7	!!This episode contains examples of:
8
9	* ActionGirl: Sarah and Alison both put up quite a fight against the people trying to kidnap them.
10	* ArcSymbol: The winged fish appears again on the belt buckle of Mark, a man who finds Helena in the hospital.
11	* BadassBystander: ''Three'' of them.
12	** First the diner chef, [[BoomHeadshot killed by Mark]] but manages to [[DeadMansTriggerFinger fire off a shot]] [[TakingYouWithMe killing Mark's partner]].
13	** Then there are the two "couriers" used by Sarah, the first who extorts $20 from Paul for use of a burner phone, and the second who distracts the Neolutionists with Sarah's phone to allow Sarah to slip away unnoticed, even telling off the Neolutionists with "Up Yours".
14	* BaitAndSwitch: We are immediately suspicious of the surprisingly generous diner chef, but no - he really is just being nice to a clearly upset woman, and tries to defend Sarah when the Proletheans show up.
15	* BoomHeadshot: The diner chef which leads to a DeadMansTriggerFinger.
16	* BreakTheHaughty: Rachel is smugly confident that Sarah, who is holding her at gunpoint, won't pull the trigger - until Sarah shoots the potted plant next to her. For one brief, shining second, Rachel's expression goes from AlphaBitch to [[FearIsTheAppropriateResponse "WTF just happpened I'm gonna die crap crap crap..."]]
17	* TheBrute: Daniel for the Neolutionists. Mark and his partner for the Proletheans.
18	* ChaseScene: Some men at a diner try to capture Sarah, but she gets away. They are later revealed to be religious terrorists called Proletheans, Helena's people.
19	* [[TwinSwitch Clone Switch]]: Sarah goes to the Dyad event dressed as Cosima. She also invokes this by promising to meet a representative from the Dyad in Alison's neighborhood, knowing they already have information on Alison so it would make no difference if they mistook her for Sarah.
20	* CowboyCop: Angela's still investigating the case even though both she and Art were told to drop it. She also arrests Sarah without warrant or cause.
21	* CrazyPrepared[=/=]GenreSavvy: Sarah in her dealings with the Neolutionists. She even sends a body double to fool them.
22	--> '''Body Double''': She says "[[TakeThat Up yours]]".
23	* DeadMansTriggerFinger: The BoomHeadshot inflicted on the diner chef isn't enough to stop him from killing Mark's partner.
24	* EvenEvilHasStandards: Leekie questions Rachel's decision to kidnap Kira. But it turns out she didn't; it was a bluff to get Sarah's cooperation.
25	* {{Fanservice}}: Felix's chaps bare his rear end. Justified because he was out having some fun at a club.
26	* FauxAffablyEvil: One of the men at the diner speaks to Sarah very pleasantly while he tries to capture her.
27	* FriendInTheBlackMarket: Alison's friend Ramon sells unregistered guns. He also happens to be her drug dealer.
28	* GratuitousGerman: Rachel speaks German with someone on the phone.
29	* HormoneAddledTeenager: Sarah asks to borrow a teenage boy's phone. He asks to touch her boobs. She smacks him upside the head and takes his phone anyway.
30	* IdenticalTwinMistake: Delphine inadvertently kisses Sarah, thinking she's Cosima. Justified, since Sarah was disguised as Cosima at the time, and they ''are'' clones.

32	* KillMeNowOrForeverStayYourHand: Shown above. Subverted. Rachel tries this when Sarah threatens her with a gun. Sarah [[ProveIAmNotBluffing fires her gun right aiming right next to her]], pistol-whips her, and presses the gun into her face. She ''was'' going to kill Rachel until Paul intervened.
33	* MamaBear: The episode centers on Sarah unrelenting quest to find Kira.
34	* MusicalSpoiler: If you recognize Helena's theme, you'll know who's walking into the hospital in the end before her face is shown.
35	* NotQuiteDead: Helena survived her gunshot wound and manages to stumble into the ER.
36	* WhamLine: When Sarah begins to explain that the Dyad don't have Kira.
37	--> '''Art''': I know.
38	* WhamShot: We learn that Helena is alive when she stumbles into the emergency room.
