=== This series provides examples of: ===
* [[Acting for Two]]: Every episode that has both brothers, which is almost all of them. A very effective example too, with Michael Easton delivering dueling performances far above the quality of the show's other actors.
* [[Bounty Hunter]]: Clear Sky.
Line 32 ⟶ 31:
** Booth is trying to give Gus a sporting chance at clearing his name; if Booth wanted to just have Gus live his life as a fugitive, he could disappear somewhere Gus would never find him, or kill himself somewhere the body would never be recovered. By staying alive and staying in the Pacific Northwest (the region both brothers grew up in), Booth is giving his brother a real chance to prove his innocence.
* [[Going for The Big Scoop]]: Booth, posing as Gus, entices a journalist to write the story of "Gus's" guilt for fame. Gus offers another journalist an exclusive on his story if she will help to clear him in another episode.
* [[Good Smoking, Evil Smoking]]: The evil variety: smoking is the one sure fire way to tell the evil twin apart from the good. In theory this should also provide decent evidence that Gus is innocent, were it not that his chief police antagonist suffers from [[Revenge Before Reason]].
* [[Hunting the Most Dangerous Game]]: One episode features a hunter in a rural pacific northwest town who favors this as his pray. However, Gus manages to beat him at his own game.
* [[Identification By Dental Records]]: Used in an episode in which Gus staged a ruse to convince others he was dead.
Line 38 ⟶ 37:
* [[Incriminating Indifference]]: Subverted in "The Reckoning." Booth's indifference to a photo of a dying victim of his leads the victim's father to believe he's innocent, while Gus' emotional reaction leads him to believe Gus is guilty.
* [[Intrepid Reporter]]: Paula Muncy, Margo Reese, and Diana Polaski
* [[ItsIt's Personal]]: Both for Gus and for the FBI Agent pursuing him on the belief he is Booth.
* [[Jurisdiction Friction]]: Usually Between agent Carter and local police. Sometimes between agent Forbes and local police.
* [[MacGuffin]]: Bringing Booth into the authorities so that Gus can indisputably prove his innocence drives many of the show's stories.
