* NewRulesAsThePlotDemands: A minor example, and isolated to this episode. Audrey and Nathan insist that Chris ''inherited'' his Trouble, and planned his father's death to do so. They speak about it as though Chris would never have become Troubled unless his father died so it could be passed on. According to the show's mythology, this isn't how Troubles work. They're genetic, but non-transferable, and the Troubled person has no control over what triggers it--generally, it's an ''unexpected'' traumatic emotional event. This could just be Audrey and Nathan grasping at straws, but it's very jarring given it's the first and only time they talk about the Troubles this way.

* NewRulesAsThePlotDemands: A minor example, and isolated to this episode. Played with. Chris's Trouble is triggered when he sees his father die, which tracks with the show's mythology of a trigger usually being an unexpected traumatic emotional event. However, the way Audrey and Nathan talk about it is very strange, particularly since they're the ones more experienced with the mythology. They insist that Chris ''inherited'' his Trouble, and planned his father's death to do so. They speak about it Trouble, as though Chris would never it were willed to him, and he wouldn't have become been Troubled unless if his father hadn't died so to pass it could be passed on. According to This is not how Troubles work in the show's mythology, this isn't how mythos--while Troubles work. They're genetic, but non-transferable, are [[Recap/HavenS1E13Spiral genetic,]] they're not transferable, and [[Recap/HavenS1E12Resurfacing more than one person]] in a family can be Troubled at one time. Not to mention the Troubled person has have no control over what triggers it--generally, it's an ''unexpected'' traumatic emotional event. their Trouble, and it cannot be triggered deliberately. This could just be Audrey and Nathan grasping at straws, trying to goad Chris into admitting something, but it's still very jarring given it's the first and only time they weird to hear them talk about the Troubles this way.

* NewRulesAsThePlotDemands: A minor example, and one that is pretty exclusive to this episode, but it's very strange to hear Nathan and Audrey insist that Chris ''inherited'' his father's Trouble on the event of his death, as though his CharmPerson Trouble is a sum of money, and that Chris might have been complicit in killing his father to gain this Trouble. This runs contradictory to the show's regular mythology, that says while Troubles do run in families, there's no consistency as to who in a family is Troubled, and the Troubled do not have control over what emotionally devastating event triggers the Trouble.
