Line 35:
* [[Batman Gambit]]: {{spoiler|Esther transfuses Rex with all of Jack's extracted blood, which she had been collecting during the two-month timeskip in the last episode, knowing that the Families would likely try to destroy the samples}}.
* [[Blood Magic]]: The Blessing feeds on blood. By introducing a similar sample on both ends, it can be set to that specific person. The world was made immortal by giving it Jack's blood, and made mortal again by the same.
* [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick]]: Jilly's has ".. worked for the Rich, the powerful and the obese".
* [[Cat Fight]]: Gwen and Jilly
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: Rex's open chest wound.
Line 53:
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: See [[Dissonant Serenity]] above. Gwen is thinking, the music is turned down, time seems to have slowed... then she stops thinking and suddenly everything kicks back into a normal rhythm, including Gwen.
* [[Never Found the Body]]: Jilly is separated from Gwen and Jack during the explosion and they are forced to write her off. As it turns out, that was premature.
* [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain]]: The Families sent out the Torchwood mass email to draw Jack into the open so that they could kill him. They had no way of knowing that he had left the planet, and if they hadn't done that they wouldn't have to worry about him.
* [[Not So Different]]: Gwen makes a speech about how no one should have the ability to decide who lives and dies, having accused Oswald of doing that by killing the little girl. Oswald points out that by canceling the Miracle, which she is pushing for, she will be directly responsible for the deaths of everyone being sustained by it. He finds this "magnificent", and Gwen herself seems to realize it's a bit hypocritical.
* [[Precision F
* [[Punctuated Pounding]]: Gwen to Jilly: "How *punch* Much *punch* Bloody *punch* lipstick can you wear!
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: Jack gives one to Danes, saying that he's seen so much, and wishes Oswald could see it too, so that he could understand how ''small'' he really is.
* [[Redemption Equals Death]]: '''Brutally''' subverted with Danes, who not only manages to avoid redemption, but actually proves himself to be about ten times worse simply ''by'' sacrificing himself. Simply put, he commits a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] for ''very'' [[Complete Monster]] reasons.
* [[Sadistic Choice]]: {{spoiler|The Family member at Buenos Aires shoots Esther as a last-ditch attempt to stop Rex from cancelling out the Miracle. Gwen convinces him that it's better to let her die than give the Families power over life and death}}.
