* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: The final episode has an ongoing arc in which Andy is given a substitute carer in Lou's absence. Being far less of a pushover than Lou, Andy spends the entire episode under her mercy and being "taught" to fend for himself (along with suffering several painful bumps to the leg when the carer gets too inqusitive about how numb it is). Granted the karma only makes Andy double his efforts and ''murder'' her at the end of it.
