Tropes that appear in this episode:

  • Big Sister Attraction: One of the reasons why Yuri rejects Yor's marriage is that he's attracted to her.
  • Cigarette Burns: The interrogator before Yuri extinguishes his cigarette on Hayward's (the interrogated) hand. This is to lampshade how ruthless the SSS can be.
  • Dramatic Drop: Loid does this twice while doing the dishes, both times when Yor makes the excuse she didn't tell Yuri about her marriage because she forgot about it.
  • Faux Horrific: Yor is totally horrified when Loid comes in for a kiss in the final scene.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: Yuri brought a bottle of wine hoping he'd be able to get Loid drunk and suss out anything suspicious. Not only did bringing the bottle cause Loid to discover Yuri is a Secret Police agent, Yuri ends up drinking a lot more than Loid.
  • I Need a Freaking Drink: Yuri chugs down wine when he witnesses Loid and Yor being on First-Name Basis.
  • Liquid Courage: Yor drinks straight from the bottle to gather the courage to kiss Loid.
  • Not His Blood: A flashback shows young Yor coming home to Yuri from an assassin mission with blood all over her. He is shocked but her inner monologue reveals that it wasn't her blood.
  • Right for the Wrong Reasons: Yuri is right that there's something suspicious about Loid, but it stems from his unhealthy attachment to Yor rather from actually discovering he's Twilight.
  • Saying Too Much: Loid quickly discovers Yuri is a Secret Police agent when the story he tells about the wine he brought does not fit with current matters.
  • Secret Police: Yuri works for the Ostanian State Security Service
  • Taught by Television: Loid notes that Anya being knowledgeable about Counting Bullets is something she picked up from watching spy fiction.
  • What Does She See in Him?: Yuri asks himself this question when he meets Loid.
