** Even better? Will's original assessment (based on the fake room's plugs, lack of AC, Whispers' suit and manicure...) that Whispers was in London is proven entirely right.
** To top it off, Will finishes the scene by grabbing Whispers by his collar and delivering this line:
--->'''Will:''' [[BadassBoast You think you're hunting us? We're coming for you.]]

** In "Who Am I?", Whispers mocked Will's assessment that the former was in London and claimed the "clues" he picked up on were staged to deceive him. This episode proves that Will was actually ''completely right'' and that Whispers really was in London the whole time.

* Wolfgang's flashbacks to his childhood with Felix show just how loyal his best friend is.
** A group of older kids ganged up on Wolfgang and tried to beat him up for being from East Germany. Wolfgang told Felix to run and save himself. As the boys pin Wolfgang to the ground, Felix comes running back into the square with a pipe and chases them away.
** One night Wolfgang's [[AbusiveParents asshole father]] shoves Wolfgang to the floor and insults him for getting upset. When his back is turned, Felix sneaks up behind him and [[GrievousBottleyHarm cracks a bottle]] over the man's head.

** Anticipating Steiner's actions enough to do things like [[spoiler:plant a gun underneath his own car, and especially ''bring a rocket launcher in the first place'']] is a moment of awesome in itself. Wolfgang is more than just a criminal: he's a ''smart'' criminal.

* The entire fight scene to capture [[spoiler:Joong-ki]]. It starts as a gunfight where Will, Wolfgang, and Sun all trade off. When they're pinned down in the garage, Kala of all people uses the slope of the floor, a few well-placed bullets, and a lighter to blow up a car and take out the guards. He breaks through the gate and Capheus takes over to grab a motorcycle, leading to a car chase ended by Wolfgang throwing rebar through the driver's window. Sun then corners him and nearly impales him through the neck before police arrive. What makes the whole scene, however, is [[spoiler:Joong-ki's]] VillainousBreakdown as he gets increasingly more desperate, ending with him pleading for his life. After all he's done, the catharsis is very, very sweet.
* Whispers and Will have one final discussion, with Will bargaining for Riley's life. Whispers mocks him, saying he has no cards on the table and [[ToThePain detailing how he will make Will feel every bit of Riley's pain as he tortures her to death]]. Will at first seems despondent, then grins, before [[spoiler:revealing that it's not a visitation, he's actually there. Whispers [[OhCrap panics]] as Will grabs him and starts beating him down, desperately pleading for Jonas' help before he's knocked out. Jonas tries to warn BPO, only for the cluster to arrive on his doorstep and capture him too. We end with the entire cluster (sans the captured Wolfgang) physically together for the first time, driving out of London in a BPO van with Jonas and Whispers in their custody.]] The tables have been thoroughly turned.
