This is not Fridge (supposed to be for stuff you realize after the fact), this is spelled out in the work when the guys are on the chopper by Waverly: "You were about to be exposed, Kuryakin. The only way she could stay in the game. She knew the ring you gave her was bugged...and you'd be listening to every word she said."

* As for Gaby's reasons for [[spoiler: betraying Kuryakin and Solo]] part of it could be because she was [[spoiler: obeying orders by Waverly]] but also think about it. Earlier in the film, Solo tells Kuryakin that in order for him to maintain his cover, he must act like a normal man instead of a KGB agent trained to fight. Ultimately, Kuryakin was unable to do this as evidenced when he lost his temper at the Vinciguerra party and beat up that trio of Italian aristocrats. It was here that he blew his cover. But in compromising his cover, he also compromised Gaby's as well, since she is meant to be masquerading as his fiancee. Once Team Fascist realized he was not what he seemed, suspicion would probably fall on anyone associated, such as his "fiancee". Waverly probably realized this, contacted [[spoiler: Gaby]] and pretty much told her [[spoiler: look, your Russian boyfriend screwed the pooch and in all likelihood, once the Vinciguerras get their hands on you, you're in for a night of torture and interrogation.]] Her only choice at that point was to pretend that she was [[spoiler: playing Kuryakin and Solo the entire time]] if only to avoid [[spoiler: getting imprisoned outright and interrogated outright]].

* We're told that Uncle Rudi is Gaby's ''maternal'' uncle, making him and her father brothers-in-law. And it's blink-and-you-miss-it, but Rudi's last name has a ''von'' in it, which indicates that side of the family is aristocratic. No wonder Uncle Rudi makes the comment about "the blood of the racehorse" - it's not even about the Aryan ideal (since the 6'5" blond Illya fits that bill) but that he doesn't come from the right kind of family.
** It could still be a race issue; Illya is Slavic, not Germanic.
* Meta-example here in the characterization of Napoleon Solo: yes, it's true that this Napoleon is a good deal more amoral and cynical than TV!Napoleon. However, in his last-minute action of [[spoiler: giving Illya his father's watch and then quickly making up with him]], we can see a bit of the idealism and optimism from Robert Vaughn's portrayal of the character.

* This iteration of Napoleon Solo is much darker than the series. Solo is a good guy, in the sense that he's fighting on the right side, he clearly knows right from wrong and he knows who the Good and Bad guys are. But as a person he ticks a few boxes for psychopathy. He is at the very least....very very amoral. He's completely detached and cold blooded when he thinks he's killed Illya during their first encounter. His decision to save Illya at the power station looks to stem from pragmatic awareness their mission will be blown if Illya is caught or killed. When he first meets Illya properly, they fight and Illya wipes the floor with him, nearly choking him to death before they're called off each other. Moments later, Solo gleefully provokes Illya into a physical rage despite now being fully aware Illya can take him in a physical fight. We see repeatedly that while he's more than physically capable and a master lock pick, his real skill set lays in manipulation. Even his decision to retrieve Illya's watch and return it just when Illya might kill him could be viewed as less heart warming than manipulative and calculating.

* Victoria Vinciguerra practically relishes the idea of watching Napoleon suffer, and is disappointed that she can't stay and watch. It's clear that she's worked with Rudi before and admires his work (saying that he's "never in a rush" and describing his torture as "the work of a tireless artist"). Just ''how many'' people has Rudi tortured for Victoria? And was it to extract information, or just to satisfy Victoria's sadism?
