* KickTheSonOfABitch: Gregory offers Simon some gin that was scavenged, as Simon previously shot down his seeming offer of scotch claiming that he loved gin. Here, Simon insists that he now enjoys tequila. It's pretty clear that Simon is just fucking with Gregory to watch him shamelessly try to kiss his feet and get on his good side.

* MythologyGag: Rosita tells Sasha that before she met Abraham, a lot of men tried to shelter and protect her from the apocalypse, so she rolled with it in order to pick up skills from each companion - and that having sex with them was a bonus. It's almost an exact translation of Comic! Rosita's backstory, only due to TV! Rosita being an AdaptationalBadass, she didn't have sex with men for protection like her comic counterpart did.

** At the end of the episode, Rosita sees [[spoiler:Dwight]] outside the Sanctuary. He is only seen from behind, leaving it somewhat ambiguous whether he is Dwight or Daryl. This is likely a reference to one of the covers for Issue 129, which featured Dwight from behind and joked that Daryl was being introduced to the comics.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: While it didn't go as Rosita had thought it would, her spur of the moment decision to "rescue" Eugene from the Saviours compound would have undoubtedly had dire consequences for Alexandria, given the way the Saviours reacted to Daryl's escape, when he was much less of an asset then to Negan than Eugene is currently.

* VillainousBreakdown: Eugene, who is growing more and more comfortable with his role as Negan's lackey, is visibly disturbed, clearly forced to confront the knowledge that he has joined the murderer of his friends to save his own ass, when Rosita and Sasha show up and tell him to flee.

* BadassGay: Jesus confirms in this episode that he is gay, as he was in the comics.



** Simon reveals Harlan that Emmett, who turns out to be Harlan's brother, is dead. Negan killed Emmett in "Hostiles and Calamities".


Added DiffLines:

** Much like The Governor back in Season 3's "This Sorrowful Life", Sasha is unable to snipe Negan from afar due to characters literally walking into the crossfire to inadvertently protect him (though this time, Sasha is stopped when Eugene and Carson both block her shot, as opposed to Woodbury soldiers taking the shot for The Governor).
* DeathSeeker: Both Sasha and Rosita display fatalistic behavior as they prepare for their assault. Sasha begins to cool towards the plot when Jesus and Enid tell her that Maggie will still need her, but eventually, she goes for a one-woman assault on the compound which is almost certainly a death sentence.
* HeroicSacrifice: Sasha stops Rosita from joining her in the assault on Negan, claiming that the group needs her and that it's not her time.


Added DiffLines:

* LukeIAmYourFather: This episode confirms for viewers who were unaware of their connection in the comics that Dr. Harlan and Emmett Carson were brothers.


Added DiffLines:

* PetTheDog: Much like how Negan treated Eugene, Simon is pretty friendly to Dr. Carson and tries to entice him with promises of ice cream and lavish treatment at the Sanctuary.

!Season 7, Episode 14

-->'''While the Saviors conscript Dr. Carson, Sasha and Rosita enact their plot to assassinate Negan.'''

----
* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Gregory's popularity in Hilltop is sharply declining thanks to Maggie's more positive, constructive leadership and especially after he does almost nothing to stop Simon from taking Dr. Carson.
* TheBusCameBack: Maggie, Enid, Jesus, Simon and Gregory appear after last appearing in "Rock in the Road"; the same for Negan and Eugene since "Hostiles and Calamities".
* CallBack:
** Daryl left the Kingdom for the Hilltop at the end of "New Best Friends".
** Glenn and Abraham's deaths in the season premiere are discussed by Daryl, Maggie, Sasha, and Rosita.
** Sasha had asked Jesus to find the Sanctuary in "Go-Getters". It was also in that episode that Gregory learned Simon was a "gin man" (though his new love for tequila just to fuck with Gregory calls that into question).
** Eugene joined the Saviors and Negan killed Emmett Carson in "Hostiles and Calamities", and thus extracts his brother Harlan to come work at the Sanctuary.
* ContinuityNod:
** Rosita and Sasha work through their differences caused by the fallout of Abraham cruelly dumping the former in Season 6.
** Rosita mentions how Abraham was impressed by her skills as an ActionGirl when they met in Dallas, a story she told Glenn and Tara back in Season 5's "Crossed".
* ImpliedDeathThreat: Gregory implies that if Jesus does not split up Maggie and the Alexandrians, he will alert the Saviors to their presence. Jesus understands the implication and calls him out on it.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Discussed. Rosita tells Sasha that she intended to tell Abraham that she was at least happy that he had found happiness with Sasha.
* MythologyGag: Rosita tells Sasha that before she met Abraham, a lot of men tried to shelter and protect her from the apocalypse, so she rolled with it in order to pick up skills from each companion - and that having sex with them was a bonus. It's almost an exact translation of Comic! Rosita's backstory, only due to TV! Rosita being an AdaptationalBadass, she didn't have sex with men for protection like her comic counterpart did.
* PartingWordsRegret: Rosita and Abraham never fully made peace before the latter's death, which has caused a lot of problems for the former this season. Rosita, for her part, regrets not getting the chance to tell him she was happy he had found happiness with someone else.
* RedemptionRejection: Eugene refuses to escape the Sanctuary with Rosita and Sasha, can barely form a sentence, and retreats into the compound.
