* DescentIntoAddiction: While it can be argued that Elliot was addicted to morphine before, we see him truly submit to the impulses after his stressful encounter with Tyrell. Elliot excuses his extra bumps as necessary because it is an "off day" but it slowly becomes a bigger habit as the episode goes on, with him even railing morphine before work. [[ChekovsGun This has consequences.]]

* DelayedOhCrap: Once Elliot has already hacked Tyrell's e-mail account and seen his Facebook profile, it dawns on him that that may have been what Tyrell wanted him to do. Elliot then proceeds to disassemble his rig and destroy all of the trackable devices in a panic.



* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Elliot is surprised when he sees that Tyrell has a wife and actually seems like a normal human being on his Facebook profile. So much so that it sends Elliot into a paranoid spiral, [[TheParanoiac believing that Tyrell ''wanted'' Eliot to hack him]].

* AloneWithThePsycho: The opening scene, in which Tyrell's lawyers are asked to leave him and Elliot alone in the room. For the whole encounter, Elliot cannot muster a single word as he comes face to face ([[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace quite literally]]) with the clearly unhinged businessman that was once affable and engaging to him previously. This is even before we realize [[PsychopathicManchild just ''how'' crazy]] Tyrell is.
