* ArmorPiercingResponse: "This is the end, Elisa! The end of all the lies and deception! Only your gargoyles can save us now!"
* {{Blackmail}}: Matt knows that organized crime itself is beholden to the Illuminati, due to Mace sharing their darkest secrets with them.
* FromBadToWorse: How Mace describes the Hotel Cabal to Goliath. However, Goliath having Matt's key causes those plans to go awry. It instead goes from bad to worse for Mace, who dreads getting a black mark from the Illuminati for this screw-up and ultimately suffers an even worse punishment.
* HowWeGotHere: The episode opens with Goliath in the HellHotel, as Matt watches Mace get to work. Matt's narration takes us back to when he last saw Hacker and fills in the gap from there.
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: Mace Malone had quite a notable criminal career under his belt, as well as stole loot from Dominic Dracon (with the added indignity of ensuring a wild goose chase with a note mocking him at the end of it) and spilled the mob's most intimate secrets to the Illuminati. He is ultimately left to die by the Illuminati when he fails to break and contain Goliath.
* NoHonorAmongThieves: We already know that Mace betrayed Dominic Dracon, but Matt reveals he also revealed all sorts of secrets about organized crime to the Illuminati. Mace disappeared from the scene to avoid the wrath of his former colleagues, while the Illuminati made sure they got a piece of the action by becoming a silent partner.
* OlderThanHeLooks: Downplayed, as Mace certainly looks old but not to the extent he's said to be. Matt observes that he looks pretty good for someone that's almost 100-years-old, which he muses is due to the Illuminati providing rejuvenation drugs (which presumably focus on physical ability rather than appearance).
* SanitySlippage: Being left trapped in the hotel quickly takes a toll on Mace's sanity. He's left desperately checking door after door, all while sweating and increasingly twitchy.
-->'''Mace''': I'm close, so close! One more door. Yes! Just one more door! Just one more door, and I'm home free!
-->'''Mace''': I'm close, so close! One more door. Yes! Just one more door! Just one more door, and I'm home free!
* SignedUpForTheDental: Mace quips that the Illuminati's dental plan is more impressive than the rejuvenation drugs. He then sports a nice smile of perfectly even, white teeth.
