* {{Gaslighting}}: Number Six is brainwashed to believe that he's a Village agent brought in to impersonate the "real" Number Six (who actually is a Village agent impersonating him) in order to break him.
* IdenticalStranger: The episode screws with Number Six's sense of identity by secretly conditioning him to alter his reactions, then introducing an Identical Stranger who's been trained to react the way Six is supposed to.
* LeftHandedMirror: PlayedWith. Number Two creates an exact double of Number Six and uses him to confuse Number Six into thinking that he's the double. The Villagers use aversion therapy on Number Six to turn him from right-handed to left-handed. The double is right handed, which he uses to claim that he's the real Number Six.
* MindRape: Number Six is brainwashed into believing that he is actually a Village operative assigned to impersonate Number Six.
