* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: Subverted when Kate's treatment of Dodgson not only fails to get any information out of him, but causes serious health problems that require immediate medical attention, mainly his leg wound (caused by Mary) becoming infected. Mary notes that if Batwoman had brought him in any later, Dodgson likely would have died.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Luke runs the last print job that Magpie ran, and what comes out is a series of white dots. Given only one thing she stole in the episode has a similar shape and color, it's fairly easy to guess what she printed before Kate figures it out.

Coitus Ensues is about "A sex scene that comes out of nowhere and serves little purpose." This doesn't apply here because it 1) doesn't come out of nowhere, as sex after even a first date is hardly unheard of, and 2) the scene serves to show Kate having to hide her Batwoman activities from Reagan, which is reiterated later and leads to them breaking up at the end.


* CoitusEnsues: From being asked out at the end of the previous episode, Reagan and Kate open with them in bed with each other, presumably because the [[PanderingToTheBase audience would be expecting]] some lesbian {{fanservice}} by now.

* BadLiar: Zig-zagged. Kate's on-the-spot excuses to Reagan to hide her Batwoman activities are pretty terrible, a fact not lost on Reagan herself. But Kate is much smoother about lying to Sophie about why she needs information on who might have stolen Martha Wayne's pearls.
