* "Instinct" (2 x 2): Echo's wipe doesn't fully work- she gets the idea to steal a car, but is still somewhat in "doll mode", so it takes her a few minutes to remember how to start one; her first attempt is to simply sit in the passenger seat and politely ask the car "go please".

** YMMV since we don't know what they took from him; this trouper found it quite foreboding.
** I found "Rigor mortis, the new Viagra" to be simultaneously creepy and funny.
*** The scenes with Dominic were kind of funny. "Good times" before ''enjoying himself'' with a man's leg, the whole "whose head is this" argument, and generally everything to do with him.

** Alpha nearly hurling Echo onto a hapless cast member (on the floor below them) during their fight together.

* The "exchange" ([[spoiler: Rayna for Audra-in-Sierra]]) in episode 3, whereupon Echo-as-Jordan says: "So nobody really wants Rayna to see tomorrow!" and Audra, Rayna's #1 fan, says really quietly and tearfully, "I do." The comedic timing is priceless.

** YMMV, as this troper found it not funny at all, but a genuinely moving and almost ''maternal'' moment for Adelle toward Topher.
** And this one found it positively chilling.
** And this one found it to be all three. "''heh'', what a twist."; "''aww''", she really cares for him"; "''Yikes'', that is who he is..."



** The lead-in was perfect, and the phone conversations were Topher and [[spoiler:Topher!Victor]] compared notes on Bennett was hilarious. But Boyd's attitude to the whole thing just made me die with laughter. Give [[spoiler: Enver Gjokaj]] a medal for that one. Why have we never heard of this guy before?

* Adelle acting all seductive towards the Rossum executive, only to [[spoiler:grab his balls and threaten to rip them off if he doesn't comply with her wishes immediately]].
** Gives a whole new meaning to 'ball-buster'.

** All of Alpha's scenes in this episode are either Crowning Moments of Funny or Awesome.

** This one is particularly funny because it comes after Topher asking Boyd about which of Echo's old identities she is - which has clearly been going on for a while, and Boyd is about 25% blase/75% frustrated with Topher not getting that she's ALL OF THEM. This is the first line where Topher actually scores a point, and Boyd gets a stellar "hmm, didn't think of that" look on his face.
