* HistoryRepeats: Defied. When Hudson tells Goliath he needs to select a second lieutenant to lead if he is indisposed, he asks Hudson to take the role. Hudson points out that Goliath was once ''his'' second, so there’s no point in going backwards.

* PassingTheTorch: Invoked. Hudson refuses Goliath’s insistence he become second of the clan to lead if he is occupied or injured, since Goliath was once ''his'' second. He asks Goliath to choose between one of the three younger clan members, happy to defer to their leadership if the situation calls for it.

* RunningGag: Again, Coyote's current body is destroyed (this time by being forcefully removed from that body which in turn get hit by a speeding train). Though this time the head is also destroyed, but Coyote does nonetheless return in "Grief", whether because of uploading its programming in only seconds or being another created AI with the same programming is unstated). Also worth noting that Coyote 3.0 retained the partially exposed cybernetic face despite not being the same as the original.

** Also worth noting that at the start of the episode, Dingo is disappointed that the Pack has resorted to robbing banks like common criminals. While Dingo is far from being exemplary, as he is a mercenary who gets paid to kill other armed people, but stealing money from banks, and especially taking innocent people's savings, is one thing he takes no pleasure in.
