4!!Tropes:
5* TenMinuteRetirement: Michael refuse his hero work for days (possibly weeks) in-universe, but he's dragged back into the game fairly quickly, that is to say, by the end of the episode screen-time wise.
6* AchillesInHisTent: Michael has a full-blown case of this for most of the episode.
7* AndTheAdventureContinues: The episode ends with Michael and KITT racing off, [[HesBack his desire to help the innocent restored]].
8* BittersweetEnding: The crooks are arrested; but [[spoiler:Stevie is dead]], and Michael comes close to killing the man responsible.
9* BulletproofHumanShield: The bullet that [[spoiler: kills Stevie]] was intended for Michael.
10* CartwrightCurse: Poor [[spoiler:Stevie]].
11* DespairEventHorizon: Losing [[spoiler: Stevie]] nearly pushed Michael over the edge into this; after drifting closer and closer all episode.
12* DyingDeclarationOfLove: [[spoiler:Stevie]] gives one before [[WidowedAtTheWedding expiring on the altar]].
13* HesBack: Michael's pretty much back to his old self by the end of the episode.
14* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: The last act of the episode.
15* SeriesFauxnale: David Hasselhoff wanted the series to end on this episode. However, because the episode was too dark, it would have been one helluva DownerEnding, so NBC chose to air "Voodoo Knight" as the final episode instead. However, when originally shown in some countries, it was broadcast as the final episode.
16* WidowedAtTheWedding: The Villain Of The Week crashes the wedding to shoot Michael (whom he thinks can identify him); [[spoiler:Stevie [[BulletproofHumanShield throws herself in front of her groom]] at the last second, TakingTheBullet for him]].
