* '''Deconstructed''': While focused on using the electric torture to break her, Dr. Sadistic doesn't pay attention and sets the voltage too high. Alice ends up literally shocked to death, long before she even considers giving up information, and all he has to show for it is a smoldering corpse. His eagerness to break Alice results in a massive waste of time at best and inspires Alice's agency to retaliate harshly in response to one of their agents being murdered at worst.



* '''Played For Laughs''': The power keeps flickering on and off, and Dr. Sadistic expresses annoyance at it, akin to a constantly rebooting computer. Alice can only stare at him with the most bored look on her face, occasionally snarking on if he needs help.

** Dr. Sadistic is a legitimate psychiatric professional (with an admittedly foreboding name) who administers electroconvulsive therapy after obtaining informed consent from Alice and providing anaesthesia. This helps Alice manage a mental illness after medication didn't work for her.
