This work contain tropes of:
- Because You Were Nice to Me: The reason why this whole series ended. After Boom was severely injured in the fight of the hotel Paul begs Erika to call the police and an ambulance to safe his life. She reminds him that that would get them arrested but he insists anyways because throughout his life he never had anyone to lean on, so it doesn't matter if this gets him arrested as long as he's okay. Erika complies and calls the police before the final confrontation with Eric.
- Disproportionate retribution: The first time Erika gets to see how dangerous Paul can be is when a couple of jerks insult him after he remained stopped at a stoplight when it turned green, in a state of fear he followed them until they arrived to a secluded place and beheaded them off to a better life. The reason why he did so?, one of the insults was "better keep your eyes on the road, before I ripped them off", and he believed it was better to murder them because they would rip his eyes off.
- Wham Shot: Erika decides to pay a second visit to her husband ex collegue, only to be greeted by his corpse laying on the floor as Boom and Paul provided their cleaning services to him, before they offered it to her.
