No VFX budget for an elaborate psychic battle? No problem!
Unlikely alliances are formed and the search for the Shadow King begins.
Tropes:
- Dramatic Wind: During the David vs. Oliver and Lenny psychic battle
Dance-Off, a very strong wind blows through in the middle and at the end of their confrontation even though they're inside a nightclub. - Gilded Cage: Lenny and Oliver are shown in one at the beginning of the episode.
- Mirthless Laughter: The script reveals that Lenny and Oliver's laughter at the end of the opening scene is this."He starts to laugh too. They laugh longer and harder than seems normal, until it reaches the point of hysteria."
- Mushroom Samba: After a bitter conversation with Syd, Melanie smokes something (hashish?) and totally trips out.
- The Faceless: Admiral Fukuyama, who wears a basket over his head that conceals his face.
- The Reveal: We see Amahl Farouk's true appearance for the first time.
