* DestroyTheSecurityCamera: Discussed and then averted. Upon observing the truly ridiculous number of cameras at Fortune 500, Jerry asks if Rick could simply disable all of them. Rick responds that he ''could'', but his obvious sabotage would raise an alert. Instead, they go incognito.

* ProphecyArmor: The fortune cookies, once consumed, guarantee the outcome written on the paper and will bend fate to make sure that outcome comes to pass. Rick exploits this by using Jerry as a human shield, knowing bullets will actively avoid hitting him, and Jennith gave herself an unattainable goal that both makes her incredibly successful and unstoppable.

Rick defeats the latter by stealing enough money to buy her company and make her prophecy come true (then immediately steals it back to spite her), and simply makes a new fortune for Jerry to negate the first.

* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: One of the guards who equips themselves with a fortune is merely given the power to stick to walls. Rick just smacks his body against a wall to incapacitate him, sparing him out of pity for getting a dud. It seemingly turns into HeartIsAnAwesomePower when a black hole sucks everything in while the guard remains stuck to the wall....[[YankTheDogsChain only for his internal organs to be sucked out of his body.]] Even Rick thinks this was a pretty horrific fate.

* BulletproofHumanShield: Rick grabs Jerry and uses him as a shield against the guards because Jerry's unresolved fate makes him unkillable until it's fulfilled. Played straight with a guard who has been granted immortality, but none of the RequiredSecondaryPowers. The bullets should have still gone straight through him and into Rick.

Again, destroying 500 cameras cannot be considered a simple solution versus the option of disguise. it's would just be more convenient to Jerry.


* SimpleSolutionWontWork: When Rick notes the massive amounts of surveillance at the Fortune 500 [=HQ=], Jerry asks if Rick can take out the cameras. Rick replies that he ''could'', but having hundreds of cameras go out at once would be just as attention-grabbing as being spotted, so it's easier to just wear disguises.

* TheLittleDetecto: Rick brings out a device he uses to claim that Jerry's fortune needs investigating to get him out of being forced to go to the Zoo by the rest of the family. Rick then turns it on at Jerry's request and learns [[RealAfterAll he really is fated to have sex with his mom]], but tests it further to make sure. He later explains it measures aberratioms along probability waves, and does a baseline reading of himself that says he's just as likely to poop a balloon as he is to become a dolphin.
