* SimpleSolutionWontWork: When Yuri is on his way to the Forger apartment, Loid suggests simply coming clean and telling Yuri that the marriage is fake, believing her brother would understand given the scrutiny unmarried women suffer in Ostania. Yor, however, refutes the idea, saying that Yuri has always been extremely sensitive, and that he wouldn't react well to learning that Yor married somebody she didn't love.

* JerkassHasAPoint: Despite Yuri being fixated on his sister, both Loid and Yor can't really refute his question of why he has every reason to be suspicious that Yor has been hiding supposedly married for a year to a man he's never even met before, and Loid even agrees with him.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When Loid confirms that Yor really has no idea about her brother being a member of the SecretPolice, the look on his face makes it clear he feels terrible for having ever suspected her. While Franky tries to assure him that he doesn't need to feel this way, since doubting people is unavoidable in
their marriage line of work, it still clearly bothers him, and Yor's ObliviousGuiltSlinging afterwards just makes him feel even worse.

* SureLetsGoWithThat: This pretty much sums up Yuri's reaction to Yor's lame excuse as to why she kept her marriage secret (i.e. she forgot), showing that he's way past the point of making a fuss over her eccentricities.

Jim Hayward isn't just "supposed" to be an betraying Ostania. At the scene before the SSS drags him away from the City Hall, Sylvia tells Twilight their informant from the Berlint City Hall has just been busted. This implies Hayward is the informant Sylvia is referring to.


* DiplomaticCoverSpy: Yuri is a subversion. While he's using the cover identity of foreign service personnel to hide his intelligence activity, Yuri's role involves domestic counter-espionage, and thus does not need any diplomatic privilages--he stays in Ostania all the time to the point of having to make up the Hugaria cover story that got Loid suspicious.



* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Yuri's proper introduction has him calmly interrogating a supposed Ostanian traitor and then brutally torturing him, with him declaring all he does is for his sister's sake.

* FiveSecondForeshadowing: As Twilight and the Handler discuss Operation Strix, the Handler warns Twilight that the Ostanian counter-intelligence is "no joke," since WISE's informant at the Berlint City Hall has just been "taken out." The next scene, three SSS officers rushes into the City Hall and drag Jim Hayward away on suspicion of espionage.


Added DiffLines:

* PoliceBrutality: Jim Hayward's treatment by the SSS is intended to be a specimen of the latter's modus operandi. When the First Lieutenant brings Hayward out for questioning after he's been brought away by the former (and other SSS officers), Hayward is already been badly beaten, with a blackeye, a missing tooth, and one bloody nostril; the First Lieutenant gives Hayward an extra {{Cigarette Burn|s}} on his hand. During the time Yuri takes over as the interrogator and lectures Hayward about the latter's issues, Yuri grabs Hayward's head and forcefully bangs it on the desk.
