* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: While Barry ''was'' manipulated and preyed upon by a man he viewed as a father figure who took advantage of his troubled mental state for his own benefit, he still went along with him and killed numerous people for years and his actions in Los Angeles show he is willing to continue doing it without Fuches' prompting, both of which he refuses to meaningfully acknowledge and take responsibility for. During their confrontation, Janice even cuts through his excuses by pointing out he's still a ''murderer''.
