* AffablyEvil: Cayden James, despite being a ruthless hacker and possible OmnicidalManiac, proves to be a soft-spoken and polite man, addressing Black Siren and Felicity as "Ms. Lance" and "Ms. Smoak" respectively, and even ordering his men to be "as humane as possible" when they're about to execute Felicity and Alena. He also raises an objection (albeit a somewhat half-hearted one) when Black Siren unnecessarily kills a security guard.
* AmbiguousSituation: Since Cayden later admits that Felicity preventing the destruction of the Internet was part of his plan all along, it's left unclear if he actually did snap while in A.R.G.U.S. custody, particularly as he at least seems perfectly rational throughout the episode.

Whether "had" in this case means that they're dead (she previously said that Earth-2's Oliver is dead) or is just a reference to her being [[TrappedInAnotherWorld trapped on Earth-1]] is unclear.

* FauxAffablyEvil: Black Siren plays up the charm when interacting with her victims, whom she then ruthlessly murders. Adding to how vicious the act is, it's later revealed that killing them wasn't even necessary; all she needed was their fingerprints, but she killed them anyway, on the reasoning that a dead body is better than a living witness.
