* WhamShot: More or less literally, since in the last scene, Bushmaster punches Luke so hard that he feels it.

* DwindlingParty: Upon learning of Arturo Rey's death and Cockroach being hospitalized, Bushmaster realizes that this is good news for him because he's her only remaining buyer.
* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumour: When Luke asks about Nigel, Bushmaster chuckles that he is ''headed'' someplace else.

* ArtisticLicensePhysics: If a six-barrelled shotgun blast from "Josh", and a fall from a second story are enough to dislocate Luke shoulder, then a grenade blast should've broken every bone in his hand. That is, unless the bullets fired from "Josh" were of the Judas variety (which, given this is Cockroach, they probably are), in which case it makes perfect sense that Luke is all right.

* MissedHimByThatMuch: Luke and Shades both head to Brooklyn to seek out Nigel, and both visit Bushmaster's lair, ultimately missing each other by a matter of minutes. Surprisingly,

* AdaptationSpeciesChange: In the comics, Mortimer Norris got mutated into a [[FishPeople humanoid fish]]. In the MCU, he's just a regular human.
* ArtisticLicensePhysics: If an over-sized shotgun blast and a fall from a second story are enough to dislocate Luke shoulder, then a grenade blast should've broken every bone in his hand. Unless the bullets fired were of the Judas variety, in which case, actually it makes perfect sense that Luke is all right.

* MissedHimByThatMuch: Luke and Shades both head to Brooklyn to seek out Nigel, and both visit Bushmaster's lair, ultimately missing each other by a matter of minutes.

* TheMole: Billie/Stephanie is actually a plant by Bushmaster.

* IncrediblyLamePun: The ''Bulletin'' front page headline for Arturo Rey's death is "Death of a Salesman".

* ArtisticLicensePhysics: If an over-sized shotgun blast and a fall from a second story are enough to dislocate Luke shoulder, then a grenade blast should've broken every bone in his hand.

* HoneyTrap: Mariah had Billie/Stephanie seduce Mark Higgins and got it all on photographs and video so she could blackmail him into approving the sale of Atreus Plastics to Glenn Industries.
* TheMole: Billie/Stephanie turns out to be a spy working for the Yardies.

* FridgeLogic: An InUniverse example. Claire and Rev. Lucas both believe that [[Film/Titanic1997 there was plenty of room on that door for both Rose and jack.]]

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Luke's beating of Cockroach to a pulp is enough of a final straw for Claire, that she decides she needs a break from Luke after a heated argument with him.

* PercussiveTherapy: Colleen tries two approaches of this with Misty, first in the ring and then by taking her to a bar where they end of in a BarBrawl.
* RunningGag: Every time Luke talks to a Jamaican, they bring up the fact that a reporter said Luke was faster than Usain Bolt, very offended.

* MythologyGag: Much like in the comics, Colleen uses a tough love approach to get Misty to stop feeling sorry for herself over the loss of her arm.

* DecapitationPresentation: When delivering the money that Shades has come to collect, Bushmaster throws in Nigel's severed head with one of the bags.
