| 11 | !Tropes for the series include: |
| 12 | * BittersweetEnding: |
| 13 | ** Bad: Nick loses his job at Fallin & Fallin. His friendship with Jake is over. Burton retires, thinking that Nick doesn't have what it takes to a corporate lawyer. Lulu prematurely gives birth to her and Nick's daughter, who has been diagnosed with Down syndrome. Nick realizes that Lulu will never love him the same way again. Alvin quits LSP due to ALS. Talik's final appeal is denied. |
| 14 | ** Good: Nick's probation is over, and he appears to be determined to stay clean this time. Nick takes over Lulu's job as head of LSP, seemingly content with his choice. Despite their situation, Nick is happy to be a father, and his relationship with Lulu is cordial (if no longer romantic). Alvin is determined to spend his final days living life to the fullest. |
| 15 | * BolivianArmyEnding: [[spoiler:James is shot by a client and left to die]]. The resolution is a nasty fakeout: [[spoiler:Nick sees the client leave and realizes something's up but he is too late to help James]]. |
| 16 | * NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: Not one single person who ever appeared on this show actually sounded like they're from Pittsburgh. |
