!!Tropes:
* ADayInTheLimelight: One for Rollins.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: After enduring years of trauma from what happened to her in the Atlanta police department, Rollins finally snaps and knees one of the corrupt cops in the groin.
* [[GayEuphemism Bi Euphemism]]: When defense lawyer Buchanan and Barba are debating a plea deal, Patton takes offense to going on the sex registry and snarks at Barba.
-->'''Patton:''' I don't know about you or your little [[TheDandy Spanish Dandy]] here, but I'm straight as an axe.
* BilingualBonus: In response to Patton’s thinly-veiled contempt, Barba tells him in unsubtitled Spanish that the next time they speak, it’ll be in court.
* BittersweetEnding: To bolster Barba’s case against Patton, Rollins finally comes clean about what he did to her and offers to testify, even if it means going through the trauma again. While the judge refuses to let the jury hear the testimony, that inside information gives Barba enough of an edge in his cross examination that Patton has an anxiety attack on the stand.
* BlatantLies: Fin follows Rollins to a bar after the accusations against Patton are revealed. Her insistence that she can’t help in the investigation and doesn’t have a bad history with Patton are obvious untruths.
* BreakThemByTalking: While this is Barba’s go-to strategy, he gets extra points for doing it so well that Patton was convinced he was having a heart attack on the stand.
* CallBack:
** Several people mention Rollins’ sister, whose troubles with the law were the reason Rollins was willing to (reluctantly) sleep with Patton in the first place.
** Amanda finally apologizes to Benson for her rude comments about Benson seeing a therapist.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: While Rollins’ past with Deputy Chief Patton has been alluded to several times, this episode reveals that he forcibly raped her.
* DrowningMySorrows: After she was raped, Reese Taymor tried to numb out the experience with a bottle of champagne.
* FaceYourFears: This episode is all about Rollins coming face to face with the trauma she has been running from since she left Atlanta.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Deputy Chief Patton tries to maintain an air of southern charm that quickly crumbles.
* WalkAndTalk: Barba attempts this with Rollins while they’re both out for a jog but he can’t keep up.
-->'''Barba:''' ''[panting]'' Rollins, come on, don't make me hurt myself.
* NotSoDifferentRemark: Rollins alludes to her own assault when convincing Taymor to testify against Patton.
* NotSoStoic: Rollins holds herself together remarkably well until she finally tells Barba everything that Patton did to her. When she’s finished telling her story, she is visibly shaken and on the verge of tears.
