Torchwood/Recap/S4/E04 Escape to L.A.: Difference between revisions

=== Tropes in this episode include: ===

* [[Acceptable Targets]]: Dr. Juarez:

* [[Affably Evil]]: The Triangle's [[Voice with an Internet Connection|representative]] apologizes to Mayor Monroe about having to {{spoiler|"kill" her}}, claiming that under other circumstances, they could have been friends.

* [[Ancient Conspiracy]]: The Triangle is evidently this.

* [[Continuity Nod]]: Jack uses the alias John Smith, a favorite of the Doctor.

* [[Cryptic Conversation]]: The assassin gives one of these.

* [[Dark Messiah]]: Danes was on the road to becoming one last episode, but he really skyrockets into it here.

* [[Eye Scream]]: Of a sort. {{spoiler|The leader of the Dead is Dead movement, Ellis Hartley Monroe, having been deemed a nuisance by the shadow organization, is trapped in her car and put through a car compactor. Her eye is still intact after it finishes.}}

* [[Just Between You and Me]]: The assassin is all-too willing to spill his guts about the Triangle to Gwen and Jack. Partially justified in that he was extremely dissatisfied with the miracle ruining his profession.

* [[Killed Mid-Sentence]]: Well, not quite killed, but shot mid-sentence. In the throat, no less. Lampshaded by Gwen.

'''Gwen''': [[Lampshade Hanging|He was just about to tell us!]] }}

* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: See [[The Un-Reveal]] below.
