This episode breaksaway from the VO of Sam's penguin narration and comparison with what's going on with his life.

The ep focuses on Elsa trying to control Sam's want for independence, her perception of his ability to grow and live in a world that's not built for Sam. Also Casey is confronted with the idea that her father, who she is able to confide in, including her first kiss with Evan, has lied to her. A lot of the episode is Elsa and Doug overprotecting their kids, struggling with the idea of the changes that their teenage kids are no longer kids. And this means breaking routines that have been standing for years, breaking out of the lives they knew, not only for their kids but for themselves.
