!!Tropes in this episode:
* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: [[spoiler:By the end of the episode, the conspirators have planted a van filled with explosives in the parking garage of the Hoover Building -- the headquarters of the FBI.]]
* AngerBornOfWorry: Forstell gets enraged at a Coast Guard technician in Delaware who heard a distress call from Agent Wells on the freighter but [[LostInTransmission did not realize]] she was a missing FBI agent until the next day, by which time the ship could be ''anywhere''.
* CaliforniaDoubling: Averted. The NATO summit is hosted in {{Toronto}}, where the series is itself filmed. A number of establishing shots make a point of showing the city's landmarks.

* DeadHandShot: Of sorts. Lozano visits Wells in her shipping container aboard the freighter, and gives her Jason Atwood's ring as a measure of {{revenge}} after the death of Peter [=MacLeish=], who Lozano saw as "family".[[note]]Atwood's [[NeverFoundTheBody body is never seen]], but Lozano must have pried the ring off of him.[[/note]]
* DistressCall: After escaping her shipping container, Agent Wells manages to get one of these to the Coast Guard in Delaware, but the [[LostInTransmission transmission is garbled]] and the Coast Guard doesn't know or realize enough to alert Forstell right away. [[YankTheDogsChain Then Wells is promptly recaptured.]]
* HeKnowsTooMuch: [[BigBad Patrick Lloyd]] and [[TheMole Jay Whitaker]] realize this about Abe Leonard when the journalist links the FalseFlagOperation with Al-Sakar to [[TheDragon Nestor Lozano]] by name in his story. They certainly fed him information, but it was never ''that'' accurate.
* InstantSedation: The tranquilizer used by the conspirators must be ''really'' potent to knock Wells out in seconds (again).
* InternalReveal: Abe Leonard publishes his story on the Capitol bombing, and Kirkman subsequently confirms the truth to both Alex and Secretary Moss.
* KarmaHoudini:
** [[TheMole Whitaker]] continues to be this, as he eludes Ritter and Russink to keep his allegiance to TheConspiracy a secret.
** Lozano is able to depart the conspirators' freighter [[spoiler:and plant a bomb in the FBI's Hoover Building]] before Forstell and his agents show up, board the ship, and arrest the crew.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Seth Wright continues to be this, although he trusts Kirkman that it is for good and worthwhile reasons.
* LostInTransmission: Agent Wells is able to get a DistressCall to the Coast Guard, but due to a garbled transmission, they initially think she is a ''ship'' rather than a missing FBI agent.
* MesACrowd: [[TheMole Whitaker]] pulls this by "[[HollywoodHacking duplicating his digital fingerprint]]" in order to throw Ritter and Russink off of his trail. It works to some extent, but Russink ''did'' see the file-deletion procedure initially originating from the Cabinet briefing room, where Whitaker indeed was at the time, before [[KarmaHoudini making his escape]] right under Ritter's nose.

** Chuck Russink, when he realizes TheMole has duplicated his computer's signature throughout the West Wing.
** Hannah Wells, when she [[spoiler:awakens in a van full of explosives in the basement of the Hoover Building in D.C.]]
* SpannerInTheWorks: Abe Leonard's story ends up being this for Kirkman's administration, thoroughly derailing the President's efforts at the NATO summit.
* VillainExitStageLeft: Whatever the conspirators' plans for [[spoiler:the bomb in the Hoover Building]], they did not stick around and are again at large in D.C.
* WhatTheHellHero: Secretary Moss gives one of these to President Kirkman over keeping him LockedOutOfTheLoop on the Capitol bombing investigation. Kirkman quite reasonably replies by citing the paramount need for national security.
