* AccidentalHero: The team only threw away the money to distract the cops. They never expected the people of the neighborhood to embrace them as heroes and expose the mobsters extorting them. Harper sums up how "they think we did it out of the goodness of our hearts."

* AccidentalHero: The team only threw away the money to distract the cops. They never expected the people of the neighborhood to embrace them as heroes and expose the mobsters extorting them. Harper sums up how "they think we did it out of the goodness of our hearts."
* BadLiar: It takes thirty seconds for Harvey's shrink to realize the "criminal" he's talking about with memory issues is Harvey himself.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: Harvey is terrified he might become like his father, who suffered swapping from a truly loving father to a monstrous abuser and then back with no memory of what happened.
* MoneyToThrowAway: A textbook example as the team tosses the mob's dirty money out, the people of the neighborhood racing to get it and blocking the cops chasing them. Duela, of course, acts like she's being tortured seeing it all go away.
* SpottingTheThread: Harper realizes the mobsters have way more money than a simple protection racket should make and realizes they're laundering money for the Court of Owls.
* TitleDrop: Watching the TV news, the gang is rocked by people thinking they're heroes, already being called "the Gotham Knights."
* WhatDidIDoLastNight: Harvey is taken aback to wake up naked in bed with Rebecca March making it clear they just spent the night together and he has no memory of any of it.
