• Brought Down to Normal: Quinn has returned to being normal ever since Rourke took the Island’s Heart. She can’t use her powers, but she can sense the second half of the Heart.
• Chekhov's Gun: Jake is busy turning ropes into nets. During the attack on the Arachnid ship, Raj can put that net to good use in the fight.
• Combat Pragmatist: Malatesta’s second rule is to use the sea as a weapon. It comes in handy against an electric mook.
• Don't Celebrate Just Yet: Just as soon as Taylor and Sean recover the other half of the Heart, Cetus appears!
• Dressed to Plunder: Before the attack on the Arachnid ship, Taylor gets the chance to put on the Swash My Buckle costume which is definitely something worthy of the Pirates of the Caribbean series. Wearing it gets points with Raj, Diego, Michelle and Jake.

• Guns vs. Swords: The group comes in with 18th century pirate swords against high tech assault rifles. The group wins.
• Heel–Face Return: Sean tries to get Aleister to come back to the group. Taylor can either support that decision or feel like he’ll just turn around and betray them.
• "I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight: Jake does this with Mouse, aka Mike, trying to get Mike to remember him. Unfortunately, the brainwashing wins.

• Painful Rhyme: Played for laughs. In Sean’s vision, he points out that his mom did this just to get something to rhyme with Gayle.
• Pin-Pulling Teeth: Malatesta does this to Yvonne’s “perfume”, which is a gas grenade.

• Talk Like a Pirate: Taylor does a little of this after putting on the Swash My Buckle outfit.

  Raj: “No! Don’t eat me! I know my name is on the menu, but that doesn’t mean—-

• What the Hell, Hero?: Michelle and Jake aren’t pleased at Sean offering Aleister a chance to come back. They can say the same to Taylor if they also want him back.
