* When Kara meets Zlatko, she nods to his question "Deviant, huh?". Then he looks towards Alice and asks "What about her?", and Kara takes a moment to look at her before answering she's human.
** When Zlatko first sees Kara at the door, he tries to turn her away. She begs him for help, and Zlatko notices Alice and lets them in, making it seem like he was sympathetic to the little girl. In reality, he didn't recognize Kara as an android because of her changed appearance, but he ''did'' recognize Alice because she looks exactly like the other female [=YK500=] androids.
* Zlatko refers to Alice as "it" on several occasions. This is easily missed on account of the situation.

** And if Kara was discovered and Connor ran after them, Connor will later ask Hank why he attempted to stop him from crossing the highway "when [they] were chasing ''those deviants''". It's easy to miss at first, but upon a second playthrough it all makes sense.
