* ShoutOut: The opening sentence of Penny's RousingSpeech is a nod to the passage in Robert Cormier's ''TheChocolateWar'', in which Jerry accepts the challenge of facing [[TheDragon Janza]] in a boxing match, because of "[w]hat guys like [[BigBad Archie]] and Janza did to the school. What they would do to the world when they left Trinity."

* DoubleMeaningTitle: The word "suicide" here has multiple shades of meaning. A "suicide run" is a type of running drill. Aggie, however unintentionally, kills her own plan to stop Karen when she prematurely and hamfistedly [[LoveConfession confesses her love]] for Marshall, turning him against her. As a result, Aggie entertains thoughts of suicide in the literal sense.

* ChekhovsGun - [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. The comic's very first arc has Penny discover that Aggie's greatest vulnerability is her grief over her mother. However, when in this arc it's finally used in a way that hurts Aggie, it's not Penny who does so, but Marshall, the last person she'd have expected to say her parents (note the plural) would be ashamed of her.

* DarkestHour - For Aggie, until Penny gives her RousingSpeech.
* FallenPrincess - Penny's loss of her "queen bee" status leads her to admit what's truly important to her, and to bury the hatchet with Aggie.

* KickThemWhileTheyAreDown - Karen to Aggie. Understandable to an extent, in that she loves Marshall and is genuinely afraid that Aggie could steal him.

* UnspokenPlanGuarantee - [[InvertedTrope Inverted]], in that Aggie's plan, though indeed unspoken in the previous chapter, fails miserably.
* UnwantedHarem - Marshall resents having so many girls crushing on him, when the only one he loves is Karen, and Aggie doing so is the last straw for him.
