* Sarah takes off her leather jacket in preparation for disguising herself as Rachel. Instead of putting it on any of the numerous places in the room she could use, she tosses it at Delphine, presumably to annoy her. And Delphine - the ‘’head of Dyad’’ - just catches it without comment and takes it with her when she leaves the room.
* Delphine walking in on Sarah strangling Ferdinand, weirdly enough. Its so incredibly awkward to see cold, intimating Ferdinand in that position, and even more awkward explaining how he got like that: he was hoping for some kinky sex with Rachel.

When he asks Delphine why Sarah is texting him that, she just shrugs and tells him that it's because they're up to something. His response? A flippant "Great! That's good enough for me." and then doing shots with her and Donnie.
