* JusticeByOtherLegalMeans: Happens in several episodes, where UCOS lacks enough evidence for the central crime. Some methods:
** One unprovable murder is enough to get tabloid rumors started, so a reporter is told about UCOS's findings to reveal without mentioning UCOS. The scandal will presumably damage the killer.
** A murder couldn't be proved after the main witness died. However, UCOS discovered information that would disinherit the murderer.
** Another murder couldn't be proved, but the killer had committed arson to cover evidence, which had resulted in another death, which was provable.
** A kidnapper got their victim to stay using stories with no physical force, so would be almost impossible to charge that way. But the case revealed they were using stolen money for income. When Sandra makes the arrest, the kidnapper goes from calm and collected to an asthma attack, not expecting this development.

* FirefighterArsonist: "Where There's Smoke" sees the team reinvestigating the 1996 Union Club fire that killed four people including its owner. As the owner was a member of a particularly notorious crime family, everyone assumed it to be an assassination attack, but as they later realise after dealing with several other fires, each set off with simple yet precise homemade firebombs that use an incendiary timing device same as what started the Union Club fire, it was in fact a random attack by a serial arsonist. Said serial arsonist is eventually revealed to be none other than [[spoiler: the highly respected retired Metropolitan Fire Brigade fire investigator who investigated the fire]], their interest inspiring him to come out of retirement. The team even discuss a case of several Brazilian firefighters who were caught doing the same during their confrontation.
