* JerkassToOne: A tragic example; Ginsberg is a relatively friendly bird to TK, Mateo, and Catherine but really only shows hostility towards Owen.

* JerkassRealization / MustMakeAmends: What Owen later comes to understand regarding Gwyn when she left Ginsberg to him in her will; he's ashamed and remorseful for prioritizing the rebuild of his firehouse over her and TK and all but completely disappearing into his trauma, but didn't really apologize for his part in their resulting fights and failed marriage.

* LookBothWays: A driver example. While on a FaceTime call with her husband Javier, a woman named Norah takes her focus off of the road in surprise when he reveals he returned home from his tour early and is waiting for her at their church not far from her location. In those seconds, she swerves too far to avoid crashing into another vehicle and accidentally hits Javier, trapping his leg under her truck.
