Added DiffLines:

* BatmanGambit: Oliver provokes Church so that Church will have one of his men take Oliver somewhere private and beat the crap out of him, giving Oliver the chance to escape. There's no reason Church wouldn't have his man do it right there in front of everyone, or even just do it himself.

* MythologyGag: One of the vigilantes Oliver has inspired is an unnamed "ski goggles guy". His sketch matches the character Vigilante from the comics. The character will show up later in the series.

* ShoutOut: Church emulates [[Series/TheWalkingDead Negan]] by circling around a group of people with a baseball bat, reciting a children's nursery rhyme (Duck, Duck, Goose rather than Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe ) to determine which of them to kill. Doubles as an ActorAllusion given Church is played by Chad Coleman, who had a recurring stint on ''Series/TheWalkingDead''.
