History Recap / ArcherS8E4Ladyfingers

While Archer tries obtaining a finger as part of a ransom, Kreiger sets to work on Dutch Dylan.

* AdaptationalHeroism: Krieger of all people. While still a mad-scientist who had Nazi ties, here he's a Jewish Scientist who deliberately trolled the Nazi's with a Robo-Soldier program he sabotaged by killing off their human candidates and claiming they died of system shock so they would waste resources, thinking his only success was his cat. It wasn't.

* BlackComedyBurst: Kreiger having the cyborg dogs maul the nurse to death isn't ''too'' beyond the norm for the series, but it manages to stand out by being the punchline to a three minute scene that's otherwise played completely straight.

* UnwillingRoboticisation: Dutch is completely against the robot parts. Until he wakes up and has gone insane like his counterpart Barry anyway.

* AllForNothing: After all the hassle to obtain a finger from a corpse, Cecil just decides that he doesn't need to see it, as he trusts Archer to have gone through it.
* AllGermansAreNazis: DoubleSubverted. Dr. Krieger turns out to not only not be a Nazi, but to be a Jew working under a fake identity in order to sabotage NaziSuperscience and waste resources. The nurse who loved him, however, plays the trope straight -- she's disgusted to find out his true identity, rather dying to the Russians than to join him. She instead dies to his dogs.

* AbsenteeActor: Lana does not appear, for the first time in the show's entire run.

* MercyKill: Although it isn't depicted as such, Kreiger killing the nurse could be seen as this - Russians weren't ''exactly'' kind to their Nazi prisoners.

* {{Jerkass}}: Archer picks up a homeless person promises to take him to the bus stop then dumps him outside of the Vandertunt mansion
** Cecil see {{Troll}} and AllForNothing plus his overall lack off concern for Charlotte's (Cheryl's) well being
* OnlySaneMan: Surprisingly Archer though aside from assuring Cheryl (Charlotte) kept her finger it didn't accomplish much.
