Just as Jonathan is being remanded into M-6 custody, the car crashes and Jonathan disappears. M-6 agent Jessica insists it's important to get him back before he has a chance to do any damage, but Sue suspects that the fugitive is just an innocent man in the wrong place at the wrong time.
This episode includes examples of the following tropes:
- Air Vent Escape: When Sue is taken to a hotel for safety, Jonathan sneaks into the room through the air vent to get her out. The agents only find this out afterwards; the air vent had been blocked and left off the blueprints.
- Animal Chick Magnet: When Jack asks the others to let him talk to Sue privately, Lucy decides to walk Levi. Myles goes with her, saying animals are good for attracting girls.
- Bond One-Liner: When he tracks down the British villain of the episode, Dmitrius comments on her reading the sports page and comments that it looks like the Yankees (American agents) won this one.
- Disappointed by the Motive: When the FBI finally catches "Barney", aka James Dooley, a programmer responsible for the creation of the missile-hacking software, the guy protests that all he wanted was a shot at the American Dream: money, cars, women. Someone was going to do it sooner or later, and so he might as well benefit from it. Myles and Bobby are profoundly unimpressed by this motive for treachery.
- Evil Brit: M-6 agent Jessica turns out to be the mystery buyer. She told Jonathan to eliminate Corky on a false reason and had Jonathan's handler executed. All she needed was to kill Jonathan before he got his memory back.
- Flashback-Montage Realization: Downplayed; when Jonathan remembers that Jessica was the mystery buyer, Sue remembers one incident in which she made a phone call after they made a discovery about Jonathan's handler. This leads her to realize that the call was an order to have the man executed.
- Ironic Echo: Earlier, Jack and Jessica talk about their past, and Jessica mentions they were two people in the wrong place at the wrong time, hinting that this time and place might be different. When Jessica gets arrested, Jack points out that this new time and place didn't work out because they were different people.
- It's All My Fault: Sue feels very guilty when the rest of the office becomes suspicious that Jonathan killed one of the other M-6 workers, though she still can't believe he would do something like this. Jessica doesn't help by accusing her of letting this happen by being over-sympathetic to the rogue agent, but Jack tells her to lay off and insists it wasn't Sue's fault. Sue also turns out to be right that Jonathan didn't kill the victim.
- The Kindnapper: Jonathan kidnaps Sue, but it's because she's the only person he trusts. He doesn't hurt her, and Sue isn't afraid that he will; they spend most of their time calmly collaborating.
- Leave the Two Lovebirds Alone: When Jack asks for a moment with Sue, Lucy suddenly remembers she needs to walk Levi and asks who wants to go with her. Myles says that walking a dog isn't a job that requires all of them, but after a pointed look from Lucy, everyone gets the idea and suddenly finds something to do elsewhere.
- A Mother to Her Men: Subverted; Jessica yells at Sue for trusting Jonathan after his handler ends up dead while he's in the area and reels off the name of the dead man's wife and son. However, she turns out to be involved in the theft of missile-hacking codes, and she had the victim killed herself.
- Trespassing to Talk: Given that Jonathan feels it necessary to find the truth himself, he sneaks up on Sue a number of times to talk to her, including kidnapping her the second time.
- Villain with Good Publicity: Jessica is an M-6 agent who was overseeing Jonathan when he supposedly went rogue and works with the FBI on the case, continually harping on the importance of getting Jonathan back in custody before he can complete his nefarious plans. She turns out to be involved in buying a program that can be used to hack American missiles, but it's not until late in the episode that Jonathan remembers this.
