A shocking secret is revealed when the Sinclair family starts to think that Baby Sinclair may not be their real baby. This gets Fran so outraged that she decides to go to see the Doctor. The Doctor then performs multiple tests on the two kids to find the results of who’s baby is who’s. The results is that the Molehill’s baby, Aubrey, is the Sinclair’s and that Baby Sinclair belongs to the Molehills. But it wasn’t a happy ending for Fran when she battles to get Baby back into the family.

Solomon: The idea of someone dividing an object into two, whether it is a baby or a bike has been used in sitcoms over and over again. The first time it was used however, it was by King Solomon, as told in The Book of Kings in the Hebrew Bible. It’s basically the same premise as the episode, except when Solomon realizes who the true mother is, she would rather give the baby up than see it harmed, he instantly gives it to her.

Lynyrd Skynyrd: When the episode starts, Robbie and Baby are watching DTV, and a music video for Lyzzard Skyzzard.
This is a take on one of America’s greatest rock bands, Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Robbie: Stop it! You’re adults, can’t you settle this like adults?
Earl: What, weapons?
Gus Molehill: Costly litigation?
Robbie: No, Solomon the Great.

The dinosaurs get a warm and fuzzy feeling as they celebrate the gift of cold storage, but what’s a dinosaur (like Earl) to do when his fridge is repossessed?

Earl makes a self referential comment on a “childrens” show he’s watching. Fran refuses to watch because all she see’s are puppets, even though underneath there are adult undertones.

Part 2:

Charlene wants to make a fashion statement with a very expensive new coat, but the coat can speak for itself (really), and it leads her into a vain attempt to achieve status.

Robbie comes up with an excellent idea for his science project that becomes a hit around the dinosaur world. Seems he has found a way to produce free energy. But B.P. Richfield and the Wesayso Corporation have plans to discredit and ruin Robbie’s project at all costs.

Sexual Harassment lampooned.

After Robbie decides he can live on his own, he soon discovers a plant that, when eaten, makes you happy. He is quick to bring it home and share it with Earl, whose new attitude toward life has very disastrous results.The speech by Robby at the end is cute, but a little asinine considering they later aired once of the most preachy episodes in television history as the series finale, where the entire family dies, along with the rest of the soon-to-be-extinct Dinosaur world as corporate greed driven pollution wipes them out.
