  • Cool Old Guy: Lumpy doesn't flinch when Darby threatens him, instead calmly telling him that he's not going anywhere.
  • Dirty Coward: Shepard, one of the new prospects, hides from the view and runs away from Lumpy's gym scared after Salazar shoots it up and sends his message to Lumpy, leaving his kutte and gun at Teller-Morrow.
  • Dirty Cop: Jimmy O hired a squad of Irish police officers to stop SAMCRO and bring them back to California. Fortunately, this doesn't work out for them.

  • Good Girls Avoid Abortion: Lyla asks Tara to direct her to an abortion clinic, claiming that's going to hinder her career and that Opie can't to let go of Donna yet. Tara contemplates going through the abortion herself.
  • Female Gaze: Trinity can't help but admire Jax's physique during his bare knuckle fight with O'Neill, unaware that he is her half-brother.
  • Noodle Incident: Whatever happened between Tig and Kozik eight years ago that had "at least one vagina involved" caused their relationship to deteriorate.
  • Variations on a Theme Song: The show's title theme is given a distinctly Irish flavor in this episode, with tin whistles and guitars.
