Tropes applying to this episode:

  • Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Gloria lies to Glynn to keep Ryan from being charged with Keenan's murder.
  • Call-Back: Glynn recalls Ryan and Arif's past 'beef' from the season one finale.
  • Chronic Villainy: Miguel assaults Giles as soon as he is let out of solitary. He tells McManus it doesn't matter if he behaves as Glynn will find a way to make his life hell regardless.
  • Downer Ending: The inmates' families are all killed when the prison bus crashes, save for Jewel Schillinger. The only one who gets any happiness is Vern due to the fact that his granddaughter survived.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: The inmates are all greatly upset by the deaths of their family members.
  • Not Me This Time: Ryan pins Keenan's death on Stanton.
  • "Not So Different" Remark: Beecher says Said and Vern possess similar ideals and values which is scathing to the both of them.
  • Never My Fault: Omar demands an apology from McManus after assaulting him.
  • Pay Evil unto Evil: Guerra wants to kill Alvarez to avenge Carlo Ricardo and Jorge Vasquez.
  • Took a Level in Jerkass: McManus notes that Said has gone to a darker place since killing Adebisi.
  • Voice of Reason: Sister Pete talks both Beecher and Vern into trying to end the war between the Aryans and the Muslims. Beecher is picked precisely because he is able to get along with both Vern and Said.
