10	* BlingBlingBang: Jerome used a gold-plated revolver in his SadisticChoice game with Selina.
11	* ButWeUsedACondom: Bruce and Selina used a condom, plus Selina was on birth control pills. Not that it mattered.
12	* CallBack:
13	** Jerome apparently isn't aware that [[Recap/GothamS1E19BeastsOfPrey Selina killed Reggie]].
14	** Some of the socialites at the wedding Bruce and Selina attend together recognize Selina from the time [[Recap/GothamS1E20UnderTheKnife she and Bruce danced together at the charity ball]].
15	* DoesNotLikeGuns: Selina initially refuses a pistol when she cashes out with Barbara and Tabitha but the latter insists on giving her a gun since close quarters isn't going to be an option as her pregnancy progresses and Bruce has a tendency to attract trouble.
16	* DoubleStandard: Selina accuses Gordon of harboring these when he asks who's the father of her unborn child. As far as Selina's concerned, the only person she'd sleep with is Bruce.
17	* EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench: Bruce starts exclaiming in French while having sex with Selina.
18	* ForeignCussWord: Bruce shouts something in French after Jerome is down. Whatever he shouts isn't mentioned but Alfred is left shaken.

22	* GroinAttack: Selina shoots Jerome in the balls.
23	* InSeriesNickname: Selina calls her unborn child "kitkat" because it's one of the few things she can actually eat.

27	* MorningSickness: Selina opens the story puking before learning she's carrying Bruce's baby.
28	* NeverMessWithGranny: Selina's landlady Coraline Anna-Mae Sanders, or Ms. Coco, is a former Black Panther Party member who doesn't take nonsense from tenants and will fight off robbers with nunchucks.
29	* TheNicknamer: Selina has a tendency to give various characters nicknames, like Alfred being Lurch, Gordon being ComicBook/CaptainAmerica, Bruce being Literature/EncyclopediaBrown, or calling Jerome [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Krusty the Clown]].
30	* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Bruce pummels another young man named Brant for insulting Selina. It isn't really a contest since Brant is drunk and doesn't know how to fight.
31	* ARealManIsAKiller: Or in this case "a bigshot in Gotham is a killer", which is why Jerome tries to have Selina shoot Bruce. Turns out that Selina ''has'' already killed someone: Reggie. Jerome just shrugs and gives her a thumbs up when he gets told that.
32	* SadisticChoice: Jerome gave Selina a gun and a choice: shoot Jerome in the head and be arrested for murder, or shoot Bruce in the head. Selina decides to TakeAThirdOption by shooting Jerome in the "[[GroinAttack head]]".

39	* TeenPregnancy: Selina is 19 when she conceives her child with Bruce who's a year younger than her.
