-->'''Fiona:''' It seems this "man" - ''(To Corey and Tanya)'' Felix? ''(They nod)'' - he took Tanya for a ride in his car. ''(Gains a slight edge in her voice)'' And then he...attacked her. And she escaped, barely. ''(With a hint of pride)'' And then Corey went after him with a baseball bat.
-->'''Corey:''' I found her crying in the street. I just wanted to make sure he never tried to come back-
-->'''Fiona:''' No explanation necessary. Use a golf club next time; greater force to a smaller area.
-->''(Michael and Corey each give her an AsideGlance)''
** Noticeable is that when they first meet the two siblings Corey has an arm comfortingly around his little sister, especially while Fiona explains what's going on.

* BreakTheCutie: Poor Tanya. The incident with Felix clearly left her traumatized at least in the beginning. When they first meet Team Westen, she doesn't speak except to greet Michael, and she has her head down and leaning against Corey for support, with him giving her a one-armed hug, while Fiona explains what happened to her. She seems to get better at the end of the episode.

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Tony Soto alludes to this in his meeting with Michael, noting that while Felix has been a good earner, his recent string of bad luck plus the sheer disrespect Michael and his crew dropped on him has made Tony question whether or not it's worth keeping Felix around. Tricking Felix into almost killing Tony is the last straw.

* HollywoodLaw: Sam says the Pakistani Consulate is foreign soil. That's the popular belief, but not true. Diplomatic missions have various immunities and privileges, and the host country can't enter without permission, but it's not foreign soil and the host country's laws still apply.

* BadassArmy: Invoked by Team Westen as Johnny and his crew. Discussed in the spy note:
-->''There's a reason armies wear uniforms, even though they make them easier to spot. Sometimes, that's what you want. Uniforms suggest organization, power, and numbers. These, in turn, inspire fear. And any good operative knows, there's no more effective weapon than fear.''
