* [[Appendage Assimilation]]: Sid can regrow blown off appendages with glass. It doesn't appear to be that pleasant for him.

* [[Ax Crazy]]: Sid has 183 criminals in his mind, so that's the result.

* [[Beard of Sorrow]]: Barnes has a beard and dreadlocks as a prisoner. He shaves them when he is reinstated to hunt Sid.

* [[Magic Countdown]]: Double subverted with the last bomb...which countdowns normally, until Barnes tries anything...at which point it speeds up...desperate, Barnes uses wiring in his prosthetic arm to try and foul it up...which only makes it countdown faster...and then glitch up, "deactivating" the bomb.

* [[Mix and Match Man]]: Sid 6.7 is created from the personalities of 183 criminals. And an orchestra director.
