** To date, Rochelle had to witness [[spoiler: Chris getting his armed ripped off by a Witch when he saved her and Coach's lives. And then she had to hear his cries of agony as his arm was cauterized.]] And Ellis had his optimism in humanity challenged many times, starting with the ruthless female robber to [[spoiler: getting almost tortured then slaughtered by Jerry. Then he had to watch Jerry die.]]

* ShipperOnDeck: Rochelle serves as this to Nick/Ellis.
* ShipTease: A whole bunch of it with Rochelle and Chris.
* ShootTheFuelTank: Twice. Both instigated by Ellis.

* TheSociopath: A pretty good case could be argued that [[spoiler: the Angels are this, excluding [[TokenGoodTeammate Chris]].]]
* SoftGlass: Averted. Ellis manages to kill a Charger this way.
* TeamDad: Coach. Ellis and Rochelle certainly view him as a [[ParentalSubstitute father figure.]]
