Firstly, the redirect As Herself works. Next, the trope doesn't apply if it's a one-episode thing. Lastly, How To Write An Example says we're not supposed to edit trope names.

* AffablyEvil: Elias, as always, who not only protects Reese from the other prisoners [[RevealingSkill (except for when Reese needed to take a beating to maintain his cover)]], but outright helps Reese by sending a picture of Hersh to Finch free of charge.

Added DiffLines:

* TakenALevelInBadass: Fusco manages to play Reese role in protecting the POI this episode, and unlike the last one, he does it all ''without Finch,'' on his own the entire time. He's come a long way from the simple DirtyCop thug he started out as.

* TheAlibi: Kelly, one of the goons also suspected of being the Man in the Suit, was in the Middle East when Reese killed or abducted Peter Arndt. Unfortunately for him [[AcquittedTooLate Hersh has no way of knowing this]].


Added DiffLines:

* RightForTheWrongReasons: Macavoy, one of the suspects, offers to confess due to believing that their still being held over the initial goon work they did for the corrupt charity, and feeling one of the others must have talked if they've gone so long without questioning him. That confession does make him less of a suspect to be the Man in the Suit though.
