* BittersweetEnding: Leans on the "sweet" part rather than "bitter", but the whole effort was pointless due to Zacharis' dossier containing only the postcards of various idols. Loid is understandabily disappointed, but the only thing keeping this from getting AllForNothing is that the proof that nothing in the dossier could re-ignite war, as Sylvia puts it.

* NerdHoard: This is the nature of the Zacharis dossier - his collection of theatre starlet photos. He's a fan of musical theatres and their actresses[[note]]the equivalent of {{Idol Singer}}s in this 1950s-inspired universe[[/note]], but his wife is disgusted with this hobby of his (which is justified, given he's at least middle-aged and is a prominent government official) and ordered him to throw away his collection, which he responded by hiding the stash with the archives of the Ostanian intelligence, ending up [[GossipEvolution causing a rumour that it contains material that would restart a war]].

Added DiffLines:

Along with his agent co-worker, Fiona Frost, Twilight must enter an underground tennis tournament in an attempt to recover the Zacharis Dossier, rumored to "reignite the flames of war," before the government of Ostania does. Meanwhile, Yor struggles with her insecurities and worries about Loid's "lover."

* BecomingTheMask: Fiona is surprised seeing Twilight becoming more and more "human" with his interactions with Yor and Anya, quietly chiding him for going against what he taught her as her mentor.
* BittersweetEnding: Leans on the "sweet" part rather than "bitter", but the whole effort was pointless due to Zacharis' dossier containing only the postcards of various idols.

* LaserGuidedKarma: Loid's efforts to HoneyTrap Yor leads to a kick to the chin so intense Loid passes out for some time.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: Fiona ''is'' a capable athlete, as the arc demonstrated, but she might as well be a novice in front of Yor's sheer strength.
* SeriousBusiness: The underground tennis tournament is pretty ''intense'' in order to win in tennis, to put it mildly.
* SoProudOfYou: The Campbelldon boss is proud of his son deciding to train in tennis after losing to Loid and Fiona, while his assistant is horrified seeing his losses at the betting.
* TrainingFromHell: Anya tries to sabotage Fiona replacing Yor as the Forger matriarch after seeing Fiona literally whip her into shape so that Anya gets more Stellas quickly.
