Warning: Spoilers
On the first watch, this episode is a silly, comedic episode. The kids solving a mystery about a statue with Stan's narcissism on full display as he falls in love with a wax figure of himself. However, after the reveal of Stan's twin brother Ford, who is presumably dead at the time, the episode takes on a whole new meaning. Stan's narcissism is no longer narcissism, it's a nostalgic love for his lost brother. When the wax figure dies, Stan feels as if he has lost his brother once more. And for the first time we see emotional Stan on display. This episode is incredibly well written in hindsight as it highlights events and trauma from Stan's past that the viewer does not even know.
