* ADeadlyAffair: Discussed and double subverted. Danner says that 90% of daytime homicide cases in the posh California neighborhood they patrol are domestic affairs. The most likely suspect is a package thief, but Danner realizes that it was a husband impersonating said package thief to kill his wife...because ''he'' was having an affair with a coworker.

* ADeadlyAffair: Discussed and double subverted. Danner says that 90% of daytime homicide cases in the posh California neighborhood they patrol
* GenreSavvy: Vaughn is suspicious when Danner starts acting questions about anyone who could have held a grudge against his murdered wife. He thinks it means he's a suspect because it happens on the cop show he works on regularly.
* OccamsRazor: Invoked. Culp says that Danner is sympathetic to Aniq, but in truth him committing the murder is the simplest answer. When you hear hooves, think horses, not zebras.
-->'''Danner:''' But if you hear the clomping of hooves in Tanzania, nine times out of ten, it's zebras.\\
'''Culp:''' Oh, my god, your theories are ''so'' convoluted.
* OscarBait: Invoked. Culp describes that one of Germain's previous cases is being turned into a limited series with an AllStarCast as a blatant awards play.
* PunBasedTitle: The TV writer works on a show called ''Marshall Law'' (martial law).

* UnusualPopCultureName: Willow. Danner asks if she was named from [[Film/{{Willow}} the movie]] or the tree.
-->'''Willow:''' The movie. My mom really liked it...
