* HappyEndingOverride: Although the ending of Season 1 was more [[BittersweetEnding bittersweet]] than happy (Natalie is dead, Baptiste wasn't able to save her sister from a FateWorseThanDeath in sex trafficking, but Baptiste, Edward, and their families are all safe and the Romanian hitman is out of commission). However, Season 2 quickly undoes the "happy for Baptiste" part of that: Baptiste's daughter Sara relapses on drugs after the events of Season 1 and dies of a drug overdose, leaving her daughter orphaned and Baptiste and Celia separated and devastated.
