* We're introduced to Zero Matter, a possibly extraterrestrial or -dimensional substance that sucked a bunch of people and trucks into nothing upon its arrival, and which is set loose at episode's end. Whitney Frost, who's spent the entire first two episodes being completely smug and unflappable, is absolutely ''horrified'' when she discovers she's been infected by it.

* The serial killer is not found at the episodes end. Meaning he (or she) is still on the loose, and still able to strike at any time. And because of what happened with the lead detective on the case, who knows if they will ever find the killer.

* We are shown that the dentist [[spoiler: Dottie]] [[{{Recap/AgentCarterS1E6ASinToErr}} killed in the last episode]] [[NauseaFuel was left to rot at his own office]].

[[FridgeHorror Remembering]] [[spoiler: Dottie]] [[FridgeHorror was communicating with Ivchenko in the same room in a previous scene]] only adds up to it.
