* AmicablyDivorced: With his ex-wife Zoe. While their relationship is still tense due to Cal being, well, Cal, they make an effort to get along well for Emily's sake and are generally at least civil.
* BerserkButton: Cal can keep his cool around all manner of human scum but he absolutely despises those who hurt or abuse kids. He also loses it when someone hurts a member of his time. And if you even ''think'' of hurting Emily, there's no limit to what he will do to destroy you.
* BlessedWithSuck: Cal's brilliance and skill at spotting lies has come at the cost of struggling to maintain healthy relationships due to his obsession with honesty and treating every interaction as a battle where he has to outsmart his opponent.

* FreudianExcuse: Cal developed his obsession with his work after his mother took her own life when he was a teen and he blamed himself for not being able to see the warning signs.
* TheGadfly: Cal ''loves'' antagonizing and messing with people in the smallest of ways to provoke a reaction. Sometimes, it's for the good of a case and to draw a confession. Other times, it's simply for his own amusement.
* GoodIsNotNice: Cal can be a weapons grade jerk a lot of the time but he's always on the side of good and cares very deeply about those close to him.

From the main Berserk Button page: This trope is not about anger in response to something that would reasonably enrage someone, like being hurt or threatened, having a loved one hurt or threatened, being seriously insulted and disrespected, etc — anger in those situations is a reasonable response. (Extreme reactions to minor provocations may still qualify, however.) Also, Berserk Button does not apply if the worst that happens is if the character scowls or frowns at the provocation. It's "Berserk Button", not "Mildly Put Out Button".
