This episode contains examples of:

  • Bulletproof Vest: The episode revolves around the death of a SWAT officer who was killed in the line of duty, while wearing a bullet-proof vest, by somebody using armor-piercing "cop killer" bullets.
  • The Mafiya: The investigation involves an arms smuggler with links to the Russian mafia.
  • Memento MacGuffin: Sydney's pocket watch is revealed to have been a gift from the love of his life.
  • New Old Flame: Michelle, who was the love of Sydney's life but one day broke off their relationship and left town without saying goodbye. After Jarod arranges a reunion, Sydney learns that she was warned off by the Centre, who didn't want Sydney distracted from his work. Unlike many instances of the trope, it's not used as a shortcut to a relationship; Michelle has moved on too far to pick up where she and Sydney left off.
  • Wall of Weapons: Jarod's preparation for his investigation includes spending some time inhabiting the skin of a gun nut with a wall of weapons.
