Added example(s), General clarification on works content
* BastardAngst: Prospero commiserates with Leo about how they seem to get shit from the legitimate part of the family for their illegitimacy, even compared to the other bastards.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Prospero has this in regards to the rest of the family, complaining that he's only throwing his warehouse party to get enough money to earn their respect.
* DumbassHasAPoint: After his failed pitch to Frederick and Madeline, Prospero reflects that their requiring the kids to contribute to the family empire in some way has messed them up, and that he might have been better off not meeting Frederick in the first place.

* GreenwashedVillainy: Frederick and Arthur keep repeating to the EPA lawyers that they'd like nothing more to assist them and ensure Fortunato's compliance with environmental relations, despite the head lawyer pointing out that it's very difficult to actually meet with them: Frederick later explains that they don't actually give a damn about the environment and just repeat the spiel about compliance to stall the authorities.
* MoodWhiplash: Perry goes from chill and looking for breakfast to threatening to stab Faraj with a fork for supposedly eating his rare eggs to chill again after he pokes around in the fridge a bit more and actually finds them.
* ParrotExposition: A variant. After Prospero confirms that Fortunato owns condemned factories that are dangerous to the environment, contrary to Frederick and Arthur's assertions, the head EPA lawyer asks him to confirm that in a "did they really just blow their own case wide open?" tone.
* SayingTooMuch: At the deposition with the EPA lawyers, Frederick and Arthur are putting up a solid "of course we're complying with regulations, honest" front and denying that they have any condemned testing factories. Prospero wanders in and subsequently expresses wonder at how cool said factories are and that no one had told him that the company owned them, to Frederick and Arthur's frustration (and the EPA lawyers' delight).

* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: When Prospero comes around to Leo's place to ask him for drugs for the warehouse party, he's bitter about how he wants to finally earn money in order to garner the respect he feels he deserves from the rest of the family. In one of the very few non-aggressive sibling interactions in the series, Leo honestly tells him that he's wasting his potential and once he gets his head on right, he'll be "unstoppable". (This is, of course, slightly undercut by Leo giving him the drugs right after.)
* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: Frederick's reaction to Prospero accidentally revealing to the EPA that yes, they do own environmentally dangerous factories, totally invalidating Frederick and Arthur's stonewalling.

-->'''Auggie (modern):''' "Over the years, I've talked to a lot of people who have taken your drugs. Soccer moms with headaches. Accountants with carpal tunnel. Kids with sports injuries. Their docs prescribe them with Ligodone, pitch it like extra strength Tylenol. Fast forward a year, they're shooting up heroin behind dumpsters. Or they're dead."
* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** When one of Peter's lawyers mentions the buried toxins, she mentions that one factory, in particular, had a "highly acidic concentration".
* GraveRobbing: A young Dupin photographs exhumed and disturbed graves, but ''the bodies'' themselves are missing. It's later revealed that the disturbed graves were people who participated in a drug trial.
* NicknamingTheEnemy: On Perry's phone, Frederick's contact name is "DICKWAD", similar to how the other siblings nickname him "Froderick".
-->'''Faraj:''' "Hmm, who's 'dickwad'?"
-->'''Perry:''' "It's my brother, Frederick."
* PsychopathicManchild: Perry himself flips his lid at Faraj when the former believes the latter ate the Black-headed gull's eggs, even ''poking a fork'' under Faraj's chin.

* ToxicInc: It's revealed in this episode that there are numerous condemned testing factories under Fortunato's thumb. While many are not compliant with environmental laws, there are some that are leaking toxins into the ground, potentially contaminating the groundwater. And that's not getting into the presence of buried toxins, including ''heavy metals''.
