Tropes in this episode:

- Bury Your Gays: bisexual Villanelle gets shot and killed in the end.
- Cruel Twist Ending: The whole ending. Just as it seems that Villanelle and Eve will get to have a happy life together, Villanelle's life gets tragically cut short from a sniper rifle hit.
- Did They or Didn't They?: After that kiss and some playful slaps on the ass, Villanelle closes her car door and immediately runs over to Eve's side, where Eve then is heard laughing ecstatically. Afterwards, Villanelle and Eve are quite hungry.
- Downer Ending: Villanelle dies, and Eve is left screaming in the water by the bridge after losing Villanelle.
- Fanservice: Villanelle and Eve's passionate kissing followed by some ass slaps. And possible off-screen sex judging by Eve's laughter.
