10!Tropes for the episode:
11* BatterUp: The Tanglewood Boys beat a wannabe gang member with a signed Mickey Mantle bat they take off the wall of a sports bar.
12* BodilyFluidBlacklightReveal: While searching a business touting itself as a massage parlor, Danny aims his [=ALS=] into a wastebasket full of used condoms and declares, "This is Chernobyl."
13* ResignationsNotAccepted: Danny, whose brother Louie had been a Tanglewood Boy in his youth, tells Mac that the gang rarely ever lets members out of the gang, and certainly not without consequences. They gave Louie a beatdown before letting him out.
14* SeriesContinuityError: Possible. Given Danny's background that is revealed here, one has to wonder who it is in his "family of cops" he refers to in season 6.
15* [[TattooedCrook Tattooed Crooks]]: The Tanglewood Boys all have their gang logo tattooed on their backs, complete with entry date and a space for exit date, if that were ever to happen. They tell Mac that they do things "Mafia style," and tell Stella that they have their own set of rules.
16* TitleDrop: It's the name of the gang, so yeah.
17* WhiteGangBangers: The Tanglewood Boys are three Italian young men.
