy tells Sydney that someone she knows thinks all cats are witches, supposing that he watches too much television. Her actress Caroline Rhea starred on Sabrina the Teenage Witch with a cat who once was a witch. In the Halloween Episode, she is not only dressed as a witch but jokes that she wishes she had a talking cat. When Max says cats don't talk, she says "They do in my world". | |

Strictly Formula: Every episode follows a similar plot: Sydney wants to do something but Max declines, but she proceeds to do so anyway behind his back. Flashbacks to Max’s childhood in 1992 show he had the same situations as Sydney did with similar results. When Max out Sydney disobeyed, he explains about the same problem from his childhood and the two make up with each other. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Shows up frequently. "Night Not at the Museum": Sydney chooses to accept her punishment, meaning she misses the Pop-Up Cake Museum and won't be able to see it again for probably a long time, but she's on better terms with Max. "Baby One More Rhyme": Sydney's song doesn't get picked, but Ricky says her song is only suitable for her, which inspires her to be a singer and songwriter. | |

Ear-Piercing Plot: The episode "Never Been Pierced" deals with Sydney wanting to get her ears pierced like Sophia, but against Judy's wishes. She secretly gets them pierced while on an outing with Mrs. Harris, but when Judy decides to go along with it, Sydney freaks out and has the cashier pretend she's getting pierced for the first time so Judy doesn't suspect a thing. But then Mrs. Harris comes in and reveals Sydney already got pierced behind Judy's back, and Sydney was in for it. | |

No Periods, Period | |
Sydney to the Max / int_d0bf8a6d | comment |
No Periods, Period: Averted with extreme prejudice in the episode "Girlz II Women", which is about Sydney having her first period, making it the second Disney show to so much as mention the topic since Best Friends Whenever. What makes this so unprecedented is how this episode marks the first time periods are discussed in detail as opposed to a passing mention, and ends with a life lesson on how Sydney shouldn't be ashamed of it. | |
