Quicksave
Locus' rescue of the Reds and Blues runs into a few problems, all of which provided by the Reds and Blues.
Tropes
- Cliffhanger: The episode abruptly ends with Wash wandering out into the middle of the battlefield and getting shot in the neck.
- Hates Being Touched: Locus groans out "I hate this," when Caboose hugs him.
- Heel–Face Turn: Sarge, having had a Heel Realization, shoots one of the Blues and Reds' mooks to save the reporters.
- Leeroy Jenkins: Tucker, still pissed at the Blues and Reds, just runs out and starts a firefight with the soldiers guarding the hanger. This ultimately gets Wash shot.Locus: We had the element of surprise, now we're just fish in a barrel!
- Licked by the Dog: After Locus frees the Reds and Blues, Caboose his seen hugging him in gratitude. Not that Locus appreciates it though.
- Loophole Abuse: While Locus has sworn to never kill again, he's perfectly willing to shoot someone in the kneecaps if he has to.
- "Not So Different" Remark: When the Freelancers express suspicion at Locus' change of heart, Locus points out that they too have done wrong, and managed to change.
- The Unreveal: Sarge gets Dylan and Jax to help him save the others and support him despite his betrayal by finally telling them his birth name, but it is off-screen and is only given a few hints to further tease it.Jax: Seriously, is that like, Russian? Scandinavian? Pig Latin?
Sarge: My family history ain't part of the deal.
Jax: How do you even spell it? It sounded like 57 syllables.
Sarge: Well, you need a Mandarin keyboard to get it exactly right and the fifth letter is an emoji.
