* IHaveToGoIronMyDog: One episode had Beckett trying out a casual relationship with a reporter. She would get texts about urgent information forcing her off camera for a bit, only to come back a few minutes later with a line about how it got resolved. Happened twice in the episode.



* LocalHangout: They always seem to go to that one restaurant, no matter the occasion. Subverted in that the employees don't have a "spot".

* CloudCuckooLander: Gary.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Beckett and Nelson. There is the slight hiccup that Nelson is gay, but he has absolutely no sexual interest in Beckett, nor has there ever been.



* ParentalNeglect: Dave when Stephanie was a kid. He's trying to make up for it now.
