The mystery wraps up as Archer gathers everyone at Dreamland.
- Accidental Murder: Poovey can't stop shooting Lana thanks to Archer's gun having an extreme hair trigger.
- Arc Words: The words Dreamworld/Parallel dimension/Infinite Earths are used frequently in the last scene presumably because Archers subconscious is starting to realize he's dreaming.
- Ass Pull: There is no real explanation as to how Dutch survived being run over, even though his body is not completely robotic: his head and torso were still exposed. Dutch's reason is: I guess just clean livin'!
- Bilingual Bonus: "Auflosung" means "Resolution".
- Bittersweet Ending: Archer finally learns the truth regarding Woodhouse's murder. Dutch receives his due karma, and Archer is no longer working for Mother at the moment. Unfortunately, Lana is dead and Poovey's Chinese sister-wives left. However, Archer is trying to move on with his life, and the Chinese sister-wives are trying to make it on their own.
- Death by Adaptation: Barry and Lana.
- Decoy Antagonist: Double Subverted, Dutch is both still alive and Woodhouse's real killer.
- Downer Ending: Zig-zagged between this an a Bittersweet ending. Archer is still in a coma in the real world, but he is still alive.
- For the Evulz: Dutch killed Woodhouse. The reason? Just cause. He also cut him off in traffic.
- Impromptu Tracheotomy: The moment the dogs ripped Dutch's throat out, he was as good as dead. It didn't matter that he had robotic appendages.
- Just Think of the Potential!: Kreiger made Dutch a cyborg for good intentions, he apparently ignored the fact that he was a killer before that.
- Karmic Death: Dutch enjoyed killing people, and now he gets ripped the shreds in a brutal fashion by the dogs owned by the person who gave him his robotic parts.
- Pragmatic Villainy: Yes, Woodhouse owed Mother money. Killing him over it doesn't get her that money, so if anything, Mother had reason not to kill him.
- Riddle for the Ages: We never found out what Woodhouse's note said, or who stole it.
- Shut Up, Kirk!: Kreiger begged Dutch not to use his powers for evil, but since Dutch was already a psychotic killer before being turned into a cyborg it doesn't really get him anywhere
- Sickening "Crunch!": When Dutch breaks Archer's arm, and when Zirk kills the dogs.
- Too Dumb to Live: Figgis points out that Archer's out of ammo. Archer calmly reloads and puts the gun back in his face.
- Villains Never Lie: Toyed with: Archer takes Trexler at his word when Trexler claims Mother killed Woodhouse, and Mother asks why his word is any more solid than hers.
- The Worf Effect: Zigzagged. Zirk, a hulking brute who has knocked out Archer and Poovey with extreme ease, was taken out almost immediately as he tries to fight Dutch. Oddly enough, Dutch then gets brutally mauled by Krieger'r robotic dogs... who then get ripped apart by Zirk.
