* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Downplayed; while defending Sterling and trying to explain his actions, Olivia asks Nate "What wouldn't you do to save your kid?" It's likely that she doesn't know this would bring up bad memories for Nate, and he pauses for a moment but brushes it off.



** In his match with Olivia, Nate deliberately sacrifices his Queen. Olivia spends at least a minute trying to figure out the trap, because Nate wouldn't sacrifice his Queen for no reason. The reason, however, is to extend the match and give Parker more time in the vault. The match may not use the 'official' Queen's Gambit; but Nate does make a successful gambit using the Queen.

* OutsideContextProblem: Nate's gambit is this for Olivia. He's thinking of buying time for the team, but she has no way of knowing that, so she begins examining the chessboard, looking for whatever it is she missed.

Nate gives Sterling a name, and asks for everything he has on it. In return he’ll make sure Eliot doesn’t know where he is. Back in Livingstone’s tower, the terrorists take the weight and pay millions in cash. Unfortunately for them, Nate put salt in the gas Parker was going to use to trick the pressure sensors, so when she injected it into the container, the weight was contaminated, and the terrorists are in for a [[StuffBlowingUp big surprise]].
