Sexiness Score: In "The Search", Jared unknowingly kissed a 10-year-old girl (she was wearing a snowsuit and he couldn't tell) and is freaked out about it. When he tells his parents he "got some from a 10", they assume he's talking about this trope, and Nate congratulates him while Robin admonishes him for rating women numerically. | |

Foreshadowing: Multiple off-hand references in season 1 episode 5 set up The Reveal that Dr. Rob is actually a pedophile. Another off-hand reference to the sweet tea "tasting like chemical." Oksana has been slowly poisoning Dr. Rob with antifreeze in his sweet tea. Delilah tells Edie at one point that if anyone is going to break up her family, it will be her. She does exactly that in the finale. In season 2 episode 7, Edie displays traits similar to Robin and Vanessa. It is later revealed that Edie is their Long-Lost Sister. | |

| The Detour / int_aed65980 | comment |
All for Nothing: The Season 1 finale. Partway through the season, Nate's motivation for reaching Florida has changed from trying to get his job back to being a whistleblower and exposing a dangerous flaw in the hand sanitizer they manufacture. Right as the family's about to interrupt the press conference being held, a group of activists beat them to the punch, only to be mocked because that batch of hand sanitizer was never intended for public distribution in the first place; all Nate can do is silently walk away, glad that at least he didn't publicly embarrass himself. | |
