!!Tropes:

* ArcSymbol: The eye symbol on the handle of Richie's knife shows up repeatedly throughout the episode:
** It's revealed that he drew it in marker pen on the palms of the female hostages from the liquor store.
** He also draws an enlarged version in the sand with the [[Couldn'tFindAPen blood of a dead dog]] that he finds by the road.
* AsianAndNerdy: Scott Fuller apparently writes Elvish poetry and uses [[Series/BattlestarGalactica2003 "frack"]] as a swear word.
* BadassLongcoat: Carlos wears a floor-length leather duster to complement his NiceHat.
* BankRobbery: The Geckos' thirty million dollar bank heist is shown in detail.
* BerserkButton: Richie punches Seth in the face for calling him a whackjob.
* BlackComedy: Carlos's speech about souls coming in different "flavors" before he kills Kyle.
-->'''Carlos:''' Souls are like... popsicles. Some are sweet, some are bitter, some are strong, some are weak, just a whole rainbow of kinds. Might as well come in a variety pack. Yeah, cherry-lime, peach-mango, banana-strawberry... ''(he turns around to reveal his GameFace)''... What flavor are you, Kyle?
-->''(Carlos drains Kyle's blood before pulling back with a thoughtful look.)''
-->'''Carlos:''' ...Cherry-lime.
* BrattyTeenageDaughter: Kate has shades of this, though it's difficult to blame her given her father's behavior.
* BrickJoke: Richie's fondness for horchata.
* ChekhovsGun:
** Freddie finds Richie's knife after Earl took it from the liquor store bathroom in [[Recap/FromDuskTillDawnS1E1Pilot the previous episode]].
** Monica the bank teller finds her daughter's cell phone in her jacket and neglects to turn it in with her own when Seth collects the hostages' phones. This becomes important when the brothers take her hostage and Freddie calls the phone, allowing him to trace their location.
* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: It's made more apparent in this episode that Seth is desperately trying to keep Richie sane and minimize his risky behavior.
* CrazySurvivalist: Richie.
-->'''Richie:''' The man who cannot build his own shelter or gut his own food is just courting disaster.
* CrisisOfFaith: Jacob Fuller is apparently suffering from one of these after his wife's death, having abandoned his congregation and bought an RV to take his kids to Mexico.
* {{Flashback}}: The present-day action is interspersed with flashbacks to the bank heist which took place prior to the pilot episode.
* FlashedBadgeHijack: Freddie pulls this to commandeer a random passerby's jeep and pursue the brothers after the liquor store holdup.
* IHaveAFamily: Said word-for-word by Monica when Richie pulls a knife on her.
* LikeParentLikeSpouse: Scott accuses Kate of having a case of this.
-->'''Scott:''' You're like a classic Freudian test case, you know that? Preacher's daughter in love with a boy who texts Bible quotes[...] You're basically dating Dad.
* MissingMom: Kate and Scott's mother apparently died in a car accident several months ago.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Kate calling her boyfriend to pick her up gets him killed and introduces the family to Carlos.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Kyle stops to give Carlos a lift and gets killed for his troubles.
* NotGoodWithPeople: Richie, at least according to Seth.
-->'''Seth:''' If it had been you in there, you would have got shivved on your first day on account of your piss-poor people skills.
-->'''Richie:''' I don't need people skills. I'm a prodigy.
* OnlyAFleshWound: Richie doesn't seem overly concerned that he still has a gaping hole in his hand after [[Recap/FromDuskTillDawnS1E1Pilot getting shot]].
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Carlos drains the blood from Kyle's neck like a vampire but more closely resembles a snake in his monstrous form, with a GameFace that includes scales and vertical pupils, and fangs that swing down from the roof of the mouth like a snake's. He can also apparently assume the form and memories of his recent victims, as he does with Kyle.
* PragmaticVillainy: Seth chastises Richie for taking a hostage from the bank heist; not on any moral grounds, but because it could get "messy".
* ThePromisedLand: Seth talks about El Rey, where the brothers are headed, like this.
* PunkInTheTrunk: A cutaway reveals Monica BoundAndGagged in the trunk of the brothers' car, in a recreation of the scene from [[Film/FromDuskTillDawn the movie]].
* TheReveal: Carlos is a culebra.
* {{Safecracking}}: This is apparently Richie's specialty.
* SanitySlippage: Richie's visions intensify and his behavior becomes increasingly erratic throughout the episode.
* SecondEpisodeIntroduction: The Fuller family.
* SeinfeldianConversation: Seth and Richie have a long, rambling conversation about Mexican food at the beginning of the episode, in a flashback to before the bank heist.
* ShoutOut: Seth calls Freddie "Tonto".
* TrunkShot: Used when Seth and Richie pop the trunk after hearing Monica's spare cell phone ring.
* WeakenedByTheLight: Downplayed; Carlos can walk in the sunlight, but he has to keep covered up or any exposed flesh begins smoldering.
* WhatTheHellHero: Scott calls Kate out for planning to abandon him with their father.
