* CorruptedCharacterCopy: The episode is a WholePlotReference to ''Film/TheFastAndTheFurious'' movies, with Tommy Nix (played by Adam Rodriguez) serving as the Dominic Toretto stand-in, being a BadassDriver who is the leader of a group of close-knit car thieves. However, it is ultimately revealed that Tommy has absolutely none of Dom's positive characteristics. While Dom treated his gang like family and hated betrayal, Tommy murdered one of his gang for trying to go independent and let another one take the fall for his crime.

Late one night, a masked thief hijacks a white Lamborghini Murcielago and speeds away with it. Lassiter and Juliet manage to chase him for a few minutes, but he soon loses them. The thief is soon found a few blocks away with a bullet in his head. He is identified as Max Contreras, a major figure in underground street racing who has connections to a loan shark named Logan Paget. Logan never reported the vehicle being stolen, adding to the strangeness. Now, Shawn and Gus will have to infiltrate the dangerous world of underground street racing, figure out who killed Max, and see if they can catch up to who’s behind all this…

*BerserkButton: When Gina is arrested, Shawn has to think fast to keep it from being obvious he’s working with the cops. He quietly tells Lassiter Ronald Reagan was a terrible president, and Lassiter punches him to the floor on the spot.

*NitroBoost: Shawn hooks Henry’s truck up to some nitro canisters, letting him keep up with Tommy during their first street race. Tommy still wins, but by much less than anyone expected.
*PunkInTheTrunk: [[spoiler: Tommy stuffs Gus in his car trunk while taking him hostage.]]
*ScarsAreForever: Gina was in an accident that damaged her right hand. She can no longer use her pointer and middle finger, and some skin on that hand is clearly scar tissue.
