Michael undergoes extreme psychological torture and finds himself turned to the other side.
- Mind Screw: Thanks to drugs and torture, the episode is one big fuck you to Michael's brain.
- My God, What Have I Done?: In the past, Michael worked with Larry and they blew up a factory and killed a lot of innocent people.
- Mythology Gag: In the hallucination of young Michael getting beaten up by Frank, he ends up with blood dripping from a wound on his left cheek, the implication being that's how adult Michael got the scar under his left eye.
- Start of Darkness: Inverted, Michael realized what he would become if he kept working with Larry, so he became the Technical Pacifist we all know and love.
