* DisappearedDad: Piranha was [[SonOfAWhore the son of one of Mama Mabel's prostitutes]], with his biological dad being a married banker who used her services. So he never grew up with his father. In fact, the one time he tried approaching his father as an adult, the guy had him escorted out by security. In a touch of irony, Piranha became a very successful broker whereas his father was bankrupted in the 2008 recession. Piranha then got his revenge when his father came to him looking for money, [[LaserGuidedKarma so he had him escorted out by security]].

* WorstAid: Piranha has a sprained ankle, so Luke makes him... a split? Splints are for broken bones. Sprains need RICE: Rest, Ice, Compression (aka a wrap, not a splint), Elevation. And Luke's splint is a broken 2x4 and a single strip of cloth. Possibly {{justified}} if he was just trying to get Piranha to quit whining and cooperate.

* HollywoodLaw: Misty grabs dinner with the shrink she talked to last season, looking for help with her struggle with the job. He tells her that he doesn't work for the department any more, so anything she tells him is strictly confidential. Problem is they're having dinner in a restaurant. This isn't a private session. The presence of other people means a conversation isn't privileged.
