The Decembrist (No. 12) provides examples of:


  • Face Death with Dignity: Fitch tells the bomb disposal expert trying to save his life to leave and save himself rather than die with him needlessly; he also has a final friendly talk with Reddington and gives him warnings about how his group will react to his death as a last favour to him.
  • His Name Is...: When Fitch is telling Reddington the Location of his very important safe
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Berlin locks a bomb around Fitch's neck. Because it's activated by a remote detonator, the task force secures Fitch in the same box Reddington occasionally occupied in Season 1... except that once the bomb was cut off from outside signals, it switched to a secondary timer.
  • Pet the Dog: While detained in a box in an attempt to defuse the bomb on his neck, Fitch reflects on all the agents he has sent to die over the years, agents that were "good people who died in the service of their country". He knows the FBI bomb tech in the box with him cannot disarm the bomb. He tells the man to leave because he does not want to have another death on his hands.
