!!This episode contains examples of:
* BadHabits: Kyle briefly disguises himself as a monk after his target hides out in a convent.
* BracesOfOrthodonticOverkill: Jarod spends some time as an orthodontist, and has a patient with these.
* BriarPatching: Jarod takes part in an FBI investigation where the agent in charge takes a disliking to him, and at one point gets himself out of chasing off after what he knows will turn out to be a false lead by making a point of how much he wants to follow the lead and would hate to be stuck doing desk duty.
* CharacterNameAlias: Historical figure version. As an FBI agent, Jarod uses the surname Ness, as in the Prohibition agent Eliot Ness.
-->'''Korkos:''' Ness?\\
'''Jarod:''' No relation.
* EvilCounterpart: Kyle, a Pretender who was under Mr. Raines' control at the same time Jarod was under Sydney's, and who has the same powers as Jarod but puts them to less admirable uses. This is underscored in a sequence where he uses his Pretender powers to put one over on FBI agents who are after him, which is structured exactly the same way as when Jarod pulls a similar trick on a villain.
* MadnessMantra: Kyle's "I decide who lives or dies".
* RoomFullOfCrazy: Kyle does the more restrained version: no writing on the walls, but he keeps a journal which contains nothing but his MadnessMantra written over and over.
* ShoutOut: There's a throwaway line identifying three FBI agents as Agents [[Film/CitizenKane Charles, Foster and Kane]].
* SoundingItOut: Jarod and a fellow science project secretly communicating using Morse code, in a flashback. (Notable as a case where, in real life, they'd not only have no reason to speak out loud, but would have good reason to keep their mouths shut for fear of being overheard.)
* WhamLine: The end of the episode, after Jarod questions why he was stopped from opening fire.
-->'''Harriet:''' I stopped you because Kyle is your brother.
