* {{Foreshadowing}}: Bradley's insistence that Selim will never be a weak point to use against him (when Roy threatens blackmail). In the context of this episode, it's underscoring Wrath's complete control and self-confidence, and how Mustang's threats mean ''nothing'' to him. Over a dozen episodes later, however, we find out why Bradley ''really'' wasn't worried about Selim being used against him: because Selim is ''also'' one of the Homunculi] (and is ''much'' more dangerous than Wrath).

* BigEater: A minor plot point. Ling's room service when he was staying with Ed is used to confirm he is the genuine article and not Envy in disguise.

* FrameUp: Envy didn't just pose as a Amestrian soldier who 'accidentally' triggered the Ishvalan Civil War by shooting a child. What makes it an especially cruel frame-up is that Envy ''also'' specifically posed as an Officer who was a noted moderate and who had always publicly opposed the Ishvalan Occupation. Envy's frame-up left this officer no plausible defense and they court-martialed him.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When Envy explains to Ed and Ling that Gluttony's stomach is a PocketDimension with no exit, leaving waiting for death the only option, they speak in a TranquilFury tone, which is very unusual for Envy. Coming from a PsychopathicManchild who [[{{Sadist}} loves to inflict suffering on humans]] and [[EvilGloating gloat]] [[{{Troll}} about their atrocities to anyone who will pay attention]], Envy for once is being deadly serious. Of course, once Ed mentions that he suspects the Homunculi are connected to the Ishvalan War of Extermination, Envy immediately reverts to their usual self (see WhamLine below).

* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: When Ed and Ling find each other, both try this, understandably suspicious that either one of them could be Envy in disguise. Ling is able to prove he's the genuine article by casually suggesting he could name [[BigEater every item of food he ordered from Ed's room service]]. In the same vein, Ling is able to test if Ed is the real deal by calling him small, and Ed (in true fashion) angrily snaps at the young prince for calling him that.
