Archer is faced with a dilemma when his murdered fiancée, Katya, miraculously reappears in Krieger's lab.
This episode provides examples of:
- Berserk Button: Katya becomes furious whenever hearing Barry's name and mentions trying to kill him. Ultimately subverted when they have sex in the dark and get together.
- Birds of a Feather: Katya and Barry are both cyborgs. This is the whole excuse Katya uses to ditch Archer for Barry.
- Big "NO!": Archer, when he discovers Katya's vagina in the sink.
- Call-Back: Archer and his issues while wearing night vision goggles with light shining on his face come back to hurt him.
- Disturbed Doves: Archer yelling upon discovering Katya's vagina in the sink causes a bunch of pigeons outside to fly away.
- Downer Ending: Provided again courtesy of Barry, as he and Katya wind up banging and she leaves Archer.
- Glowing Mechanical Eyes: Katya's eyes now glow red. Archer finds it so distracting he asks her to close them during sex.
- Groin Attack: Archer having sex to Katya brings back bad childhood memories of him trying to use a vacuum cleaner for a blowjob, with predictable results.
- Ironic Echo: Archer banged Barry's girlfriend back at ODIN HQ. In ISIS HQ, Barry does the same with Katya.
- Running Gag: Archer gets blinded by light while wearing night vision goggles on again.
- Shout-Out: The scene of Barry and Katya, having just eloped from Katya's engagement to Archer, gradually shifting from glowing smiles to looks of uncertainty and sadness, is one to The Graduate.
- Squick: In-Universe. Archer has this reaction when he discovers Katya's robogina in his bathroom's sink and faints (much more because Woodhouse personally gets ready to clean it). Later, Archer actually comes to terms to enjoy it.
- Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: As a young boy, Archer used a vacuum with a pierced photo of a woman to give himself a blowjob. It hurt like hell...but it prepared him for Katya.
- We Can Rebuild Him: Krieger has rebuilt Katya as a cyborg.
