* WhamShot: After the sodium beacon goes haywire and carves up the observatory, Henry realises there's something non-random about the damage. He and Carter go to an overlooking balcony, where Jo and Fargo catch up to them. They all look at the damage from above, where the laser burns clearly spell out, "help me".

* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Zane and Allison illegally help Fargo access the secure storage area where the hard drive is locked away. Jo disrupts Major Shaw's purge of GD's systems and gets herself arrested to save Holly.


Added DiffLines:

** Fargo's attempted rescue of Holly's drive is a ''Film/MissionImpossible'' homage executed with, well, a Fargo skill level.
* TheyWouldCutYouUp: Fargo is afraid of a cyber version of this trope happening to Holly if the DOD find out she's in the hard drive, hence why they can't just [[StateTheSimpleSolution tell the DOD she's in there as Allison suggests]].
* WhiteVoidRoom: How Fargo experiences Holly's hard drive, which tells him it's been wiped.

* ArtisticLicenseMilitary: Major Shaw addresses Jo as "Sergeant." As a West Point graduate, Jo should have been commissioned as a Second Lieutenant.



* HeriocSacrifice. Averted. Holly ''appears'' to have died after staying too long in the sodium beacon to prevent it blowing up three floors of GD. Turns out she escaped to Henry's memory lattice in time.

->'''Holly:''' Wait, you didn't say anything about me?\\
'''Fargo:''' What was I supposed to say? "Hey, guys, nice memorial and all, but Holly is still kind of alive"?\\
'''Holly:''' You could have at least acted upset.\\
'''Fargo:''' Well, plenty of people did. The planetary sciences team would not stop bawling.\\
'''Holly:''' Cosmo chemists are very sensitive, unlike certain people.

EarnYourHappyEnding: Fargo and Holly are reunited when she's downloaded into SARAH.

* InLoveWithYourCarnage: Carter and Zane both enjoy their straight-laced girlfriends breaking the law to save Holly.
* {{Irony}}: Holly decries the sodium beacon dedicated to her memory as "lame." It saves her as she shelters there from the DOD's purge of the GD system (although it does blow up, due to a technical flaw Holly would have warned Fargo about, ''if'' he'd asked her).

* ArbitrarySkepticism: Jo takes a long time to accept the idea that Holly survived in a computer considering her boyfriend switched bodies with Carter two weeks earlier. She later admits it's about her father's inability to move on after her mother died, and projecting that onto Fargo.
* CallBack: [[Recap/EurekaReprise Holly's love of music]] is remarked upon.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Jo and Allison are concerned about Fargo's behaviour during the memorial. He's absent a lot, acting distracted and emotionally unaffected. Not knowing Holly's (sort of) still alive, it sounds very much as if they think he's on drugs.
* DueToTheDead: Carter tells Major Shaw he's not putting the PANOP system in the observatory, where Holly's memorial is about to be held, that day. Shaw takes one look at the memorial paraphernalia and agrees to start elsewhere.
* EarnYourHappyEnding:
* InLoveWithYourCarnage:
* OhCrap: Fargo really goes through it trying to save Holly.
** When Major Shaw tells Fargo and Zane that the matrix computer - containing Holly - is to be locked away somewhere in the DOD vault, never to be seen again.
** After helping the DOD pack up the computer, Zane reassures Fargo he only did so as a cover for transferring her to safety in the GD computer... and then can't find her, leaving the hard drive he's just packed as the only copy.
** Just when Fargo says he can accept not seeing Holly again as long as she's safe, he learns that the hard drive will be wiped before shipping.
** Fargo reaches Holly's hard drive, only to discover it's been wiped already.
* RunningGag: Holly's favourite song, played at her memorial, is apparently "Car Wash."
