* MotiveRant: El Sordo says he deserves Jack O'Diamonds more than "some rich pig of a ''patrón''" because he lives a life of desperation, and having such a beautiful horse would be the only relief in a world of unrelenting ugliness.

!!Tropes present in this episode:
* AntiHero: El Sordo. He steals the horse because of its beauty but is willing to return his prize once he learns it was meant as a gift for President Juarez - he's even willing to die to rectify the situation. Also, he and his gang are heroes to the locals. However, Sordo isn't above using torture or robbing Jim and Artie at gunpoint.
* {{Bandito}}: El Sordo and his gang are a stereotypical group of Mexican outlaws for the most part, but they're not entirely without principles.
* DeadPersonImpersonation: Unwittingly done by Artie. He poses as Pancho, a wanted criminal, in order to dig up information on the bandits' whereabouts; he's unaware that Pancho's treacherous companions recently killed their leader. Things get sticky when the recently departed's "friends" show up.
* ExplosiveCigar: Jim pulls this trick on a Mexican bandit so he can steal back Jack O'Diamonds in the subsequent confusion.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: El Sordo, who has a sense of honor but, as Jim and Artie learn, it's not safe to rely on that too far.
* HeroicSacrifice: Triple-subverted by El Sordo. He's willing to make one, if necessary, [[spoiler:but he's also more than willing to fake one for his own gain.]]
