* ChandlersLaw: Governor Perez's celebration party has a painfully obvious case. Simon is preparing to confront her about the rigged election and consequently put himself right in Samaritan's crosshairs. To keep both him and themselves safe, Finch says they need to find a way to remove Simon without him realizing it ''or'' being caught on surveillance cameras. And then [[UpToEleven Martine Rousseau shows up, adding a third thing they need to conceal themselves from]]. Seconds later, Perez falls dead, rendering the entire problem moot. Possibly {{lampshade|Hanging}}d by Shaw asking Finch "Any ideas how I do that?" right before Martine appears.

* NoNameGiven: Averted in the final scene, where Greer states the MysteriousWoman's name is Martine. Although this is also a [[ContinuityNod]], since her name showed up in Samaritan's UI in the season opener.
