Tropes present in this episode:

- Forced to Watch: Will, Nomi, and Riley as Jonas is about to be killed.
- Internal Reveal: Nomi tells Bug about Sensates.
- I Take Offense to That Last One: When the cluster meets Vincent, Lito is enraptured by him. But when Puck quotes one of his movies and Vincent describes the movie as "cheesy", Lito instantly loses all respect for him.
- I Will Only Slow You Down: Min-jung tells Sun she's returning to the prison with the detectives because of this trope, as she's an old lady whom the prison can't really hurt anymore, compared to an athletic young woman like Sun.
- Open-Minded Parent: Raoul's father indicates he knew his son was gay and didn't care.
- Title Drop: By writers speaking at Amanita's bookstore.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Discussed; Jonas thought that his connection with Will would be enough to keep him alive.
