* SlippingAMickey: [[spoiler:Heavily implied. In the flashbacks, Jack can be seen dragging Alice's body just prior to hooking her up to the simulation, indicating that he had drugged her unconscious.]]

* CutLexLuthorACheck: [[spoiler:Frank and Dr. Collins could have sold their fully-immersive VR simulation to video game developers and made an absolute fortune, instead of having a small subscription-based service for their misogynistic fan base.]]

* DaylightHorror: Some of the cracks in Victory start showing during the day, such as Alice noticing a plane ripple in the sky and randomly crash into the mountains. [[spoiler:Alice ends up watching Margaret slit her throat and fall down the roof during the daytime.]]

** [[spoiler:"Warren" means rabbit hole - as in Wonderland. Who tries to keep her there? Bunny.]]

** The medical benefits for patients that are unable to interact or communicate with the physical world would be incredible.]]

* CreepyBallet: Alice goes to ballet class, and the cinematography emphasizes the repetitive motions and identical moves. Then she sees a woman in the mirror bash her head against the wall, causing her to scream... but when she looks back, nobody is there.

* BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: [[spoiler:Jack and the other men joined Victory because they wanted to be completely cared for by their loving, doting wives. However, the "upkeep of their chosen wives" requires them to constantly keep the captive women hydrated, provide nutrition, and administer sedatives, while also having to feed themselves since the food made within Victory is not real either. In short, by robbing their "wives" of their agency and independence in the real world, the men have to work even harder to completely care for them, the exact opposite of what Frank had been preaching to them.]]

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Dr. Collins brings up the British phrase "keep calm and carry on" during his visit with Jack and Alice. While the posters were made during World War II, they were virtually unknown until the 2000s when they were rediscovered and became a MemeticMutation, [[spoiler:a big clue that this isn't actually taking place in the '50s. Jack's awkward inability to answer Dr. Collins's question "What is it you British people say?" also hints that Jack isn't actually British.]]

* LosingAShoeInTheStruggle: [[spoiler:After Alice fails to convince Jack to leave Victory, red-suited men forcibly take Alice and Alice loses her black flat.]]

* CerebusCallBack: When Alice wakes up after her first experience at Headquarters, she finds Jack in the kitchen trying to make her dinner, having made a complete disaster of every dish. This sweet and funny moment feels far less sincere after [[spoiler:a later flashback shows that the real Jack was never considerate enough to try making his own meals in the real world and always expected Alice to do it for him, even when she was working long hours at the hospital]].
