!!This episode contains examples of the following tropes:
* AndThatsTerrible: a downplayed, comedic example from Johnny.
-->'''Johnny''': Aw, c'mon, that's just evil. You can't just go and make a guy's nose itch!
* BrokeEpisode: This comes into play a bit, and the Four get regular jobs -- Ben as a garbage man, Susan as a children's entertainer, Johnny as a Scout coach, and Reed as a school teacher.
* ChekhovsGun: Remember that device Reed said he "just felt like building" at the beginning of the episode? It's an amplifier for the Puppet Master's powers.
* ClearTheirName: Reed intends to let his teammates be the good, compliant rogues while he goes on the hunt for who framed them, making himself TheScapegoat.
* ComplainingAboutRescuesTheyDontLike: Johnny, when it turns out a side effect of the device amplifying their powers (and hence disrupting the Puppet Master's control) is itching.
* DroppingTheBombshell:
** The Puppet Master shocks Susan, Johnny, and Ben by declaring, "For weeks now, I have been whispering into the mind of my most powerful pawn, the smartest man on earth!"
** Reed returns the surprise when the amplified Puppet Master orders him to destroy the others: "Never!"
* TheEndOrIsIt: Subverted. The Puppet Master sits in a jail cell, then takes out some clay from his false teeth...only for them to float out of his grasp -- courtesy of an invisible Susan, who winks and says, "Nice try."
* FallenOnHardTimesJob
* [[WeAreEverywhere I Am Everywhere]]: Said by the Puppet Master out of dozens of mouths at once.
* InconvenientItch: a side effect of the amplifier.
* MundaneUtility: Susan uses her powers to gets revenge on a couple of women who are cattily commenting on how far she's fallen -- she turns them invisible.
* MythologyGag: Reed confronting a group of cows, which then turn into Skrulls. One encounter with the Skrulls ended with them agreeing to turn into cows and be brainwashed to forget that they had shapeshifting powers.
* NoSell: the FF's reaction to the Puppet Master's amplified mind control powers.
* PeoplePuppets: the Puppet Master's specialty.
* SequelEpisode: to "Puppet Master".
* SpeakInUnison: Done by the Puppet Master to taunt Susan, Ben, and Johnny.
