History Recap / BlakesSevenS4E7Assassin

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Avon takes evident pleasure in gunning down Borac.

* BitchInSheepsClothing / TheDogWasTheMastermind: Piri is Cancer.

* HystericalWoman = [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan Get A Hold Of Yourself Woman]]: Soolin responds appropriately.

* IdiotBall: Steven Pacey hated this episode because Tarrant was portrayed so foolishly. One would think that Avon too would be more suspicious of Piri, as she points out InUniverse.

* SeriesContinuityError: Slavery is said to be illegal, yet in "Deliverance" it's the standard punishment for the family of a deserter from Star Command. Given Domo wasn't part of the Federation, it's possible slavery was only legal in the Federation. Alternatively, criminals capturing people and auctioning them off as slaves may be illegal, whereas [[ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem government-sanctioned slavery is not]].

* HypocriticalHumor: Tarrant accuses Soolin of "simple female jealousy" toward Piri... and then [[CockFight immediately starts squabbling with Avon.]]

* TheNameless: Used for GenderMisdirection.

* YouGotSpunk: The slavers don't mind that Avon tries to fight them off, as it means he'll be a robust slave.

* HystericalWoman = [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan Get A Hold Of Yourself Woman]]: Soolin [[ArmorPiercingSlap responds appropriately]].

* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: The FoeYay reaches fetish levels when Servalan buys Avon as a slave and insists that [[{{Dominatrix}} he call her Mistress]].

* PetTheDog: Avon is clearly lying when he says he'll help Nebrox escape as well. But at the last moment he delays his TeleportationRescue, ordering Dayna down with an extra teleport bracelet. After all, IGaveMyWord is the [[Recap/BlakesSevenS3E8RumorsOfDeath one rule Avon sticks to]].

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Cancer puts her crab broach on Avon's crotch. [[DontExplainTheJoke She's giving him]] [[TheDiseaseThatShallNotBeNamed crabs.]]

* ReadingTheEnemysMail: The Seven intercept a message from Servalan.

* SlidingScaleOfGenderInequality: Unusually for this show, falls into the "Women Are Better Than Men" category. The men in the episode are primarily victims or holding the IdiotBall, meanwhile Soolin figures out the EvilPlan, the primary villains are both women, Servalan calls Cancer "a credit to our sex", Cancer mocks Avon for being "just a man", and Dayna saves them all with a last minute TeleportationRescue (although Vila also participates in that last one, making [[ButtMonkey him]] this episode's most competent male).

* ReadingTheEnemysMail: Vila intercepts a message from Servalan.

* ReadingTheEnemysMail: Orac intercepts a message from Servalan.

* FauxActionGirl: Soolin -- if she'd teleported down with Dayna, Servalan would be dead. Likewise she'd be a logical choice to go onto Cancer's ship to take on a ProfessionalKiller like herself. She makes up for it in the second half.

* AlmostOutOfOxygen: Our heroes seize the spaceship of Caner, who escapes and shuts off the life support remotely, forcing them to [[NeverSplitTheParty split up and search]] in the limited time they have left.

* HystericalWoman = GetAHoldOfYourselfWoman: Soolin [[ArmorPiercingSlap responds appropriately]].

* ActionFashionista: In between an EvilCostumeSwitch, planting killer spiders and kidnapping Avon, Piri takes the time to style her hair into a towering bun.
