Tropes:

  • A Day in the Limelight: Chris Park is focused on throughout the episode. His experience as a social media influencer is not only referred to repeatedly, it is crucial to solving the case at hand.
  • Bittersweet Ending: Although Chris is able to bring Vincent to justice for the murder of Nate Taylor, he is unable to do the same to Warren Bart for the murder of Ana Reynolds due to double jeopardy. Chris ends the episode by posting a final social media message to his followers in which he reviews his experiences and urges them to not allow Warren to benefit from the deaths of Ana and Nate before signing off and deleting his social media account.
    Chris: "I need to set the record straight. I was wrong about the Ana Reynolds case. My theory that Warren Bart didn't kill Ana with an axe missed the point. [Displays the drone used in the murder] This was the murder weapon. By now you've all heard we found one just like it in Warren's house. I don't get to say that Warren Bart is a murderer. But I can say that he shouldn't benefit from the deaths of Ana Reynolds and Nate Taylor. So don't like. Don't subscribe. Unfollow Warren. Don't give people like that any more eyeballs. Me? I'm signing off. For good."
  • Karma Houdini: Despite Chris discovering evidence that Warren Bart is the actual killer of Ana Reynolds, Warren could not be charged and arrested for Ana's murder due to double jeopardy. Granted, Chris's final live at the end where he reveals that Warren is indeed a murderer to the public may do hefty damage to his influencing career, which seems to be the only thing he cares about.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: Chris has this when he realized he inadvertently helped Warren Bart walk away a free man for killing Ana Reynolds.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Even as he is being arrested for the murder of Nate Taylor, Vincent points out that Chris still played a role in helping Warren Bart walk away a free man for killing Ana Reynolds, something which haunts Chris throughout the episode.
  • Small Name, Big Ego: Pretty much all of the influencers, but Vincent stands out as he yells at Chris costing him "20 percent of my followers" even as it's pointed out that, at his height, Vincent had 8000 followers. He also complains Chris "stole my job" at the lab, brushing off he failed his own test for it twice.
  • Social Media Is Bad: With the exception of Chris, almost all of the social media influencers are portrayed as attention-grabbing, self-promoting narcissists.
  • Team Mom: Max cautions Chris on being mindful of his online presence and to take precautions in protecting himself.
