5-->'''Sophie:''' [[Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan She tasks me. And I shall have her.]]
6* BlatantLies: When Sophie remarks on a big, bulky security guard standing in the background of Chad's office, Chad laughs it off and says he's just there because he makes a good smoothie.
7* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Eliot poses as an eccentric beekeeper.
8* IndyPloy: When Breanna sabotages the honey skin cream product launch, Bronwyn pivots on the spot, inventing a new bee venom product line out of thin air and creating even more [[{{Pun}} buzz]] for her company.
9* MassOhCrap: Team Leverage's reaction when they realize they've been temporarily OutGambitted by Bronwyn.
10* MirrorCharacter: Sophie and Bronwyn. Sophie isn't too happy when their similarities are pointed out.
11* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed:

14* OhCrap: Chad's reaction when he realizes that Team Leverage has tricked him into destroying his own company.

18-->'''Sophie:''' Oh, you clever girl.
19* WitnessProtection: Bronwyn ends up here, anonymously working at a truck-stop convenience store after the team leaves her with no choice but to flip on Chad to save her own life. It's implied that for Bronwyn, who loves the spotlight, this is a FateWorseThanDeath.
