* TheBoxingEpisode: "Mama Said Knock You Out", where Torres investigates the overdose death of a boxer. It culminates in him almost dying of a hot dose himself by the doer if not for some ''very'' quick actions of Williams.



* DepravedHomosexual: The killer from "Blondes Have More Fun". He kills the episode's main victim, a beloved drag queen, and then ends up killing two more drags queens, a one-time suspect, a [[spoiler: [[ArmouredClosetGay supposed]]]] virulently homophobic shop owner and kidnaps and tries to kill a gay investigate reporter, but not before attempting to frame him for the crime all because of his own sense of jealousy and desire for fame and attention.

** One episode had a decorated police officer kill his niece's drug dealing boyfriend to protect her from the life, but he had killed the wrong man. Just as Williams and Torres, the latter who was reluctant to believe that he was involved initially, were to bring him in, he requested to use the bathroom and subsequently shoots himself.
** Another episode had a convicted child molester, who had just been released from prison, suspected in molesting another young girl. After being harassed by neighbors and his mother accidentally being killed in a drive-by shooting meant to kill him, he admits to his crime and in accepting that [[DespairEventHorizon his beloved mother is dead because of him and that he will never be able to stop his ways,]] he jumps to his death.
