* AllForNothing: [[spoiler: Shaw actually manages to escape hell despite everything that happened to her partner and everyone else that went into that warehouse and winds up in a roadside diner. But then she hears on TV about a race riot erupting from a Black Lives Matter protest over the police shooting of a black suspect, and a white man in the diner openly talks about "stringing up" black people in their own streets. No one in the diner, including the man's own family, reacts to his utterance in any way except for a young woman who casts a disgusted look in the man's direction as she turns to leave. This, followed by her hearing on TV about a governor seeking re-election making bigoted comments towards gay and transgendered people, shows Shaw that open bigotry is becoming something acceptable to do. In response, Shaw sets off to assassinate the governor in some kind of attempt to fight against the growing evil engulfing humanity. She's gunned down in the attempt and ends up right back in hell for good.]]

* WouldntHitAGirl: In a flashback Agent Addison gets in a fist-fight with Agent Shaw and acts shocked and remorseful at punching a woman when he knocks her down with a hook. Rather than seeming sincere this act makes him look even more condescending and bigoted.
