* AdultFear: Invoked when Nick tells Samantha why he was fired from his job; he got blackout drunk at a business event and was accused by his co-worker of some sort of sexual misconduct (implied to be rape), and the worst part is: Nick isn't sure if he actually did it or not. Samantha is a brand new neighbor who's husband hasn't moved into the house yet, all alone with a man who just revealed this and is drinking an exuberant amount of beer ... she is clearly quite disturbed and excuses herself quickly from the situation (although she does calm down later).

* ArtisticLicenseLaw: As the house is in both of their names, the two are still married, and Catherine has not pressed any charges against Nick, there is no legal ground that she can kick Nick out of the house, neither can he be arrested for breaking into his own house. Really erroneous when Detective Frank says if Nick tried to break in he'd be arrested, which is a lie (then again, Frank is later revealed to clearly be on Catherine's side, so he may have been lying on purpose).
