* FoodSlap: [[spoiler:In Lisbon's defence, Jane did deserve it.]]
* GrandStaircaseEntrance: Jane has breath taken away at the hotel dinner when Lisbon makes her entrance.
* [[spoiler: LoveConfession: Jane does a very emotional one towards the end of the episode]]

* LoserGetsTheGirl: Jane gets arrested by airport security, but [[spoiler: finally gets together with Lisbon.]]
* ManipulativeBastard: Both Abbot & Lisbon accuse Jane of being this. Justified as while Jane has usually resorted to tricking people in the past, [[spoiler: he has never resorted to openly playing with Lisbon's feelings like this. In effect, the FBI became [[UnwittingPawn Unwitting Pawns]] in Jane's plan.]]
-> [[spoiler: ''Abbot:''"He stood in my office, looked me in the eye, and lied to me, and I bought it."]]
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: The usually calm and composed Lisbon is thrown for an emotional loop [[spoiler: when she finds out that Jane was behind the letter being sent and the case being reopened.]]
** Doubles as {{Arson Murder And Jaywalking}} when Cho reveals that Lisbon didn't get as mad when he tried to [[Callback bury a murder suspect alive]].
* RevisitingTheColdCase: The entire plot of this episode.
* SheCleansUpNicely: Invoked. She was never unattractive, but Lisbon sure does look pretty in her fancy dress.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler: All it took was one question about a hotel robe and Jane's plan came falling apart.]]
