** Also, when Olivia interviews the "mom", she indicates the police called her ahead of time, presumably to make sure she was warned before she could use the possibly-tainted formula herself. It's possible that they ''did'' keep the real and fake cans separate usually, but put them together specifically in anticipation of the cops' arrival so that it wouldn't look suspicious.

* The scene between Benson and Dodds at the end of "The Newsroom" takes on an added layer when you compare the title cards for that episode with those from "Heartfelt Passages". The day that Benson and Dodds are having this conversation is either [[spoiler:the exact one-year anniversary of Mike's death]] or the day right before it[[note]]the title card only gives the date that [[spoiler:Mike was shot]], and it's not entirely clear how much time passes before [[spoiler:his death]][[/note]].

* In "Babes", four teenage girls make a pact to get pregnant and raise their babies together. When Tina's brother Alec finds out that a guy named Josh got her pregnant, he jumps to the conclusion that Josh must have raped her, hunts him down and murders him. We find out that the teenagers attend a Catholic high school that emphasizes abstinence and saving sex before marriage, even having a club called the Chastity Circle. Catholicism traditionally teaches that a girl's virginity is precious and that she must save it for her future husband. Because of his upbringing (if he was raised Catholic), Alec likely developed some kind of MadonnaWhoreComplex and viewed young girls as pure, angelic beings who would never even consider having sex before marriage. When he heard that Tina got pregnant, from his point of view he had two options: believe that his precious, innocent little sister had consensual sex with a 22-year-old man, or believe that she was raped by said 22-year-old man (and the age difference would make it easier for him to believe the latter). He couldn't fathom the former, so he went with the latter and brutally murdered Josh to "restore his sister's honor". Granted, he's still an idiot for not even asking Tina what happened before he went and killed Josh.

If he grew up Catholic, Alec would have been taught to see virgin girls as innocent beings who would never even consider having sex before marriage; he couldn't fathom the idea of his precious, innocent little sister voluntarily having sex and decided that Josh must have raped her (when confronted about it by the police, he even refers to his actions as "honor"). Granted, he's still an idiot for not even asking Tina what happened before he went and murdered Josh.

* In "Hothouse", the VictimOfTheWeek is a math prodigy named Elsa who was the top student at her elite prep school, and the culprit is her rival Jennifer, who hated her because she couldn't outscore her on tests. The two girls were bitter rivals who absolutely loathed each other, with Jennifer describing Elsa as an InsufferableGenius who wouldn't even give her the time of day. We also find out that Elsa's father put her through TrainingFromHell from a very young age to make her a genius, abused her regularly and forced her to enter math competitions for the prize money to cover his gambling debts. Growing up, Elsa probably never had time to make friends or develop social skills, which would have made her come across as insufferable to Jennifer, on top of all the pressure that was already being put on both of them to outscore each other.
