* ArabOilSheikh: "Always Look a Gift Horse in the Mouth" features an Arab prince who grew up in an LonelyAtTheTop household, is wooed for drilling rights to his country's oil by a FalseFriend, is married to an American woman who befriends Amanda, and is said to be one of the last stabilizing factors in the Middle East.

* CassandraTruth: In "Service Above and Beyond," when a villain who has caught Amanda spying threatens to poison her unless she tells him who she is, she ruefully asks if he'd believe that she's a suburbanite with two kids and isn't too surprised when he says no.


Added DiffLines:

* ConfessToALesserCrime: The usual dynamic is inverted in the second episode when the government agents confess to a lesser offense to the crooks who've just caught them spying. They claim to be corporate spies rather than official ones to make their CorruptCorporateExecutive captor less determined to kill them and lull him into a false sense of security before they escape.


Added DiffLines:

* DoubleTake: In the second episode, Lee is nearly stabbed with a flamingo lawn ornament, grabs another for self-defense, and then glances down at it in disbelief as he registers what he is fighting with.
