* StageWhisper: When Seth and Jessica are in the Abruzzi estate, they were discussing their situation at hand while "whispering" so that the Abruzzi henchman behind Seth doesn't hear.

* VehicularKidnapping: Jessica and Seth is treated to a mild one. Jessica believes she's being fetched by FBI agents, but it's really the henchmen sent by Salvatore Abruzzi who were there to abduct Seth, making Jessica an InnocentBystander.
