Line 39:
** Not to mention, it was unadvertised; only people who had seen Prison Break would know about the crossover.
* [[The Collector]]: Xavier Price
* [[DaddysDaddy's Girl]]: Ray's daughter, in a positive example.
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: Both cons and cops have theirs.
* [[Dead Little Sister]]: Subverted, in {{spoiler|Erica's daughter, who is actually alive and well. But her husband who has custody just won't allow Erica to see her.}}
Line 54:
* [[Expy]]: Lloyd is basically [[Prison Break|T-Bag]], taken down a few notches.
* [[Femme Fatale]]: Lilah in "Queen of Hearts." Starla in "Fun With Chemistry."
* [[Five -Man Band]]: The band got a little switched up in Season 2 due to {{spoiler|Charlie's death}}.
** Season 1
*** [[The Hero]]: Charlie
Line 77:
*** [[The Sixth Ranger]]: #3 Lloyd (6th Ranger [[The Chick]] )Lloyd is of course also [[The Smart Guy]] for the entire team, as well as [[Team Mom]] on occasion
 
* Also fits the sub-type of [[Five -Man Band]] of [[Three Plus Two]] or in this case Three Plus Three.
** Charles, Ray, Jules make up the base [[Power Trio]] and the [[Face Heel Turn]] three round it out.
** The 'Legal' power trio is Beauty Brains and Brawn with Beauty also being the [[Naive Newcomer]].
Line 94:
* [[The Mentor]]: Ray, to Jules.
* [[Mission Control]]: Jules, often with Lloyd.
* [[MommasMomma's Boy]]: Lloyd, though some of the things he says may point to [[Mommy Issues]] as well.
* [[Monster of the Week]]: Escaped Con of the Week in this case. Lampshaded by Ray in "SEAL'd Fate," when he introduces the "Scumbag of the Week" to the gang.
* [[My Beloved Smother]]: See above; he's not afraid to say that he hates her.
Line 100:
** [[The Reveal|Until it is.]] {{spoiler|Lloyd wrote illegal prescriptions to pay off his debts, and one girl committed suicide swallowing a handful of Percocet from one of them.}} He still beats himself up over it.
* [[Not So Different]]: Ray is an ex-Deputy U.S. Marshal {{spoiler|who, contrary to what he told the cons, stole money to buy his daughter a car,}} and lost his job {{spoiler|after he was convicted for it.}} He has been appointed as a Special Deputy U.S. Marshal, allowing him to carry a weapon, but {{spoiler|is currently on parole - a fact that he keeps hidden from the cons until Shea finds out. After Charlie's death, he is reinstated to his former position.}}
* [[N -Word Privileges]]: Shea stops doing business with Carmen Vega partly because she tried to get him to sleep with her and partly because she called him a "word he doesn't allow people who aren't black to call [him]".
** Homeslice doesn't begin with N
* [[Painted -On Pants]]: Erica's civilian attire.
* [[The Perfect Crime]]: More like the perfect ''murder'', actually several of them. {{spoiler|Erica}} is in prison on weapons charges, but {{spoiler|she actually killed five of the six men responsible for her father's death, but did it flawlessly and was never caught for it.}}
** Ronnie Marcum, the runner in "Self-Help." He started a fight with another inmate, sent a fake anthrax letter to the warden, and used the panic to escape long enough to kill some old friends blackmailing him. He then managed to sneak back ''into'' prison, having been gone for just a few hours, claiming to have been hiding from the other inmates in the confusion of the anthrax scare. The team doesn't get their month off because they couldn't prove he ever escaped. Marcum doesn't win, though -- they get him on a murder he committed as a teenager.
Line 108:
* [[Prison Rape]]: The younger runner in "Steaks" was a victim of this, {{spoiler|and escapes prison to kill the rapist.}}
* [[The Reveal]]: The cons eventually find out that {{spoiler|Ray is no longer a US Marshal}}, and Shea ends up calling him out on it. {{spoiler|Ray}} reacts in anger, calling out the cons on their various crimes and revealing exactly why Lloyd is in prison.
* [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]]: On the law side of the team, we have Charlie, [[Semper Fi|a former marine]] who has been restricted to desk work for six years due to a heart defect. Ray's [[Anti -Hero|aggressive style of policing cost him his badge and earned him a criminal conviction.]] Then we have [[Mission Control|Julianne]], who suffers from panic attacks and other problems that forced her to give up a promising future. The cons consist of a former gang kingpin, a brilliant profiler with a gambling problem, and a woman who can and will hunt you down and kill you if you cross her.
* [[Recruiting the Criminal]]: The main premise of the show revolves around this.
* [[Redneck]]: Beaumont and the Patriot Front in "Like Father, Like Son."
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Charlie is the Blue Oni who is "intellectual, proud, traditional, introverted, and cultured" and his mystery is his heart condition. The passionate, determined, defiant, and more brawny than brainy Ray is the [[Red Oni]]
* [[Running Gag]]: EVERYONE in "Where in the World is Carmen Vega" thinks Flo-Flo's name is stupid.
* [[Shut UP, Hannibal]]: Lloyd, when speaking to a [[Complete Monster]] they've just caught who made a lifetime out of victimizing people after he gives his [[Motive Rant]].
** '''Lloyd''': "Some people just come broken."
* [[Smug Snake]]: Beaumont in "Like Father, Like Son." Andre in "One for the Money."
Line 129:
** Gunderson, the bounty hunter from the pilot and another original Breakout King. He doesn't even make it into the field, though he makes a cameo appearance in "Off the Beaten Path."
* [[Wham Episode]]: The Season 2 premiere.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Lloyd takes Ray to task at the end of "Cruz Control" for {{spoiler|using him to kill Cruz instead of letting him talk the guy down.}}
* [[Would Not Shoot a Good Guy]]: The team are surprised when an escaped convict does not hurt people when given the opportunity. Based on his past crimes he should be acting violent and unstable. {{spoiler|He was wrongfully convicted.}}
* [[Wrongfully Accused]]: {{spoiler|Joe in "Out of the Mouths of Babes."}}
