* PetTheDog: Negan rewards Gabriel for working together with him by demanding that his men treat him kindly when he's taken prisoner. True enough, he's given privileges not afforded to Daryl, such as Eugene taking him an ice pack and a blanket.

* InternalReveal: Eugene deduces that Dwight is the traitor amongst The Saviors' ranks. (Mainly through luck, he makes a connection between the still wet paint from Dwight's custom chess set that came off on his hand earlier to a mark of that same paint on a weapons bag that was stolen from the armory) He doesn't reveal this to anybody, [[YouHaveFailedMe despite Negan not-so-subtlety threatening to murder him if he can't figure it out.]]

Added DiffLines:

** Negan nonchalantly mentions his murder of Glenn and Abraham back in Season 7's "The Day Will Come When You Won't Be".
** Negan still finds Gabriel creepy, especially after his first impression of him back in Season 7's "Service."


Added DiffLines:

* CrypticBackgroundReference: When he feels that Simon is starting to undermine his authority, Negan threatens him and asks if they are "backsliding". Simon is extremely cowed and insists they aren't. We don't learn the significance of this before the episode ends.
* ADayInTheLimelight: For Negan and Gabriel. To a lesser extent, Simon gets some focus as well.


Added DiffLines:

* MythologyGag: Negan is trapped by a herd inside a small shelter with an enemy, and vents his past with his late wife before teaming up to fight through the walkers. This is adapted from issue #164 of the comic series, albeit in the comic, it was with Rick.

* BadBoss: This episode reveals that while the workers fear and worship Negan, they have absolutely no respect for his lieutenants. With Negan presumed dead, they disobey orders, almost launch an uprising, and one of them even tries to assassinate Simon before Negan returns and instantly calms them down.


Added DiffLines:

* PsychoSupporter: Simon is revealed to be considerably more AxCrazy than even Negan, who flies into a rage when Simon suggests massacring everyone at the Hilltop. Regina, who suggests using 40 or so workers as zombie fodder, isn't much better.
