| 3 | ---- |
| 4 | !!This episode provides examples of: |
| 5 | * AllJustADream: The whole episode is revealed to have been the result of a drug-induced hallucination. |
| 6 | * {{Blackmail}}: The Judge blackmails the "Sheriff" into staying to protect Kathy. |
| 7 | * CowboyEpisode: This episode takes place in an apparent {{Elseworld}} Wild West setting. Number Six is a sheriff who turns in his badge and gun and tries to leave town. [[spoiler: It turns out to be a {{Virtual Reality Interrogation}} created in-universe with a stage set and hallucinogenic drugs]]. |
| 8 | * FakeTown: [[spoiler:At the end of the episode, TheWildWest town turns out to be a fake created by the Village leaders to trick Number 6]]. |
| 9 | * GeographicFlexibility: The Village apparently has a full mockup of a Wild West town, within walking distance, which previous episodes had never hinted at. |
| 10 | * InsaneTrollLogic: The court's rationale for finding Kathy guilty. Although no crime was committed (the prisoner was under "protective custody"), Kathy is liable "because she didn't know that." |
| 11 | * JumpScare: [[spoiler: Number 8 does this to The Girl]]. |
| 12 | * KangarooCourt: The Judge sentencing Kathy for helping a Prisoner escape. |
| 13 | * KubrickStare: The Kid/Number 8. |
| 14 | * LostInCharacter: [[spoiler: In a rare variation, both Numbered agents ''return'' to their characters after the experiment is over.]] |
| 15 | * OutOfGenreExperience: The series' plot is [[CowboyEpisode transplanted onto a Western setting]]. |
| 16 | * PsychopathicManchild: The Kid. Naturally. |
| 17 | * QuickDraw |
| 18 | * ShowdownAtHighNoon: Naturally. |
| 19 | * SpecialEditionTitle: The episode completely replaces Number Six's usual resignation and kidnapping with a Wild West equivalent. (Some regions which were showing the original UK broadcast took issue with the lack of a title and superimposed a "The Prisoner" caption onto the start, against [=McGoohan=]'s wishes.) |
| 20 | * StalkerWithACrush: The Kid to Kathy. |
| 21 | * TitleDrop |
| 22 | * VirtualReality: Not quite, but this is as close as the 1960s could get: lots of hallucinogenic drugs and paper cutouts. |
