!!Tropes:

* ContrivedCoincidence: Susan's lawyer just happens to favour the high-end brand of whiskey that kills the ear worms.
* EarAche: Played with; the Gua memory-copying ear worms are applied painlessly, but drink the whiskey that kills them and you'll know all about it. This kills Susan's lawyer, and floors Cade when he tries it.
* EvilDoppelganger: Cade is unsure between Susan and her Gua double. When one of the Susans admits to being in love with him, he kills that one; he knows the real Susan would never admit that.
* ExecutiveExcess: The nightclub is explicitly geared towards executives who WorkHardPlayHard, allowing them to indulge in hedonism without consequences. It's also a Gua facility experimenting in memory-copying technology that could allow the Gua to KillAndReplace the rich and powerful.
* ProfessorGuineaPig: When Cade realises he has a Gua worm in his ear, he decides to try the titular whiskey to get rid of it. Eddie warns him that doing this killed the lawyer, but luckily in Cade's case the worm dying is merely very painful rather than fatal.
* RightForTheWrongReasons: Hannah's old friend Susan believes Cade is innocent of Hannah's murder, but because she's secretly in love with him rather than for any rational reason.
* TitleDrop: Blue Agave is the brand of whiskey favoured by Susan's lawyer, which just so happens to kill the Gua ear worm. It also kills the lawyer, but fortunately not Cade when he tries it.
