* One of the subplots involves a young newsman, Dave Robinson, who has been obsessed for years with blowing the whistle on Talmage's crooked nature after Talmage forced his father to throw a fight, getting him beaten into a near-vegetative state. He's too driven to do anything else, [[IgnoredEnamoredUnderling apparently including notice the affections of his photographer, Pamela Collins]]. While, at first, he continues his crusade even after Talmage is beyond the reach of human justice, he ultimately lets go, [[VengeanceFeelsEmpty telling Jessica that he realized Talmage was still ruining his life from beyond the grave]]. At the end of the story, he feels significantly better; he has time to admit he returns Pamela's feelings (in fact, Jessica says they're planning to marry), and, just to add the extra cherry on top, [[SweetAndSourGrapes Sean Shaleen's trial will presumably make sure people know about Talmage and the injustices he committed against Robinson's father and other boxers, without the young man having to lose another night's sleep over it.]]

Harry tells the man that he already has it in for him thanks to him killing Nick and punching Harry, but even contemplating hurting Jessica is beyond the pale.
* After their sour start, with Harry calling Sheriff Metzger stupid and Metzger thinking Harry is a crook and possibly a killer, it's nice to see them finally come to an understanding by the end of the episode.

* Dr. Seth Hazlitt, "[[Recap/MurderSheWroteS5E17TheSinsOfCastleCove a cross between a leprechaun and a curmudgeon]]", apparently has a soft spot for kids. When Don tries to deny some children at the carnival the prizes they won (on the grounds that while they knocked over the bottles as it says on the sign, they didn't knock them off the table as he claims it's typically done), Seth gets into an argument with him, insisting that he's not disappointing those kids by taking back what they won.
