Tropes

  • Annoying Younger Sibling: Amira whines about how her big brother O.A. thinks that whenever she zigs she should have zagged and then goes out and gets herself dragged along to a church firebombing.
  • Artistic License – Law Enforcement: a leftist terror organization invites potential recruits they haven't vetted to go on a drive-by literally minutes after meeting them.
  • CPR: Clean, Pretty, Reliable: Connor is resuscitated after hanging himself and receiving chest compressions with only some slight coughing.
  • Hypocrite:
    O.A.: You activate that phone, you, me, and 300 innocent people go up in flames.
    Leftist Terrorist: These people aren't innocent, they preach HATE, and VENOM.
  • Idiot Ball: the terrorist, never having watched game of thrones, thinks napalming the church with 300 people inside will kill only the enemy political leaders in the front pew. It's not clear, for that matter, why the terrorist thinks she needs to be inside the church to activate the bomb in the first place, since she's triggering it with her cell phone.
  • Knight Templar Big Brother: O.A. is very hostile to the idea of his younger sister going undercover to infiltrate the terror group.
  • Orcus on His Throne: the would-be church firebomber is persuaded to surrender when it's pointed out the Big Bad is this kind of leader.
  • The Svengali: the Big Bad of the episode is a college professor who mobilizes 30 of the 31 students in his class to engage in a terrorist conspiracy.
    Maggie: You're like Osama bin Laden.
    Big Bad: Your words, not mine.
