7	!!This episode contains examples of:
8
9	* AssholeVictim[=/=]YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Tomas.
10	* BizarreHumanBiology: Helena survived being shot in the chest because her heart was on the right side of her rib-cage, a condition that [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dextrocardia can occur in real life]].
11	* BlatantLies: Leekie clearly does not believe Cosima and Delphine when they tell him that they had no idea whatsoever about Sarah's plan to disguise herself as Cosima to infiltrate Dyad, to the point that he spends the whole meeting looking like a bored principal. He likely lets them get away with it out of plausible deniability since he needs them both working on the science.
12	* TheChessmaster: ''Mrs. S.'' is behind Kira's disappearance, though she did it to protect her. She trashed her own house to confuse anyone looking for them and ran to a safehouse in the woods. Eventually, she leads Sarah to the hideout and reunites them. She has a network of friends called the Birdwatchers, who had helped her bring Sarah from the UK years ago. The man seen with Kira early in the episode is one of them.
13	* LesCollaborateurs: A couple of the Birdwatchers have defected to the Prolethians' side after "finding God". Mrs. S. quickly wises up to this.
14	* TheConfidant: Art joins Clone Club.
15	* DeadpanSnarker: Cosima's particularly cheeky this episode, especially with both Leekie and Rachel (see SmugSnake).
16	* FeedTheMole: Alison and Felix try this on Donnie. It works.
17	* GilliganCut: Angela promises Art she'll drop the case. The next scene is her at the hospital asking about the case.
18	* GossipyHens: The other housewives gossip about Alison at Aynsley's funeral because she slept with Chad, Aynsley's husband.
19	* INeedAFreakingDrink: Alison's drinking habits continue.
20	* ImpaledPalm: Mrs. S. immobilizes one of the traitorous Birdwatchers by ''pinning her to the dining-room table with a knife and fork though each hand.''
21	* MadeOfIron: A police officer questions how Helena could possibly be alive.
22	* MamaBear: Mrs. S. ''is not amused'' when she finds out the people she was working with are [[LesCollaborateurs collaborating with the Proletheans]], thereby putting Sarah and Kira in danger. She swiftly [[PayEvilUntoEvil kills them]].
23	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Alison greatly regrets letting Aynsley die.
24	* ThePatientHasLeftTheBuilding: Mark sneaks Helena out of the hospital in a wheelchair, moments before Angela can interrogate her.
25	* PayEvilUntoEvil: See above under MamaBear
26	* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: Daniel uses his Dyad connections to threaten Art into letting him go but Art ignores him. It's later mentioned that he made good on his threats.
27	* SelfHarm: Tomas whips himself for his failure.
28	* SmugSnake: Rachel turns the smug up to eleven in her first on-screen encounter with Cosima - who ain't having ''none'' of it.
29	-->'''Cosima:''' I’m Cosima. The real Cosima. [[InsultFriendlyFire Not the one who kicked your ass or whatever...]] [[VerbalBackspace Gotta love concealer.]]\
30	'''Rachel:''' [[InsultBackfire I hear you're very clever.]]\
31	'''Cosima:''' [[BadassBoast I was "clever" when I was, like, six.]]\
32	''[Then, after realizing Cosima and Delphine are an item]''\
33	'''Rachel:''' So...you're ''gay.''\
34	'''Cosima:''' My sexuality is not the most interesting thing about me.
