* MoralEventHorizon: Lana is willing to destroy the entire Earth, ''daughter included'', [[ThenLetMeBeEvil if it means Archer dies too]]. Granted, she may have been lashing out in typical Lana fashion (as she obviously loves her daughter very much, judging by her manhunt for Peregrine), but the implications are still there.

* ToughActToFollow: Despite the technically increased stakes, many fans thought this episode didn't match the emotional intensity of "Caught Napping" and wish that had served as the season finale instead.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Is it possible that the Agency is so bored and tired of a normal life, bound by rules? Enough for them to indulge in long-repressed, dark vices that were never given a healthy outlet? The episode leans heavily towards this interpretation- especially when Archer [[TakeThat calls them out]] for blaming him and his presence for actions that are 100% on them.

** When Lana blows up at Archer at the end of the episode, was it simply a symptom of her increasingly abrasive attitude or was it out of AngerBornOfWorry due to the father of her child (who had just gotten out of a three year coma) once again acting recklessly with is own life after she had recently reintroduced him into said child’s life.

--> '''Archer''': Hey everyone! Why are you bitching?
--> '''Lana''': Hey! You’re the one who made all our lives worse by not being in a coma!
--> '''Archer''': *visibly hurt* Hmm, true. Cyril’s a [[DirtyCoward wuss]], Pam’s gone full [[LovableSexManiac horn-monster]], Gilette’s probably [[BigEater binging again]], and Lana, you’ve been a [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk bitch to Sandra]] for, like, no reason. But let me just call up 7.5 billion of my closest friends to get their opinions. Oh, hey, guess what! They’re totally fine with it because they’re ''alive''! And how many times did ''you guys'' save the world while I was in a coma?
--> '''Everyone''': [[{{Beat}} *dead silence*]]
--> '''Archer''': I’LL TAKE YOUR SILENCE TO MEAN '''ZERO TIMES'''!
--> '''Lana''': [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk Honestly, at this point, I’d wipe out the entire Earth if you went with it]].
--> '''Archer''': Did you people ever consider that you need me around because you want the excuse to be your worst selves?

* WhatTheHellHero At one point, Archer calls out the entire team for blaming him for their regressing to their vices and flaws; alternately, that his presence isn't the reason that they're acting like jerks. '''They’re just using him as an excuse'''. Lana seems especially aware of this and has no rebuttal.

Unfortunate Implications as a trope is a real-world YMMV reaction to a work presenting something in it in a potentially offensive manner as a result of what comes off as a writer's lingering cognitive biases, not "unfortunate implications" in the literal semantic sense, even if the implications of Lana saying she would let the world be destroyed if it meant Archer went with it are most certainly unfortunate. Also, entries for Unfortunate Implications need at least one link to an article or video discussing the potentially offensive content of a work in question so that users know that it's not just one troper's knee-jerk reaction to something they construed a certain way.
