The Series

  • Catharsis Factor: After Derran spent the past episode harassing and threatening J for finding out he's secretly gay, seeing Pope rip into him for nearly botching the safe job and praising J at his expense for cutting the non-live wire in the way of their exit, saving the mission is immensely satisfying. Also doubles as a Funny Moment.
    Pope: Say thank you J, for actually having some balls!
  • Heartwarming Moment: When Baz hits J, Derran and Craig immediately leap to their nephews defense.
  • Retroactive Recognition:
    • Though he'd had a fairly long and steady, if rather low-key, career both up to this series and after it, Shawn Hatosy's late-coming Star-Making Role as Dr. Jack Abbot on The Pitt caused a very sharp rise in interest in his role as Pope here amongst his suddenly much, much larger fanbase.
  • The Woobie: Jay certainly fits the bill as his uncles are terrifying and abuse him left and right.
    • Pope is actually more sympathetic here even as he's no less dangerous.
