* FromBadToWorse: Everything from the moment of the shooting to the start of the grand jury hearing can be summed up with this trope.
** Once the shooting is over, not only are the cops immediately surrounded by the public, the squad is unable to find the gun the Detectives saw, forcing Olivia to send Carisi to check Terrance's room for evidence linking him to the crime.
** Then Terrance dies in the hospital, the victim of the push-in rapist finds him too young to be them, and on top of that, the DNA Test exonerates him, meaning they ended up killing an innocent person.
** Then, the day before the grand jury meeting, despite affirming to Barba that they'll tell him any evidence they find in their parallel investigation, Terrance's family lawyer leaks a video of the shooting to the public, screwing any attempt of neutrality.
* JustBetweenYouAndMe: After IA finishes the deposition with Dumas, they close the camera and suggest that, next time they prep them for the interview, to have them use their own words.
* JustFollowingOrders: Olivia, Captain Reece, and the detectives themselves all defend the shooting with this trope. Barba is having none of it and calls them out on every attempt.
