* LaserGuidedKarma: Hun, who has dealt out a lot punishments to Stockman, briefly taunts him when Saki announces that he may have Chaplin promoted and Stockman [[DeadlyEuphemism retired]]. Soon after, Saki makes it clear that he trusts Karai more than Hun. Stockman mocks Hun about how he too might be out of a job soon. Hun angrily growls at his face, but Stockman doesn't back down as they are both effectively in the same boat now.
-->'''Saki:''' If your robots prove themselves by destroying the turtles, Dr. Chaplin, then perhaps we can retire your mentor, Dr. Stockman, once and for all.\\
'''Hun:''' ''(grins and leans over to Stockman)'' Looks like someone's going to be out of a job soon.\\
'''Saki:''' I have other matters to attend to. Karai, proceed with the ''other'' operation we discussed.\\
'''Hun:''' Wait... "other operation"? Is there something I should know, Master?\\
'''Stockman:''' ''(smugly)'' Apparently I'm not the only one who's being considered for early retirement.\\
''(Hun growls at him and Stockman laughs)''



* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Saki has been hailed as "the savior of the city" for all the cash and resources he has devoted to rebuilding areas devastated during the Triceraton invasion. Only one reporter brings up his rumored ties to the Foot and Purple Dragons, as well as Stockman still being on the payroll.

** [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] with Hun. Saki passes him off as his bodyguard, but the mayor finds his Purple Dragon tattoos concerning. Saki tries to brush it off by saying "The dragon is a symbol of great honor in the land of my ancestors" but this doesn't quite help, so Saki offers more money to the mayor as bribe, making him drop the subject.

* Fiction500: Saki tells the mayor that he's happily wired him a $147 million transfer for the city's operations. That said, even Karai is actually concerned about skyrocketing costs even if Saki's not worried about money where he's going.



** The end of the episode has Karai voice financial concerns to Saki, but Saki isn't worried since "money will be meaningless where [he] is going." We'll learn where he's going in the season finale.



** ShipTease: When asked about the robots designs, Chaplin explains that he did it because Karai is "just so perfect." Whether Karai's turn away was due to annoyance, disinterest, bashfulness, or even a bit of {{Tsundere}} behavior is up to the audience.

Added DiffLines:

* VillainEpisode: A downplayed example. While the Turtles still are the protagonists of the back half of the episode, the driving plot is the inner politics of the Foot as Hun and Stockman learn they are on the chopping block especially with the arrival of Chaplin to replace the latter.
