Line 1:
{{tropework}}
* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: Annie wanting to read-in her sister, but only for a short while.
** {{spoiler|Annie telling Auggie that she likes him.}}
* [[Fan -Preferred Couple]]: Annie/Auggie is by far the most popular pairing, outstripping [[Official Couple|Official Couples]] Annie/Jai and Annie/Ben.
* [[Fridge Brilliance]]: Of ''course'' Joan thinks Arthur is cheating: {{spoiler|she's his second wife, and their relationship started as an affair.}}
* [[Marty Stu]]: Ben has strong elements of this.
Line 9:
** Jai/Ben is also being considered. {{spoiler|One can certainly interpret things into that look that passed between them at the shipyard...}}
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Referenced in-verse. In the fifth episode a retired [[The Spymaster|spymaster]] appears, whom Auggie nicknames [[Satan|The Prince of Darkness]].
** May also count as a cross-show [[Shout -Out]] since sister show Burn Notice (also featuring spies) has used the nickname twice. Maybe it's a spy thing.
* [[Special Effects Failure]]: Much like sister show, White Collar, some of the green screen scenes are... dubious.
** In London, Annie sits in a park during "I Can't Quit You, Baby" and it's painfully obvious that the park is a green screen.
Line 18:
** ''[[Subverted]]'' in "World Leader Pretend.'' {{spoiler|Annie's sister kicks her out after finding out she's in the [[CIA]].}}
* [[Tear Jerker]]: Auggie's [[Oh Crap]] moment when he sees the terrorist {{spoiler|plant a bomb near his comrades.}}
{{quote| ''Auggie:'' Hey, {{spoiler|you gotta get out of there, there's a bomb! Chris? Jason? RUN! ''{{[[[Moment of Silence]] sound cuts out as dramatic music plays}}, [[My Greatest Failure|bomb explodes]]]''}}}}
** Annie ''finally'' working up the courage to {{spoiler|tell Auggie she likes him, only to have him reveal that he's following his girlfriend to Africa.}}
* [[The Woobie]]: Most of the characters, especially [[Iron Woobie|Auggie]].
