* AntiClimaxBoss: [[spoiler: The final faceoff between Annie and Lena. Especially after having a whole episode building up to that one moment.]]
* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: "Can You Save Me"
* FanPreferredCouple: Annie/Auggie is by far the most popular pairing, outstripping [[OfficialCouple Official Couples]] Annie/Jai and Annie/Ben.
** And now the OfficialCouple is Auggie/Annie.
*** And...now it's not.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Probably unintentional, but amusing in light of Season 4. In "Walter's Walk", Auggie and Annie have a discussion about what Annie should do in the event she becomes guardian of her nieces:
-->'''Annie:''' My sister wants to make me her kids' guardian. What's the CIA policy on that?\\
'''Auggie:''' Don't tell your family you're on a mission in Colombia.
* FridgeBrilliance: The plot point of Annie's cardiomyopathy makes a good metaphor for her post-Hong Kong state of mind. She's both heartbroken and in the process of becoming [[TheStoic heartless]].
* HollywoodHomely: The embassy representative that Annie must get to turn her remarks that no one pays her any attention because she isn't good looking. Considering a few scenes prior she's wearing (quite well) a cocktail dress that shows off quite a bit, it's... not a convincing complaint.
** Vivian of the first season episode "I Can't Quit You, Baby."
* GrowingTheBeard: Around the second episode of season 2, the series takes a sharp nosedive on predictability and safety, starting to feel more like a proper spy show.
* HoYay: A handful of people are already shipping Auggie/Jai. Well, they ''are'' pretty snarky...
** Jai/Ben is also being considered. [[spoiler: One can certainly interpret things into that look that passed between them at the shipyard...]]
* SpecialEffectsFailure: Much like sister show, White Collar, some of the green screen scenes are... dubious.
** In London, Annie sits in a park during "I Can't Quit You, Baby" and it's painfully obvious that the park is a green screen.
** To a lesser extent, the backgrounds during any driving scene where the actors are in the car talking. This may be a deliberate reference to old ChromaKey spy dramas.
* TheWoobie: Most of the characters, especially [[IronWoobie Auggie]].
