** It’s implied that Cassian’s adopted father, Clem, was hanged by the Empire for simply being close to some rabble who threw stones at the Imperial Clone Troopers marching through the streets of Ferrix. Made worse by the fact [[ShootTheShaggyDog he was trying to stop them from making trouble]].

Made worse by the fact [[ShootTheShaggyDog he was trying to stop them from making trouble]].
* DivideAndConquer: Dedra realizes the Rebels are purposefully conducting operations over multiple Imperial sectors, realizing that the ISB's people in charge of them are very jealous over control, with great reluctant to share information so they aren't connecting the dots, which weakens or even prevents an effective response. She works to counteract this upon spotting their strategy, despite it infuriating Blevin.



* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Cassian's survival habits unfortunately backfire when they draw the suspicion of a shore trooper, who promptly has him detained and shuffled off to a KangarooCourt.

Cassian's survival habits unfortunately backfire when they draw the suspicion of a shore trooper, who promptly has him detained and shuffled off to a KangarooCourt.



* LiteralMinded: When the shore trooper hassling Cassian gets pulled away to deal with some actual malcontents, he instructs a nearby KX security droid to hang onto him. The droid fixates on the word “hang”, and proceeds to [[NeckLift lift Cassian by his neck]]. Fortunately there’s a wall behind Cassian that he’s able to hold onto to keep pressure off his neck, so as to not cause any lasting damage.
* MoodWhiplash: The episode cuts from Dedra receiving what sounds like a threat from her boss to a sunny beach resort and a gratuitously [[ShirtlessScene shirtless]] Cassian in a hotel room with his latest girlfriend, whom he seems to have bedded the previous night.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Luthen reveals this side of himself as he admits that the true purpose of the Aldhani heist, even beyond the immediate benefit of the tens of millions of credits, was to prod the Empire into cracking down even harder on the galaxy in order to further foment rebellion. He also sees no issue with [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness ordering a hit on Cassian]] as he realizes that [[HeKnowsTooMuch he's a loose end]].

to:

* VastBureaucracy: Syril ends up working in the Bureau of Standars as simply another office drone among what looks like ''thousands'' in a massive room, last seen looking unhappily around in his cubicle.
* WeAreStrugglingTogether: Dedra cottons on to the fact that the Rebels are exploiting the fact that the ISB's supervisors manage different sectors in the Empire but are very uncooperative with each other, refusing to pass on information unless compelled. They cleverly steal Imperial equipment across different sectors so most ISB personnel won't connect it. Only by going outside normal channels is Dedra made aware of this, and still must do it going against supervisor Blevin, her rival (he promptly attempts to stop her). A {{vast bureaucracy}} in the Empire coupled with personnel caring more to one up each other than fight the Rebels likely aids the Rebellion more than anything else.

* YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters: The ISB refers to the Rebel raid on Aldhani as a "terror attack", and the Rebels generally as "terrorists".

** This also happens to Blevin when he publicly calls out Dedra for her behavior, claiming that she's effectively gone rogue. Dedra fires back, saying that she legally obtained information proving her earlier theory that rebels are staging heists as part of a larger coordinated effort. Instead of Dedra being reprimanded, Major Partagaz applauds her initiative and gives her command over one of Blevin's sectors to help her investigation.

* RefugeInAudacity: Meero's response to Blevin's accusations is ''made'' of this trope, with her even stating that systems must "change or die" in earshot of other Imperial bigwigs. Luckily for her, [[BenevolentBoss Partagaz's]] appreciation for outside-the-box thinking means she gets away with it, at least for now.

* CallForward: BatmanGambit: It turns out, the entire Aldhani heist was one Luthen himself came up with. By pulling off the heist successfully, he knew The Empire would react so poorly to this minor crime and start clamping down on all civil rights galaxy-wide--giving much more ammunition to the Rebellion's cause and painting Palpatine in a much worse light. Mon Mothma is stunned he would stoop to such an apparent low, but he points out that he did warn her.
* CallForward:
** When Mon Mothma figures out Luthen pulled the Aldhani heist as part of a BatmanGambit to get The Empire riled up and start clamping down on everyone's rights to give the Rebels more reason to fight back, she's horrified at such a dubious tactic. Come ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'', this would be her same position on Saw Gerrera and his partisans for their more extremist methods in fighting The Empire.

Cassian is one such person affected, as he's arrested for simply ''going to the grocery store'' on trumped-up charges of anti-Imperial conspiracy (though his demeanor in trying to avoid being recognized didn't help matters).
