* IdiotBall: When Tiffany asked her to get a personal item from the sniper (i.e. hair, clothes) she only tried doing so during the sniper's regularly scheduled work schedule in his workplace. It never came across her mind to maybe go to the sniper's house and get it until Tiffany told her about this. And when she finally does follow the sniper to his home she does it in broad daylight instead of waiting for him to fall asleep first. [[spoiler:Then as she follows the sniper home, she gets run over by an incoming car and dies]].

The brainwashed guards makes Tiffany's cell lavish and well-decorated, polish her nails, bring her favorite foods and a wardrobe for her but still fail to get the sniper infected as well.
