!!Tropes in this episode:

* DroppedABridgeOnHim: Thompson is shot by an unknown assassin. The person proceeds to take the S.O.E. file on M. Carter and leaves.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: After Thompson appears to be making a face turn that is less antagonistic, he is shot by a mysterious person in his hotel room.
* HeroicSacrifice: Discussed and averted. When it becomes necessary for someone to go into the danger zone to manually restart a generator, almost everyone offers to go in for one reason or another. Sousa simply goes ahead and tethers himself before going into the danger zone. Luckily, the rift is closed before anyone can get pulled in.
* OfficialCouple: Peggy and Sousa have their first kiss while debriefing in his office, apparently signifying the start of a romantic relationship.
