* BolivianArmyEnding: Lee, Keith, and Charlie probably all already die at the end, in the explosion at the flat. There's barely any chance that any of them are still alive, but Lee did survive Keith's attempted murder...

* LaserGuidedKarma: For anyone who tries to use the hare selfishly - including Maz and Keith. Played with by both [[InspirationallyDisadvantaged Charlie]] and [[UndyingLoyalty Lee.]] Lee wishes that Charlie can walk just to give Keith something he wants, hoping that a genuinely selfless wish won't backfire. As a result, Charlie walks...and comes to see Keith at work, which results in him almost certainly getting killed by Frank's gas leak, along with Lee and Keith. While Charlie was an innocent, and Lee was trying to do the most selfless and honest thing under the circumstances, both benefited from the hare, so it kind of ''has'' to backfire on them, too.

* WeightLossHorror: Frank's wife Barbara was very overweight and felt a lot of self-consciousness and self-loathing about it. Even though Frank loved her just as she was, he wished for her to be thin so she would be happier. She ended up getting her wish...by dying of cancer, which caused her to fade away to a skeleton before dying.

* LiteralGenie: The hare is also one: Frank adores his obese wife [[JustTheWayYouAre just the way she is.]] However, her weight makes her miserable, so he wishes for her to be thin for her sake. She ends up getting seriously ill, losing all the weight that concerned her, and [[CruelAndUnusualDeath eventually ''starving to death'']] as Frank watched.

Council workers Maz, Keith and Nick are clearing out the flat of recently deceased Frank Meggins, an elderly loner. A video tape shows Frank hang himself as a result of a supposedly cursed artefact from India. Nick believes the curse to be true, in line with Frank's unexplained wishes for wealth, which came true. Maz's effort to capitalize on this does her no good, leading to a confrontation between her colleagues and a revelation.
