- Asshole Victim: The people who kill Tomas almost certainly don't have good intentions toward Helena, but he was such an asshole that it's difficult not to cheer his death.
- The Chessmaster: Mrs. S. is behind Kira's disappearance, though she did it to protect her. She trashed her own house to confuse anyone looking for them and ran to a safehouse in the woods. Eventually, she leads Sarah to the hideout and reunites them. She has a network of friends called the Birdwatchers, who had helped her bring Sarah from the UK years ago. The man seen with Kira early in the episode is one of them.

- The Confidant: Art joins Clone Club.
- Deadpan Snarker: Cosima's particularly cheeky this episode.
- Feed the Mole: Alison and Felix try this on Donnie. It works.

- Gossipy Hens: The other housewives gossip about Alison at Aynsley's funeral because she slept with Chad, Aynsley's husband.
- I Need a Freaking Drink: Alison's drinking habits continue.
- Mama Bear: Mrs. S. is not amused when she finds out the people she was working with are collaborating with the Prolethians, thereby putting Sarah and Kira in danger. She swiftly kills them.

- My God, What Have I Done?: Alison greatly regrets letting Aynsley die.
- Pay Evil unto Evil: See above under Mama Bear
- Self-Harm: Tomas whips himself for his failure.
- Screw the Rules, I Have Connections!: Daniel uses this trope to threaten Art into letting him go but Art ignores him. It's later mentioned that he made good on his threats.
- Trail of Bread Crumbs: The man who took Kira, later revealed to be one of Mrs. S's Birdwatchers, leaves one for Sarah in order to trap and kidnap her.
- Truth in Television: Helena survived being shot in the chest because her heart was on the right side of her rib-cage, a condition that can occur in real life.
