* ConsultingAConvictedKiller: Agents J and K visit him in captivity to ask him about a case suspiciously similar to one he had solved, prior to him turning rogue. K gets tired of Alpha's mind games, but J is much more optimistic, especially since all Alpha wants is for the agents to play chess with him while they question him. Alpha's information proves helpful, [[spoiler:primarily because Alpha is actually partners with the alien criminals]], and J decides to thank Alpha by giving him a children's electronic chess game to pass his time in prison. K figures out much too late that this was all a massive ruse and, sure enough, Alpha uses the electronics inside the toy to escape prison.
