* NeverMyFault: Subverted. Powell is aware of her wrongdoings during her time at the hospital and never blames anyone, except that she doesn't apologize [[IDidWhatIHadToDo and thinks they were the right call to make, even if they weren't]].

* NeverMyFault: Subverted. Powell is aware of her wrongdoings during her time at the hospital and never blames anyone, except that she doesn't apologize [[IDidWhatIHadToDo and thinks they were the right call to make, even if they weren't]]. She was even willing to take full responsibility for the unauthorized surgery on her friend Vince, when she begged Lim not to punish Asher because of her. Powell also apologized to Asher when he bitterly informed her he got a two-month probation.

* TheUnapologetic: Powell's pattern of disobedience consists of a) refusing to participate in a xenotransplant, b) removing the restraints from a mentally-unstable teenager patient who escapes and c) doing an unauthorized surgery on her Navy friend, Vince, who is on parole, even dragging Asher and Lim along. However, she never apologizes nor does she take any accountability for her actions, when Shaun, Park and Lim herself call her out on them.

Even after her and Shaun parted on good terms at the end of "Hot and Bothered", Powell didn't apologize to Shaun either for robbing him of his chance to at least repair his friendship with Lim.

* NoSympathy: Powell discourages Lim from doing the surgery that could cure her paralysis, but at the same time shows ZERO concern over how it might hurt Shaun, who thought this was the only way he and Lim could be friends again.

* NeverMyFault: Geez...just everytime Shaun or anyone tries to tell Charlie that that is not the right behavior she's supposed to have at a workplace, she clearly refuses to admit she did anything wrong. She even had the gall to pull the victim card on Shaun by accusing him of interrupting her, when she was the one actually interrupting ''him'' and he was simply reacting like any other attending surgeon would, also misinterpreting a suggestion for something that is not by having a nurse give incorrect medication to a frat college student patient. It's like Charlie does nothing but expect to be given special treatment just because of her condition and everyone catering to every one of her whims.

Added DiffLines:

* SayingTooMuch: Charlie's MotorMouth causes discourse between a father and daughter in "Skin in the Game". When Charlie catches the daughter in her car doing a striptease over a video call for someone she addresses as "Daddy" (not her father), the latter confesses that she makes thousands as a sex worker, but her father doesn't know. Charlie and Jared (who also witnessed it) assure her that they won't tell her father. When they inform both parties that the father will need lifetime home care, the daughter mentions that she can convert her office, to which Charlie responds, "As long as you have privacy elsewhere for your ''[[LampshadedDoubleEntendre work]]''." The father gets suspicious after hearing the odd emphasis she put on the word "work" and everyone else tries to brush it off. When the daughter says, "Love you, Daddy", Charlie comments, "So many daddies, so little time", and the truth ends up coming out.
