* ChainsawGood: Damascian once built a chainsword, but it was destroyed in a battle against Lung. She still considers it more on-theme than the possibility of a lightsaber.

* EvilPowerVacuum: Despite Taylor's hopes, breaking the other gangs isn't the end of problems; the Elite see it as an opportunity to move in.

* SeriousBusiness: Listening to the chorus argue and trade votes over the next week's meals makes Taylor momentarily wish for the old simplicity of just eating a fast food burrito -- at which the voices all unite in horror.
--> Fast food burritos were a sin against nature and all she stood for.

* CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon: When someone on PHO speculates about the likelihood of Weaver raiding an ABB brothel and kidnapping the girls for the Teeth, Vex ridicules the idea by pointing out that several Butchers have been female and wouldn't take kindly to any such thing.
--> '''Vex:''' Sex crimes are a great way to find out how many bees fit into your lungs. The answer is: 'more than you think!'

* TamperingWithFoodAndDrink: Judging by the clearly visible Nazi imagery, and the waiter's reaction to two girls kissing, Taylor fully expects the restaurant to spike their drinks in some way. Honestly, [[{{Troll}} she was counting on it]].
--> Sure enough, the waiter wasted no time grabbing dirty glasses for us before filling them with tea and cola respectively. Then he added something to each glass and I couldn't help but sigh since the show part of the date was going to come well before dinner. Pity, the steak they had grilling in the back smelled amazing to my bugs.

* DeadlyEuphemism: The Teeth don't often recruit Thinkers, possibly because thinking isn't really their forte. Stratego did make an attempt, picking one up in New York, but Crackpot apparently couldn't keep his mouth shut, and died two weeks later from "lead poisoning".

** Chrissie loudly talks about a rumour that the Empire 88 brought bags of bugs to school to give the Teeth a bad name. In reality, of course, the bug attacks really are coming from the Teeth, specifically from Weaver (and bringing in bugs from outside would be pointless when she could control them all).

Added DiffLines:

* BigFancySword: The Butcher's ten-foot-long sword (or rather, Sword) is so heavy that their full strength, including Knockout's force fields, is needed to wield it. Thanks to Damascian's Tinkering, it's also sharp enough to cut through reinforced concrete in a single swing. Quarrel wasn't impressed by it, preferring her power to fight at range, but most of the Butchers love it.
--> '''Damascian:''' While it might be too impractical to wield in a fight, it certainly does not lack presence or style!

* SuccessAsRevenge: Part of what sends Taylor back to her dad, instead of living with the Teeth full time, is knowing that the heroes don't believe she's capable of staying sane and living a normal life -- and after what they pulled, she doesn't want to let them win.
--> They didn't believe me about much of anything as far as I could tell, and while I hoped they would never be in a position to know my secret identity, every day that Taylor Hebert was still under cover was another day I proved them wrong.
