10	!! Tropes
11
12	* AbhorrentAdmirer: Milos to Petra.
13	* AsHerself: Music/BritneySpears as [[AdamWesting an over-the-top version]] of herself. She and Rogelio [[HistoryWithCelebrity have major beef]].
14	* FantasySequence: Several times, first when Jane imagines herself dancing to "Toxic" with Britney Spears.
15	* FriendshipMoment: Jane is genuinely concerned about Petra marrying Milos.
16	* IntoxicationEnsues: Xo and Alba eat a marijuana-laced chocolate bar right before they're supposed to go to an important meeting about Alba's citizenship.
17	* MamaDidntRaiseNoCriminal: This is Alba's reaction when she finds out that Xo's criminal charge as a teen didn't go away.
18	* MickeyMousing: Britney Spears and her troupe of backup dancers get this whenever they are on screen.
19	* NeverMyFault: When Michael is removed from his job, he attacks Rafael for turning him in instead of blaming himself for letting his [[DirtyCop partner]] escape in the first place.
20	* ShoutOut:
21	** Zed insists on being called "[[Series/GameOfThrones Jon Snow]]".
22	** Lots of references to ''Film/GreenCard'' around Milos and Petra's wedding (though technically it's not a CitizenshipMarriage; he says it's a "tax thing" and then it turns out that it's actually a weapons smuggling thing).
23	** The dialogue is sprinkled with lyrics and titles from Spears’s library
24	* SpousalPrivilege: Now that Milos and Petra are married, he can tell her that he's smuggling grenades into the country, because she's not allowed to testify about it.
