* EmbarrassingRingtone: When Jack and Tosh inspect the mauled corpse, the ''Music/CrazyFrog'' ringtone suddenly sounds out. Tosh asks if it's his, as Jack, offended, tells her that he wouldn't choose that ringtone.

* KickTheDog: Gwen's drugging of Rhys is this. Rhys outright calls her a "selfish bitch" for being so cruel as to confess her affair, and then rob him of his memory of said confession by drugging him so she can escape the aftermath of it (likely being dumped, given Rhys' [[ThisIsUnforgivable reaction]]).

Misuse. It\'s Genre Savvy, not just \"savvy\".


* IncrediblyObviousBug: What Torchwood stuck on the pet Weevil before setting it loose. Small wonder the bad guys [[GenreSavvy found it and tossed it aside]].

->'''Jack''': You ask me, these guys are using Weevils to carry out the perfect murder. No fingerprints, no traces of recognizable DNA, ... a quick, guaranteed death. Nothing to connect anyone to the murder.
->'''Owen''': Right. [[DeadpanSnarker Should be a piece of piss]] [[SarcasmMode to find the killer, then]].
-->--'''Torchwood Three''' has nowhere to begin with Weevil attacks afoot

->'''Owen''': This is Owen's voicemail, ''don't'' leave a message.
->'''Jack''': Nice try, Owen, I want you back at the hub immediately. We've got a Weevil murder, so get your bony little ass over here ''now''.

After Owen recovers, he calls Jack out on rushing him to help him when he had finally found peace in that cage. The episode ends with him in the lockup, staring down Weevils and snarling at them while they recoil in pain.

* BloodSport: The answer to all the Weevil collecting. They're not used for murder. Disillusioned people go to a {{Fight Club}}-like venue to face off against them in a cage and see how long they can last.

* NeverTrustATrailer: The preview for the episode shows Gwen confessing that she was having an affair with Owen, followed immediately by Owen getting punched in the face, implying that Rhys came after Owen. Turns out the two moments were unrelated, and Gwen drugged Rhys so he wouldn't remember the confession.

To track down the owner of the warehouse, Owen (fresh from his [[Recap/TorchwoodS1E10OutOfTime affair with Diane]], breaking off the affair with Gwen, and generally being [[{{Jerkass}} Owen]]) is sent undercover into the high-stakes world of property, Jack and Ianto follow up a recent injury, and Gwen is sent home to try to piece back together her relationship with Rhys.
