* GratuitousLatin: The title, "Sic semper tyrannis" is a Latin phrase meaning "Thus always to tyrants." Historically, the phrase has been accredited to [[EtTuBrute Brutus]] during the assassination of Julius Caesar, who was assassinated for being a despotic dictator. The title not only plays into the traitorous themes of the episode, but is a ContinuityNod towards Octavia's inspiration for her ways of governance: books by Greek and Roman authors that Bellamy had once read to her. Fittingly, it is Bellamy who plays Brutus. Incidentally, "sic semper tyrannis" is also the state motto of Virginia, where the show takes place.

* MoralEventHorizon: Giving Madi the Flame is treated as this. Indra feels the ends justify the means, while Gaia absolutely doesn't and Bellamy sees it as a necessary evil. But it's clear that considering it is bad enough, actually going through with it--even with Madi's compliance and understanding--is something they can't come back from. Madi even bluntly tells Bellamy that if she takes the Flame, Clarke will never forgive him for it.
