Added DiffLines:

* BrainUploading: In order to help Chase and Karolina escape, Janet chooses to stay in the algorithm, since she claims she has a better life there anyway. (Though it's possible she exaggerates this to make Chase feel better.) Crosses over with ArtificialAfterlife: Janet's physical body appears to disintegrate, so she's presumably no longer alive in the strictest sense.

* InterruptedIntimacy: {{Downplayed}}, but Xavin doesn't reveal their (not unreasonable) concerns about Nico until she and Karolina are about to go to bed together, making it look like they're suffering a [[GreenEyedMonster bad case of jealousy]], at least in their timing.

* WidowedAtTheWedding: {{Invoked}} in the algorithm: Karolina's dream wedding to Nico from the last episode has been corrupted in order to punish her. She's left alone with a dying avatar of Nico, both still in their wedding dresses for maximum pathos. Fortunately it's only a digital illusion, and the real Nico is fine.

* GreenEyedMonster: Xavin is clearly still pretty unhappy about Karolina and Nico being a couple. They can be seen giving hard side-eye whenever the two are physically affectionate with each other, and keep trying to reach for Karolina despite the fact that she clearly wants Nico to help her. At the end of the episode, when they raise the objection that Karolina shouldn't be alone with Nico (due to the latter possibly being the host to Jonah's son), the Runaways clearly think they're motivated by jealousy (which, in fairness, they obviously are in part).
