* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Kevin is essentially the male equivalent of Diane Frost from "A Hunting We Will Go" of the old series, being an untrustworthy, sneaky fugitive figure who contrasts the bounty hunter that the leaper has leaped into, with Ben at the wheel this time instead of Sam. And like Diane, Kevin eventually turns into a JerkWithAHeartOfGold towards the end and helps Ben take out the assailants who were coming after them, with Ben and Kevin making peace afterwards.

Ben leaps into Nick Peterson, a bounty hunter assigned to deliver a slippery lawyer so that he can testify against his former bosses. He also runs into Hannah Carson yet again, but finds out that in the nine years since they last met, she's gotten married.
Meanwhile, the team may have finally found a way to bring Ben home, which has left Addison conflicted.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Kevin may or may not genuinely love his nephew Jeffrey, although that has not stopped him from using gifts to Jeffrey to hide his ill-gotten goods.
