Tropes:

  • The Beard: Sarah and her husband serve as this for each other. Although not romantically involved, they were friends.
  • Butterfly of Death and Rebirth: Murdoch confesses to a lifelong fear... or uneasiness, rather... with butterflies. The episode’s final scene reveals that Murdoch associates them with his mother’s death. While he’s the picture of mixed feelings during the scene, he does cooperate with Julia instead of shutting her down, and the release of the butterflies in the final shot is a strong indication that Murdoch is at last facing his feelings and moving past the trauma instead of ignoring it.
  • Cure Your Gays: What Pauline hopes for, until she learns what her husband did.
  • Friend to Bugs: George reveals a fondness for spiders. He befriends what is supposed to be a test subject, naming it Webster.
  • Murder the Hypotenuse: The killer is Pauline's husband, Jarius. He frightened Sarah into jumping out her window when he learned his wife was having an affair with her.
