* ManipulativeBitch: Veronica is revealed to be the murderer of Ellis Crane and goes to great lengths to ensure Lana takes the fall. This includes getting Shapiro to place Lana's fingerprints on the gun that shot Crane.

* AmbiguousEnding: The story behind the fake Veronica Deane from the first episode of the season and why she wanted the Longwater disc is never fully explained. Somewhat [[AvertedTrope averted]], though, as Veronica, while explaining her motive, hints that another party found out about her and Ellis' plan and was trying to blackmail them.

Added DiffLines:

* DisappointedByTheMotive: Archer, [[ManChild being Archer]], is more than a little disappointed to learn that Longwater was just a series of insurance scams rather than something sexual or outrageous. Considering the complexity of it all and the sheer amount of money the scheme would have made her, Veronica is incredulous of his reaction.


Added DiffLines:

* TheReveal: And a surprisingly complex one. The Longwater case introduced and discussed heavily since the start of the season was actually an insurance scam. Both Veronica and Ellis were working together to sabotage the production of ''Deadly Velvet'', as the amount of money put into making the film would have ultimately been double of what its expected box office revenue would be. So, they organized the accidents on the set in an effort to sabotage the film and collect the money. Ellis' murder was a retaliation on Veronica's part, as Ellis had earlier tried to have Veronica killed in one of the accidents so he could collect her share. As Cyril first suggests and Veronica later confirms, the scheme was far longer reaching, and comprised multiple other insurance scams. Stratton and Whitney, Archer's old schoolyard bullies, helped by manipulating stock markets to work in Veronica and Ellis' favor, and by the end of it all, Longwater would have produced ''millions'' of dollars.
