Russ and Matty clash over who's in charge when the Phoenix plane is diverted to help when the pilot of a private plane falls unconscious after a heart attack, leaving him and his young son in danger.

!!Tropes:

* TheAllegedBoss: Russ is nominally in charge, but it's clear the team trust Matty's leadership far more than the wealthy guy with a shady past they barely know. Trouble is caused when they give clashing orders to Bozer, who doesn't know whose orders to follow.
-->'''Russ:''' [[RudelyHangingUp Did [Matty] just mute me?]]\\
'''Riley:''' [[BlatantLies I'm sure it was just an accident.]]
* CelebrityParadox: Finally answered when the kid on the plane explains that he and his friends have a word for what Mac does. Bozer asks if it's "[=MacGyver=]." Nope it's "Jeff it," named after a guy who does exactly what Mac does all the time.
* FalseReassurance: Mac's fear of heights rears its head just as he's about to cable over to the other plane, and Bozer mentions a Noodle Incident where a similar thing happened when he and Mac went bungee jumping, and Bozer got Mac started with a helpful shove. Russ reassures Mac that he definitely wouldn't do such a thing as they barely know each other... [''shove'']
* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem:
-->'''Mac:''' Well, someone's been snooping through my files.\\
'''Russ:''' It's not snooping if you own the company.
* ShoutOut:
** The leather jacket Mac tries on at the end is a replica of the one worn by [=MacGyver=] in [[Series/MacGyver1985 the original series]].
** Russ hears Riley and Mac arguing about "faulty information" and "bad technology" and asks what great military campaign they're arguing about: [[Film/StarWarsReturnOfTheJedi The Battle of Endor]].
-->'''Russ:''' Wait. Are we ''seriously'' debating this?! (Beat) The Alliance should've bribed the Hutt syndicate to start a rebellion, thus distracting the Imperial armada. Bing bang boom, Bob's your uncle, the battle's over!\\
'''Dez:''' I can't reason with you people!
** Bozer claims to know all the dances from ''VideoGame/{{Fortnite}}''.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Mac is less than pleased to be cabled across from one plane to another.
-->'''Riley:''' Fear of heights kicking in?\\
'''Mac:''' Please. Kicked in a long time ago.
