1Sick of watching Archer and Lana's rekindled relationship, the drones plot to break them up.
2
3----
4!!This episode provides examples of:
5
6* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: Cyril fakes one to keep Lana from going into Archer's apartment. She doesn't take the bait.
7* ArtShift: During Cheryl's flip book demonstration.
8* BlatantLies: Katya snows her idiot boyfriend.
9-->Who was that?\
10Who was who? What are you talking about?\
11Did you not just not have telephone call?\
12No! Don't be an idiot! Also, I must go to America. Unrelated to the telephone call I just did not receive.
13* CallBack: See WhamLine below.
14* EveryoneHasStandards: Krieger, who has ''incredibly'' exotic fetishes, is disgusted by some of the ideas the drones think he's come up with. Likewise, he's also disgusted when it looks like Cheryl is suggesting they kill AJ to break up Archer and Lana.
15* {{Foreshadowing}}: "I left something in the bathroom".
16* GagEcho: When Katya became a cyborg, she has a detachable vagina that she needs to wash. Back in ''[[Recap/ArcherS3E11SkinGame Skin Game]]'', Archer found it in his bathroom sink, much to his horror. At the end of this episode, Lana finds it, much to her ''anger''.
17* GreenEyedMonster: Or, um, red eyed monster in Katya's case when she learns about Archer's serious relationship with Lana. Completely averted once she listens to his heartfelt speech and decides to let Archer be happy with her.
18* HeelRealization: The gang has one when they hear Archer's heartfelt speech to Katya about how much Lana means to him.
19* HopeSpot[=/=]MomentKiller: Archer is determined not to ruin his rekindled and genuine relationship with Lana, so he declines Katya's advances towards him. Just as he thinks things are back to normal, as she leaves, Lana discovers a literal part of Katya left in the bathroom sink.
20* ShoutOut: Cheryl's insane outline for planning AJ's kidnapping seems to function as one to the infamous [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindbergh_kidnapping Lindbergh Baby kidnapping case]]. Cheryl also compares Lana to [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2014 Groot]].
21* SickeninglySweethearts: Lana and Archer. It's bad enough that the gang decides they have to break them up. After a particularly public display of EroticEating in the break room, Pam (who is normally into this kind of stuff) vomits her chili breakfast back into the pot.
22* SmartBall: Krieger, of all people, is the one to come up with the plan to break up Archer and Lana. He points out that Archer ''won't'' risk things with Lana unless presented with someone completely new to sleep with or with someone that has a strong psychological hold on Archer.
23* SpannerInTheWorks: The drones' plan to break up Archer and Lana may very well have worked if not for Archer's genuine CharacterDevelopment.
24* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: Cheryl's plan to break up Archer and Lana involves a convoluted scheme to hire a kidnapper to snatch AJ, leading to a nationwide manhunt, which ends with them tipping off the cops and the kidnapper being executed. AJ would have been sent to Bhutan where she would be raised as an assassin by Comicbook/RasAlGhul and return 20 years later seeking revenge on those who betrayed her. She explains all of this complete with hand-drawn flip book animation. Cyril points out that they would be [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Hoist By Their Own Petard]] when the assassin AJ returned...
25-->'''Cheryl:''' Yes, but it buys us time.
26* WhamLine: "Then why… '''IS THERE A VAGINA… IN THE SINK?!?!'''"
27* WhatTheHellHero: Krieger, Pam, Ray, and Cyril all express disgust when Cheryl says "Well some couples break up if their kid dies," implying she thinks they should kill AJ.
