!"The House on Sycamore Street" displays symptoms of the following tropes:


* ArmsDealer: Webber is introduced buying the gun he is to use in Gantry's "assassination" from one of these guys, who he kills soon after.
* AttackOnTheHeart: Webber kills the arms dealer this way, and with the gun he sold him to boot.
* CarFu: Webber has a thing for running people over, apparently, as he tries to hit Amanda while fleeing Zachary's condo and later tries to run mark down in the street.
* ConspicuouslyPublicAssassination: Gantry arranges for Harry to be shot dead at the dinner for Community General.
* DisneyVillainDeath: Webber sends Zachary to the grave by throwing him from a balcony.
* FakingTheDead: J.D. Gantry set this up in order for him to disappear after stealing his customer's money.
* ImpostorForgotOneDetail: Not that Lennox knew this detail, let alone his murder, but Mark figures out that the Gantry attending the dinner is not the real one, as he doesn't have the bandage on his finger J.D. had from cutting his finger.
* OnlyKnownByInitials: No-one says what the "J.D." in J.D. Gantry stands for.
* PreMortemOneLiner: Webber gives off one of these as he gets in the elevator with Zach.
->I hate elevator music [''pulls a pistol on Zach'']... don't you?
* ShoutOut: Upon seeing Mark in his bandaged getup, Gantry says he resembles ''Literature/TheInvisibleMan''.
* SpecialGuest: Creator/GeorgeHamilton as J.D. Gantry.
* StealingFromTheTill: Justine was stealing from the bank in order to cover Zachary's debts. As it turns out, Gantry has been doing so for a while, hence the need for this plot.
* TitleDrop: Dr. Stern
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Once Lennox has the surgery to look like Gantry, Gantry murders Dr. Stern to keep him from potentially revealing the plot.
