Added DiffLines:

* RedHerring: The first killings of the episode happen, through coincidence, on the anniversary of JFK's assassination. The BAU suspect for a few moments early in the episode if the spree has some kind of political meaning until they uncover further evidence that it's something more personal.

* IrrevocableOrder: With the death of Erik (the abusive husband who hired Colin to kill the former's runaway wife) in the end of the second act (ironically by being hit by a car when he was trying to get away from the agents), the BAU does not has any data on the sniper and can only hope they can find Maya before she gets killed.

Added DiffLines:

* DaydreamSurprise: A PlayedForHorror variation: all of the subplot regarding Colin interacting with Maya as an apparent member of the railroad trying to help her turns out to be a daydream created by a focusing technique Colin has been taught in sniper school to keep awake and focused for days, waiting for the proper time to attack.

* LaserGuidedKarma: Erik is run over by a car when he tries to escape the BAU when they come to ask him questions.


Added DiffLines:

* UndergroundRailroad: The organization that helps battered spouses escape their abusive husbands is directly compared to the legendary Underground Railroad and follows a similar structure (each member of the railroad only knows the person of the next "station").
* WitlessProtectionProgram: The underground railroad, as mentioned by one of its members, had been effective for many years. The sniper spends a couple of days getting to his target, one of the women they helped escape, by killing his way through the chain and almost achieves his goal if not for the BAU arriving in time and Hotch [[ScopeSnipe pulling off a counter-snipe]].
