Line 79:
* [[If You're So Evil Eat This Kitten]]: ''The Night of Morningstar'' has a tragic version where {{spoiler|Ben Christie ''actually goes through with it'', because he had just found out that the villains were going to execute a terrorist bombing later that night killing tens of thousands and he absolutely could not die or blow his cover before he had a chance to warn someone. Then, after he murders an innocent teenaged girl to prove that he's not an infiltrator, the villains laugh at him and inform him that they already knew he was CIA even before the test started, and they just wanted to have fun with him. Ben doesn't really survive the revelation.}}
* [[I Know Madden Kombat]]: Cricketing skills allow a missionary to play [[Grenade Hot Potato]] in "A Better Day to Die".
* [[Impossible Mission]]: Any time Sir Gerald Tarrant asks Modesty for help, it is only because all remotely sane solutions have either no hope of working or have already failed. The only exceptions are when he asks her for an inconsequential favor as a friend, not business, and it invariably blows up into one of these anyway.
* [[Improvised Weapon]]: At least [[Once an Episode]]
* [[Ironic Nickname]]: Her mentor started calling her "Modesty" as a joke (she doesn't know her real name).
