*CompensatingForSomething: Hannah says this about Mighty Pete, the yacht owner where the victim was last seen, when he arrives at the station.
-->'''Hannah:''' I took the liberty to ask Frank to get him to the station. Apparently, Mr Long refuses to answer to any name but "Mighty Pete". Must be compensating for something.
-->'''Amy:''' Hannah! That's not a way to talk about suspects!
*DeathByIrony: Even Roxie notes how poetic was for the victim, a professional diver, to be murdered by drowning.

-->'''Mighty Pete:''' I had to give her bigger and bigger gifts to please her, and just when I thought I had her under my control, she wants to leave?! SHE USED ME!
*HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Angie Cortez is this. Valerie also became one in her efforts to blend in among the elite of Ocean Shore and get hold of their money.

*MakeItLookLikeAnAccident: The killer sabotaged the victim's oxygen tank to make it appear she died of a diving accident.
*OpportunisticBastard: We learn that the victim did this ''a lot'' in her attempts to gain money, betraying her boyfriend and two best friends so she could blend in with the elite of Pacific Bay and get hold of some cash.
*{{Pride}}: One of the reasons why Mighty Pete killed Valerie was because she hurt his pride by playing him.
-->'''Mighty Pete:''' She had what she deserved. You don't leave Mighty Pete, it's Mighty Pete that leaves you!
*PursueTheDreamJob: {{Inverted}}. Roger Strout, an underwater photographer and former friend of Valerie, had to quit his dream job after she told a lot of people about his secret photographing spot. Fortunately, he manages to find another secret spot in the Additional Investigation.

*TamperingWithFoodAndDrink: Leah sent Mighty Pete a cooler full of ice cubes laced with laxatives so the people at his party would fall sick.
