* DumbassHasAPoint: Shiv pointing out the unlikelihood of even Static being able to break Talon out of major lockdown.
* MultitaskedConversation: Richie refuses Ebon's demand to contact Static, but his communicator is still on. Richie instead actively describes the hideout's location, framing it as how Static would never want to set foot in this dump. By the time Ebon discovers the communicator, Static is already well on his way there.
* TheScapegoat: Averted, as Virgil doesn't begrudge Richie in the slightest for the views of his father. Richie is rather surprised, as he wouldn't have blamed Virgil if he did.

* MissingStepsPlan: Ebon kidnaps Richie after finding out he is friends with Static, and plans to hold him hostage until Static can return Talon to them. Shiv points out that Talon is under major lockdown, so there's no way Static can even get to her, but Ebon dismisses that as "Static's problem", and Richie's too by extension.
