!!List of tropes applying to this episode:

* AndroclesLion: White starts following [=McManus=] around like a puppy after he says he won't give up on him, even giving up drugs to please him. It ends badly when he attacks Guerra after he insults [=McManus=] and kills one of the Latinos in the process.
* AssholeVictim:
** Supreme Allah dies of an allergic reaction to the eggs Hill out in his food.
** Galson gets killed by Morales when he crushes him with an elevator.
* BaitAndSwitch:
** The whole AllJustADream sequence where Beecher is paroled and leaves Oz seems like a definitive ending to his character arc and the series as a whole. It turns out to be, well, a dream, and his parole is rejected.
** Connolly's bomb turned out to be a dud.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Hill flat-out murders Supreme Allah by poisoning him.
* BolivianArmyCliffhanger: DoubleSubverted. The episode ''looks'' like it's going to end with Connolly's bomb detonating, but it turns out to be a dud. ''Then'' the kitchen explodes because O'Reily left the gas on.
* BuriedAlive: Kirk and the Bikers entomb Cloutier in the kitchen walls.
* DespairEventHorizon: Beecher just shuts down after his parole is rejected.
--> '''Beecher:''' Fucking Oz…
* DisproportionateRetribution: Schillinger tries to have Beecher killed and reignites their feud because he didn't say he was up for parole.
* DownerEnding: Beecher's parole is rejected and he crosses the DespairEventHorizon, Schillinger gives up on his redemption entirely, [[TheBadGuyWins Kirk wins his battle for control of the Christians against Cloutier]], Said gives in to his anger, and Oz is ravaged by an accidental gas explosion.
* HeelFaceTurn: O'Reily, of all people. He admits his faults and helps stop Connolly's bombing out of genuine benevolent intent.
* {{Irony}}: O'Reily pulls out all the stops to stop Connolly's bombing, only to accidentally cause another explosion when he leaves the gas on in the kitchen, which ignites when a CO lights a cigarette.
* KickTheDog: Kirk and Hoyt taunt Cloutier while they entomb him.
* MassOhCrap: Everyone panics when they realize Connolly has a bomb he fully intends to detonate.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Beecher's well-meaning advice to Said to "embrace his inner Adebisi" results in Said becoming a raging berserker.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Cloutier joins his followers on the work detail to prove he isn't above them after Kirk calls him out on his cushy position. Instead, it turns out Kirk had done it so the Bikers could get him alone and entomb him in a wall.
* PreMortemOneLiner: Morales gives one right before killing Galson.
--> '''Morales:''' Be all you can be!
* SanitySlippage: Hughes goes full-on batshit crazy after spending too much time in solitary, now believing himself to be 'Gamba Khufu', leader of the Republic of Huru.
