- Broken Pedestal: While Wes has been pushing back against Mr. Collins' board meetings and deals before, it's seeing his father's disregard for the children in danger (except where the press can benefit him) that gets him to move out.
- Calling the Old Man Out: Wes pushes back against Mr. Collins for his refusal to help the children, but it's what he says before leaving the mansion for good that really do this.Wes: All your business and all your plans. I'm gonna make my own future now. [walks away]
- Chekhov's Gag: After Nadira unfreezes a mutant, out walks one without a head. She and Ransik wonder if she somehow screwed up the procedure, but this is just set up Tentaclaw's head-detaching gimmick.
- Cruel to Be Kind: How Mr. Collins views taking away the kids' baseball, after it hit his limo. Naturally, Wes disagrees and hands it back over the first chance he gets.
- Detachment Combat: Tentaclaw possesses the ability to separate his head from the rest of his body and puts it to use in battle.
- Friendship Moment: The other Rangers quickly welcome Wes into the watchtower.
- Guile Hero: With the busload of children being held ransom for ten million dollars and his father refusing to pay it directly, Wes instead "borrows" a signed and endorsed check for that amount from a business deal, giving him the cash for the ransom. Later, he takes advantage of his father being surrounded by reporters to strong-arm him into donating his newly-recovered ten million to charity. Given that he's been groomed to take over BioLabs his whole life, he'd know a thing or two about money and public image.

- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Wes decides to leave his mansion home and stay at the watchtower with the other Rangers.
- Slave to PR: How Wes is able to force his father into donating the $10 million to charity. With all those reporters and cameramen in his mansion, Mr. Collins has no choice but to force a smile over this.
- Would Hurt a Child: Even though Nadira got her money, she tries to have the kids killed anyway. Before, while waiting for the ransom, Gluto wanted to eat the kids but Nadira told him not yet.
