!!Tropes:
* TheCasanova: Lena says she saw John enter a restaurant with a blonde starlet, then later leave it with a brunette starlet. From earlier episodes, we can guess this is true.
* ChristmasCake: Lena mentions that she hadn't expected to get married for a while, since she's 30+ years old.
* AFatherToHisMen: John clearly gives a crap about his men and takes pains to train them as well as possible.
* FourthDateMarriage: John and Lena get married relatively quickly, since neither know how certain the future is but like each other.
* HeroicSacrifice: Defied. John's sacrifice is definitely heroic, because he didn't have to be there. But his death itself doesn't look especially cool; he's gunned down while trying to make another position.
** This is basically true of the actual John's death. Accounts conflict on whether he was shot down or hit with a mortar, but either way it wasn't the heroic LastStand we're accustomed to seeing. RealityEnsues.

* KilledOffForReal: John, tragically.
* YouCanKeepYourHatOn: A shockingly romantic variation. Lena asks John to disrobe so she can look at him for a second.
