* BittersweetEnding: Hunter kills the babysitter that led him to what he did in the episode. But since he is still guilty of all the rapes he had done in the past several days, he decided to take whatever punishment.

* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: Hunter's behavior is superficially childlike and impulsive but also unusually mature for a rapist his age - Benson notes that teen rapists generally target younger victims and his M.O. is sophisticated.

* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: Hunter deeply resents his mother for not pressing charges against the woman who molested him and getting him counseling (her reason being that she wanted his life to be "normal"). Had she done either of these things, he likely would have turned out differently.
