Jarod impersonates a safecracker to get in on a heist team and protect one of the other team members, a reformed ex-con who has been blackmailed into doing the job. At the Centre, Miss Parker and Sydney clash with Mr. Lyle and Brigitte over the best way to pursue Jarod.
This episode contains examples of:
- Camera Spoofing: During the heist, the gang uses an electronic version of the "Polaroid punk" method, taking a photo of the room with a digital camera and then connecting that to the security camera. (And the transition is noticed by the man in the monitor room, because he's expecting it.)
- Continuity Nod: It is revealed that Sydney keeps a collection of Jarod-related mementoes; apart from the one introduced in the episode, it includes the Onisius sculpture Jarod left as a message when he escaped from the Centre ("Pilot"), and the toy monkey he sent as a taunt in "Curious Jarod".
- I Have Your Wife: Jarod helps a reformed burglar named Scott whose former colleagues kidnap his son to make him work for them again.
- Ironic Echo: Reluctant criminal Scott reveals to Jarod that the gun he carries is just a replica, and remarks that sometimes it's enough to just appear dangerous. At the climax of the episode, gang leader Nick threatens Jarod with his own gun, only to find that Jarod has rendered it harmless, and Jarod remarks to Scott that sometimes just appearing dangerous isn't enough.
- Nothing Personal:Nick: Scotty, that was business.
Scott: This is personal. - One Last Job: Reformed burglar Scott is persuaded to come in for one more job: "The deal is, one job and you and I are history". (He survives, because he has Jarod looking out for him.)
- Only a Lighter: Scott threatens Jarod with a gun, but when he pulls the trigger it's revealed to be a lighter; he keeps it for intimidation, but doesn't have it in him to actually shoot someone. At the end of the episode, the gang leader, Nick, threatens Scott and Jarod with his own gun, only to find that Jarod has sneakily remodeled it and now it's also just a lighter.
- The Password Is Always "Swordfish": Broots's idea of a secure password is his daughter's name. (And this man is their computer security expert?)
- Right Behind Me: Miss Parker sweeps into Broots's office, gloating that she's got a lead that will put her ahead of Brigitte and Mr. Lyle, only to realize from Broots and Sydney's frozen expressions that Brigitte and Mr. Lyle are behind her.
- Safecracking: Jarod poses as a safecracker.
- Scotty Time: Jarod poses as a safecraker. During the job, the head of the gang asks him how long until he's into the safe, he says five minutes, and the boss says he has three. In this case, it's not just the superior being annoying; that's genuinely how long they have until security notices something's up.
- Stating the Simple Solution: Mr. Lyle and Brigitte take over an operation to catch Jarod during a heist being planned by the gang Jarod is undercover in, and insist on waiting to grab him dramatically at the last moment. Miss Parker repeatedly tells them that they shouldn't take any chances and should grab Jarod immediately, but is overruled, giving Jarod a chance to get away.
- Take Our Word for It: Miss Parker secures a police detective's co-operation by giving him an envelope containing papers detailing the blackmail material she has on him. The contents of the papers are not revealed.
- "Well Done, Son" Guy: There's an element of this in Jarod's relationship with Sydney, the closest thing he had to a father growing up. In both present and flashback scenes, Jarod actually asks for acknowledgement, but Sydney won't give it to him because he feels it would be improper for a host of reasons. Viewers then see that Sydney has kept several mementos of Jarod, including a Father's Day card made by the young Jarod.
