Tropes:
- The Dead Guy Did It: The head doctor who convinced Anika and Anton to abandon Bettie outside where she froze to death has already died when the Cold Case team figure it out.
- Guilt-Ridden Accomplice: As the head doctor is long dead, Anika and Anton are arrested for carrying out his plan, despite their remorse.
- Karma Houdini: Posthumously for the head doctor of the mental hospital. After he found out Bettie had undergone someone else's lobotomy, he forced Nurse Anika and Anton to ditch her in the snowstorm and leave her for dead to cover up the scandal. By the time the truth is revealed, the head doctor has been dead for years, meaning he'll never suffer punishment for what he did.
- Mood-Swinger: Bettie was manic depressive, but this being the mid-1950s, nobody would know very much about manic depression until later.
- Spanner in the Works: After Bettie's lobotomy under Carmen's name, she was supposed to be sent to a private hospital that Carmen had paid for. However, a snowstorm caused road closures, so Bettie was sent back to the asylum, where the head doctor discovered Anika and Anton's plan.
