* BulletHolesAndRevelations: Between Illya and Alexander, with a twist [[spoiler: as it turns out the bullet missed both men but at the same time the gun went off Illya had stabbed Alexander in the heart.]]



* YouAreAlreadyDead: A totally epic variation. [[spoiler: During Solo's last conversation with Victoria, she explains how she's going to kill him and everyone he knows for killing her husband, and vows this course of action on her husband's soul. Solo replys by telling her that simply by answering the radio signal, she inadvertently set every last piece of action into play and that the fake warhead (Which is a real, though non-nuclear bomb) will be with her before she can make it to shore. She looks up, and BOOM!]]

to:

%%* * EpicFail: Illya's attempt to discuss Italian architecture with Gaby.Gaby doesn't go well. He claims the Spanish Steps were really built by a Russian architect who supposedly died during construction, and that the number of steps was equal to her age. Gaby points out that there are 135 steps. Illya tries to cover by claiming that the architect was 35 and his mother was 100, leading Gaby to ask if the woman had given birth at age sixty-five. Fortunately for Illya, he's saved from digging himself a deeper hole by Solo's arrival.



* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Victoria cheerfully sleeps with another man but when her husband [[spoiler: was killed and Solo deliberately tarnishes his name]], her BerserkButton was pressed and she threatened painful revenge.
* [[UsefulNotes/FascistItaly Fascist Italians]]: The villains are a family of Mussolini supporters who run a neo-fascist terrorist organization with the help of escaped Nazi war criminals.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Waverly is seen early at the Plaza Hotel, but not focused on as Solo is more concerned with the henchmen in the lobby. When [[spoiler:Gaby places a call to a room in the hotel that is neither hers nor Solo's, deduction would show she's calling Waverly, before TheReveal of her status as an agent]].

** In the intro, it's shown that Gaby is an ''excellent'' driver and surprisingly coolheaded under fire. [[spoiler:Which makes sense as she's herself an SIS operative]].

* BoxedCrook: Why Solo's in the CIA's employment; for all intents and purposes, he was a GentlemanThief with an exemplary war record who the CIA recognized as a natural for post-war espionage. Illya believes that Solo's continued excellence as a spy is the result of him trying to get some control over his life. Solo's first scene after the East Berlin mission is him trying to end his CIA employment, with his bosses bringing up his lengthy prison sentence that they're happy to force on him. Especially since they're fully aware that he hasn't actually reformed, they're just turning a blind eye to his thefts while he's useful to them.

* BookedFullOfMooks: Napoleon and Ilya meet at a West Berlin café with their CIA and KGB handlers to discuss the team-up. When the handlers leave, all the other patrons at the café leave too--they're all agents who took up the other tables to make sure the conversation remained confidential.
