* JerkassBall: While Whitney had a legitimate reason to be angry that Charlotte cheated on him during their honeymoon, it was pretty cold of him to depart the island apparently taking her passport and clothes and leaving her no money.

Added DiffLines:

* LighterAndSofter: Compared to how DarkerAndEdgier ''Dreamland'' was, the first episode (and the rest) of ''Danger Island'' is more in line to the usual cynical comedy of the whole series.

Added DiffLines:

* BrickJoke: In the previous season, Archer constantly complained that he hadn't gotten any sleep since ''Dreamland'' started. The opening of this season has him sleeping, which may fool viewers a bit that they're still in ''Dreamland''.

Added DiffLines:

* CallBack: Fittingly for a season where Archer seems to channel Rip Riley, the episode starts just like [[Recap/ArcherS3E1HeartOfArchnessPartOne Heart of Archness Part 1:]] A newlywed with a seemingly neglectful husband wakes up in horror to find that she slept with Archer, who is, naturally, apathetic towards her.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Squick}}: When Archer wakes up at the beginning of the episode, we're treated to several shots featuring his empty eye socket. Also counts InUniverse, as the sight makes Pam start screaming (which made Charlotte start screaming, which made Crackers start screaming, which lead to the previously mentioned ShutUpGunshot).

Added DiffLines:

* DomesticAbuse: We don't get the details, but the break-up fight between Whitney and Charlotte involves a lot of things breaking and, judging by the screaming, was disturbingly one-sided on Whitney's part.
