Knuckles and Wade finally arrive in Reno for the tournament… and to confront Wade’s estranged father.
- Hostage for MacGuffin: The episode ends with the agents forcing Wade to bring them Knuckles in exchange for Wendy and Wanda’s lives.
- Motive Rant: Agent Willoughby convinces the Buyer to give her and Mason another chance by revealing how she joined G.U.N after Sonic and Robotnik’s battle in San Francisco to battle aliens, only to be “betrayed” when the organization decided to trust Sonic and his fellow aliens and let them live in peace in Green Hills.
- Parental Betrayal: Pistol Pete sells out Wade and his family to the agents, with barely any convincing.
- Take That!: One of the commentators calls bowling the "poor man's baseball".
- You Have Failed Me: The Buyer is prepared to dispose of Willoughby and Mason for failing to capture Knuckles, but reconsiders when Willoughby explains that she has a vested personal interest in seeing Knuckles disposed of after G.U.N. reassigned her to observing him and his friends rather than destroy them to protect the human race. The Buyer, sympathizing with her because Knuckles and company were responsible for his boss Robotnik's disappearance, opts to give her and Mason another chance, albeit amending their deal so that his payment to them would be allowing them to live.
