Retired Badass: Rose's aunt and uncle are a married pair. Not that it keeps them alive past the first ten minutes or so. There's also their old friend and partner Lorna, a Cool Old Lady who keeps a shotgun behind the front door. | |

Artistic License – Biology | |
| The Night Agent / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: At a zoo, Farr claims that, majestic and powerful as they are in the wild, big predators in captivity are basically giant housepets. Many a zookeeper will attest otherwise: animals in captivity are still wild animals, and even with training and very careful handling, they can still be very dangerous. | |

Would Hurt a Child | |
| The Night Agent / int_479d4e5a | comment |
Would Hurt a Child: Dale and Ellen masquerade as parents to gain entry to a woman's house, using an actual baby as a prop. After they murder the owner, they just leave the baby strapped into a carrier and sitting on the kitchen table; for all they care the kid can die of neglect and starvation, not to mention they obviously kidnapped the baby in the first place.note A few episodes later, Matteo/Colin tells Maddie about the incident and says the baby was found and returned to her mother, but we have no way of knowing whether or not he was telling the truth. This incident also serves as an Establishing Character Moment for the two of them; they are absolutely heartless and will kick any dog if it helps them. | |

Sympathetic Villain, Despicable Villain: The series features a Big Bad Duumvirate between Corrupt Corporate Executive Gordon Wick and Corrupt Politician Vice President Ashley Redfield. Both act as the masterminds behind the Metro bombing which nearly kills thousands but differ in how the work depicts them. Wick is a slimy Only in It for the Money mercenary just wanting to advance his profits but Redfield is a genuine Well-Intentioned Extremist who planned the bombing in order to kill a suspected terrorist who he believes would pose a danger and gets Pet the Dog moments which show he's more nuanced than initially thought to be. | |

Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Twisted as she is, Ellen is fully and passionately in love with Dale, and he loves her the same way. She goes utterly berserk after he's killed. Farr is genuinely friend with President Michelle Travers which is why Redfield and Wick concealed their plan to assassinate her because they know it's a line Farr wouldn't cross. Ashley Redfield loved his late wife and newborn daughter who drowned in his pool. This is exploited by the Metro bomber who takes his other daughter Maddie as a hostage. Colin Worley, the Metro bomber, seeks to avenge the death of his twin brother who was eliminated by the conspiracy. | |

Establishing Character Moment: Peter gives up his seat on the subway to a woman and her daughter; he's a genuinely Nice Guy. Then, after finding a bomb and hustling the passengers off, he spots the bomber, fights him, and gives chase for several blocks until being hit by a car; he's also The Determinator. Dale and Ellen are first seen cold-bloodedly killing Rose's aunt and uncle (by gunshot and strangulation, respectively). Then they use someone else's baby as a prop to infiltrate a house, murder the owner, and then abandon the baby to most likely die. | |

A Million Is a Statistic: The reasoning behind the Metro bombing. VP Redfield and his conspirators were targeting Omar Zadar, but knew that an assassination would make him a martyr to his supporters. By setting up an explosion that would have taken out two whole city blocks, they would be able to paint Zadar as a terrorist who got caught in his own bomb. | |

Minority Police Officer: Erik Monks and Chelsea Arrington are black Secret Service agents, while the director Ben Almora is a Latino. Peter's old friend Cisco is also a state trooper and he's Asian. In a flashback we learn that Chelsea's mom was against her career, believing the US doesn't care about black people, though she supports her daughter nonetheless. Erik and her also know it's harder for them, as black agents, to rise up in the ranks. After Almora's death, another black agent becomes the director. | |

Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters: Omar Zadar. It's ambiguous whether or not he's responsible for the bombings in the past that VP Redfield accuses him of, but by the time of the series POTUS sees Zadar as the best chance to bring democracy to his country while Redfield is vehemently opposed to allying with him. That Redfield is affiliated with arms manufacturers who supply Zadar's opponents is also a factor. | |
