* LetsYouAndHimFight: Caliban discovers that [[YouCanNeverLeave Fearless is planning to run away from the Syndicate]]. Fearless however has proven to be a OneManArmy, so he tells Vicious his best friend is screwing his girl. Either his son mans up and kills Fearless, adding to his reputation, or Fearless kills him which he clearly doesn't think will be much of a loss.

* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: When Ana warns Julia off the Syndicate, Julia says they're like bears--nice to look at but you don't wind down the windows. Next thing we see she's been dating Vicious for weeks.

* RedOniBlueOni: Fearless rides herd on his friends impulsive violence and everyone knows it, including Vicious. Ironically it's Fearless who ends up sanctioned by Caliban as a dangerous WildCard.

* HonorBeforeReason: Fearless has every reason to kill Vicious. He's long since paid his debt to his friend, there's a MobWar brewing, Vicious' own father has sanctioned the hit, even if Fearless refuses someone else will do the job [[MercyKill in a nastier manner]], it's a chance for Fearless to mend his bridges with his capo, and lets not forget that if he kills Vicious he'll have Julia all to himself. Fearless has a clear opportunity with Vicious off his guard with his neck exposed and gun well out of reach. Instead he decides to wipe out the entire Neptune cartel single-handed, without even taking Vicious as backup. The worse thing is it's AllForNothing.

* LoveIsAWeakness: Fearless tells Julia he avoided attachments so he would not be afraid of losing anything, but that's changed now that he's fallen in love with her. That explains why he [[ThatManIsDead insists on being called Spike Spiegel]] even with those who knew him as [[MeaningfulName Fearless]].
