* MisBlamed: InUniverse. In "The King Came Calling", Emily Reid calls on a potential sponsor for her shelter for former prostitutes. The sponsor, the wealthy widow of a deceased miller, launches an ugly tirade about her late husband's infidelity, and how she rejoiced every time the Ripper "judged" one of the filthy whores who were obviously the ones to blame for her marital troubles.

* AsLongAsThereIsEvil: At the end of "The King Came Calling", Reid delivers AnAesop speech to his opposite number in the City of London Police:
-->''Word of advice, Ressler. This work we perform, it does not serve to look backward. This city, wickedness will ever leave its spores here. You and I, we are not magicians. We cannot see through walls or into men's minds... We fight. We fight with all the skills we may muster. Beyond that, we may do no more.''

* IJustWantToBeSpecial: In "Your Father, My Friend", Susan confides to her [[TheConsigliere consigliere]], Mr. Capshaw, that in her opinion, nearly all men suffer from this conceit, but she kept him on after "inheriting" him from her rival, Duggan, because she judged that he was one of the very few who did not.
-->''It seemed to me that you were happy as you were, you had no need to make the world stand up and applaud your very existence.''

* PlatonicProstitution: In "What Use Our Work?", Sgt. Drake visits Long Susan’s brothel and, knowing that his UnrequitedLove interest Rose is no longer with the house, surprises Susan by paying for a room with another girl, Bella. Once inside the room, he confides that all he wants to do is hold her in silence for a little while, and maybe fall asleep in her arms. Mindful of his masculine reputation (a common obsession in Victorian times), he asks her not to gossip to the other girls - though he hastens to add that he would never ask her to lie, just to keep silent if asked. Bella has already confided that several of the girls (including herself) think he is a fine man, but this is likely the moment when she falls for him completely.
* ThePowerOfHate: Jedediah Shine's doctor tells him he has an inoperable tumor in his brain; when Shine asks if anything can be done, the doctor says not only is Shine terminal, but the doctor considers it a miracle that he's lasted this long. Shine laughs to himself, and says that as long as Edmund Reid is still alive and free, Shine has a reason to keep living. However, this is inverted at the conclusion of the episode, when Shine "wins" by beating Reid in a brutal fistfight before turning him over for arrest. Shine bitterly reflects on the irony that hate has kept him going, but consumed him so thoroughly that he's [[VengeanceFeelsEmpty incapable of taking any joy in his victory]], and he might as well be already dead.
