* NeverMyFault: [[spoiler:Lt Gordon]]'s vendetta against Taylor that started over the fact that she wouldn't sleep with him ultimately gets him court-martialed, and only gets off with a other-than-honorable discharge rather than jail time because some of his crimes were done while Mastered (which only happened because he ignored Taylor's protocols on how to avoid, detect and/or resist Mastering). He still think's everything is Taylor's fault.

--> Part 2-1: [[spoiler: ''Oh shit. My mom's in a lesbian relationship with my room-mate. What the fuck do I do now?'']].

** Kinsey [[spoiler:has been using self-hypnosis to condition himself to kill anyone who tries to make him hurt Taylor. When he falls under Valefor's power, Mama Mathers announces her intent to have him do just that -- without realising that there was any need to specifically tell Kinsey not to kill herself.]]

* AngerBornOfWorry: Andrea yells at Taylor because of this.
--> '''Andrea:''' You listen to me, Taylor Snow. You getting hurt even ''once'' is once too often. The Brotherhood of the Fallen damn near ''killed'' you, and that monster in Seattle ''would'' have if Kinsey hadn't been there. And that's not even counting that damn Mathers woman in Chicago, the idiots in that gas station, that thing with Marquis, and …
It's notable that Kinsey [[spoiler:stands by calmly during the whole diatribe]], and even [[spoiler:takes Andrea's side]] later in the conversation. Of course, [[DramaticIrony not fifteen minutes later]], [[spoiler:Taylor gets alerted to another problem she has to go deal with]].
--> '''Taylor:''' Shit. Andrea's gonna kill me, isn't she?\\
