* Eddie seems like he's going for his deal with Atwood to be a PuppetKing in trade for a [[TitleDrop limitless]] supply of NZT, as Atwood bought out the company that makes it. But once they get to the car, Eddie politely declines and brings up that for a long time, he had built a way to permanently have the benefits of NZT without its side-effects, flexing this onto Atwood before showing him the door.

* The fact that Eddie, high off NZT, still gets caught off-guard by Van Loon's astute observations that his raw intellect is completely unearned and he doesn't actually know how to use it well. Even without the drug, Van Loon is still somehow trading blows with Eddie's super intelligence. Really shows [[NormalFishInATinyPond how dumb Eddie actually is]] compared to someone who's smart without the drug.

** And just the fact that the series does its due diligence to hammer in the fact that just because some people aren't on NZT, doesn't make them any less competent compared to those who do. Rebecca, Boyle, and the whole of the CJC are always considered very intelligent and competent law enforcement and can get the job done without Brian's help if need be. Often Brian is really there to either help get a case solved much faster, or to deal with cases WAY too off the wall for people who would think normally but otherwise is just another cog rather than the only star of the team.
