* ArmorPiercingQuestion: In E26, when Kyle brings up Edits' gun, Honey is horrified. Edits justifies it by saying that he's allowed to keep one on the job. Honey's response: "So if it's just for your job, why do you need one at home?" Edits struggles to think of a response until he admits that he has a planned suicide, leading Honey to [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech call him out.]]
* BadLiar: In a desperate attempt to get out of a meeting with Honey, Eliza says she has to mail Kyle a birthday present. Edits points out that Kyle's birthday is five months away.
* TheEndingChangesEverything: Throughout E26, Honey's behavior -- complaining to Edits about her mortician job, her [[DeathGlare response]] to Eliza almost asking if she has a girlfriend, her [[TheAlcoholic wine-drinking habits]] -- seem to just be an extension of her usual gloomy personality. Her resulting friendship with Edits is just her HiddenHeartOfGold coming out since she doesn't get many chances to make friends. But near the end, Tess explains that Honey had witnessed her girlfriend ''commit suicide'' out of absolute nowhere, scarring her. Tess had been guiding Honey to help her take control of her life again and move past this incident. Honey hates her job because the industry is predatory to grieving families, and she drinks wine to cope with the stress. When Edits hears about this, he is [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone very remorseful]] for slipping up and triggering her TraumaButton.
* TheMissusAndTheEx: In E26, Eliza invites Edits to meet her ex, Honey. Interestingly enough, Edits and Honey get along just fine. Eliza has the hardest time; she gets cold feet and tries to back out, and she can't think of anything to say that doesn't make it more awkward. She has to excuse herself from the table after just a few minutes. When she wants to wrap everything up, she tries to pick up the check, but can't afford it and has to ask Edits to do it instead. The entire experience leaves Eliza so mortified of what Honey probably thinks of her that she starts actively avoiding her.

* EpisodeTagline: "No One Has to Die" and its sequel have the titular phrase repeated throughout. Albert says it while reassuring Kyle that they'll all make it through the snowstorm. When Kyle [[WeaponForIntimidation is forced to threaten Albert with an unloaded gun to get Edits back]], he says it's because ''no one has to die'', and that should include Edits.

* CharacterShilling: Parodied in E24. Eliza repeatedly talks about how cute and amazing Honey is, and that she's "literally the best person [Eliza's] ever met." While Honey isn't a ''bad '' person, she's an overweight, gloomy college student who's unapproachable and doesn't care about making friends.

* HiddenFirstActParallel: In E24, Eliza meets Honey over reading ''Literature/SenseAndSensibility''. She compares that of the two characters in the book, one is more unrestrained and impulsive, while the other is stoic and more under control. This exactly sums up the dynamic Eliza and Honey have throughout the episode.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In E24, Eliza laughs at Honey's EmbarrassingFirstName. She doesn't think much about it, but it's a TraumaButton for Honey since she's been bullied about it before. Eliza wants to walk Honey home, but she coldly turns her down. This makes Eliza realize just how hurtful her actions were, and she gives Honey a HeartfeltApology the next day.

* EpicFail: Edits and Eliza's bedroom play in E21. Eliza tries to "dominate" Edits in the bedroom, according to a book she has. She commands him to take his clothes off, but once he starts doing it, she immediately worries that he's cold and tells him to put them back on, even giving him a blanket for warmth. Next, they take turns practicing "sadism", which fails because neither of them can stand to hurt each other.
* FlawExploitation: In E21, Edits and Eliza have to write an email to the Butt Buddies to explain why they should be on the show. Knowing how exploitative and pervy the host is, Eliza lies that their relationship is in danger of collapsing and they are willing to share spicy details about it. This indeed gets them on.
* HateSink: Stephen in "Butt Buddies". He runs what appears to be a dating advice channel, but he spends most of his time being very cruel to his guests and actively trying to break them up. Not helping is that he's also kind of perverted, regularly cracking sex jokes and only wanting Edits and Eliza on because they promise to "spare no details" about their relationship. Towards the end, it's revealed that he doesn't even like doing the show and just carries on with it for money. Once Edits and Eliza bring his misdeeds into the public eye, his partner Evelyn has a claim filed against him.
* HiMom: When Eliza is on a live Butt Buddies interview, she ends her spiel towards a camera with a wave and "And if you’re watching, Kyle, hiiii!" Making this funnier is that Kyle is aro-ace, so there's no chance he would even be watching it.

He's outright horrified by Lydia in "Eliza's Incredible Sisterly Love!", he gets momentarily offended by an outburst Eliza makes in E19, and he's genuinely uncomfortable with reminding Eliza of her RepressedMemories in E25.
* OfficeRomance: Edits and Eliza are co-workers who are dating. Their boss approves of their relationship because it improves their performance. One line that Edits and Eliza won't cross is sex; they think it'd make it awkward, and they feel like their relationship is complete without it.
* {{Sequelitis}}: In-universe. Mrs. Lilly and Lance only like the original episodes of ''Butt Buddies'', when it was Emmett and Evelyn hosting. She hates the Stephen episodes because he's incredibly mean and not really helpful.

Egor overhears and innocently suggests that they build a pillow fort. However, Eliza actually becomes ''more'' interested in this idea than anything about sex, and indeed, they do make one at the end of the episode.

It's not explicitly stated, but it's likely that she just prefers the traditional "Grace" over the more unusual "Latimore". Eliza's excited when she finds out that Mrs. Lilly has gotten married and ''still'' has her last name. We don't know what her husband's old name was, but Eliza thinks the resulting name of "Lance Lilly" is awesome.

Similarly, Eliza pushes herself in athletics and accomplishes something she'd always wanted to do (eating at every station in the food hall), but these are more brought on by her heightened sense of self-confidence and desire to impress her.

** At the end of E23, Kyle tries to reassure Edits that even if Edits' gun got taken away, at least they're back together. Kyle's actions led to Edits' gun being taken in the first place, and Edits spent much of the episode refusing to visit him. This pushes Edits to collapsing into bed and crying.

When Eliza takes her around town, she starts bleeding out and vomiting up organs. Edits suggests that Lydia was better off staying dead.

In the end, after Eliza and Lydia come to a mutual agreement, Lydia [[DrivenToSuicide kills herself again by wandering into traffic]].

** Death, and how to process it, are a major theme of the show. Edits and Eliza are both homicide detectives. Kyle's near-death experiences and inability to come to terms with dying are often brought up when he appears. Eliza has a long-dead sister and used to date someone who ended up being a mortician.
** Romance is another central theme: how it changes people for the better, and the different kinds of it that exist. For example, E19 focuses on pure, romantic love, E21 explores the role sex should play in relationships, and E24 shows a more shallow and one-sided relationship.

"SUPER NORMAL" brings back Eliza's bloodlust in full comedic force, making her drinking blood a RunningGag that's treated with none of the seriousness it was previously.

* TastesLikeFriendship: Subverted. In E20, Mrs. Lilly suggests that Eliza invite [[{{Jerkass}} Icelynn]] over for dinner so they can be friends. However, Icelynn's [[UngratefulBastard ungratefulness]] and rudeness throughout the meal eventually drives Eliza to murder her.
