* MegaMealChallenge: Eliza had aspired to complete a SelfImposedChallenge involving eating at all eighteen stations in her college's food hall, in one sitting. When she's with Honey, she's convinced that ThePowerOfLove will get her through it, in addition to heavy exercise and not eating for 18 hours beforehand so she's hungry enough. Eliza does actually manage to eat it all, but she winds up vomiting it up after.

** By the end of E20, Edits has a fresh start and has begun working with Alice, whom he gets along well with. ASK and Egor have found a reasonable alternative to satisfying Egor's {{bloodlust}}. But Eliza, who's lost her job and her boyfriend, ends up being DrivenToSuicide.



* {{Bloodlust}}: In E20, Egor gets the idea to taste the blood of one of Eliza's victims. He enjoys it, and this leads to him and Eliza getting addicted to it. It hits Egor harder -- he sneaks out of bed in the middle of the night to feast on a corpse, and starts having nightmarish hallucinations when he's deprived of it. "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.

** In E20, when Kyle is worried about a supposed murderer going around the complex and thinks that he'll be targeted, Edits shows him how to use pepper spray. This ends up being the exact thing he uses, just in time, to prevent Mrs. Lilly from being murdered by Eliza.

* HeelRealization: In E20, while Egor ''does'' murder with Eliza, he's not aware of how dark it really is. He merely just sees it as a way to do something fun with someone he likes, and he doesn't know that death is permanent -- he assumes people come back to life after a few days, since he witnessed Kyle be in a coma and come out fine later. Once he learns what he's done, he runs into his room crying, and tries to kill ''himself'' to atone for it. ASK interrupts and tells him that he'll always love his son, no matter what.

* SpreeKiller: In E20, Eliza and Egor gain a {{bloodlust}} and kill no less than ''five'' people just for the fun of it.

At the end, she asks Mrs. Lilly if ''she'' had any relationships before meeting her husband, expecting another exciting and moving story. Mrs. Lilly simply answers that she didn't.

* ShooOutTheClowns: While Eliza has a major role in the first part of E26, she gets less important as the episode goes on. Mainly, it's because of the sudden reveal of Honey's trauma, and Edits' reaction to it. Once Eliza realizes how serious Edits' problem is, she stops making jokes and focuses more on being serious and supportive.


Added DiffLines:

* TemporarilyExaggeratedTrait: Being a homicide detective, Eliza has no problem with handling dark stuff. In "Not Always Romantic", she is ''completely'' desensitized to murder and even somewhat of a NightmareFetishist, happily taking selfies of herself with corpses. This is done to further contrast her with [[NervousWreck Cindy]], and can be explained by it being one of her first appearances.
