* VillainousBreakdown: After Dr. Beck just happens to show up at a coffee house (that [[BlandNameProduct most certainly isn't supposed to be Starbucks]]) where Sophie and her friend Kaitlyn are hanging out, and invites Sophie (and only Sophie) to go to a movie with him, Sophie says no. Beck goes to a nearby alley and completely loses it: throwing around garbage, bashing his arm against a dumpster, denouncing Sophie as a "little bitch", and repeatedly reminding himself "I AM A '''DOCTOR'''!"

* SpiritualSuccessor: The twin 2021 Lifetime movies ''Deceived by My Mother-In-Law'' and ''Mommy's Deadly Con Artist'' seem like an attempt to start a new franchise with a DistaffCounterpart to Dr. Beck, a wily sixtysomething BitchInSheepsClothing ConArtist played by Dey Young (best-known as Kate Rambeau in ''Film/RockAndRollHighSchool''). This was emphasized when Creator/EricRoberts showed up, ''as a doctor'', in ''Mommy's Deadly Con Artist''.

* ShownTheirWork: Uncle Roger realizes Beck isn't on the level based on a rather arcane bit of knowledge--the fact that Beck claims to have lived in [[UsefulNotes/{{Utah}} Salt Lake City]], but has no familiarity with the city's unique numbered grid system for street naming. Not only does Roger correctly describe how the grid works, but 800 South and 300 East is in fact an intersection in a residential part of the city (and there's a big apartment apartment complex at that corner).

* ''Stalked by My Doctor: A Sleepwalker's Nightmare'' (2019): Now a fugitive, Dr. Beck steals the identity of Dr. Mason Tanner and goes to work at a sleep clinic. His first patient is Michelle Miller, who suffers from "sexsomnia", a genuine condition in which sufferers sleepwalk in pursuit of carnal pleasure. He soon learns that her young niece Katie has come to live with her. She has a sleepwalking condition too, but in her case, she becomes highly suggestible when she sleepwalks, a condition that Dr. Beck has numerous ideas to exploit. Besides being a ''Stalked by My Doctor'' installment, this movie is also technically a sequel to ''Film/SleepwalkingInSuburbia'', a 2017 LifetimeMovieOfTheWeek about sexsomnia, with Emilie Ullerup reprising her role as Michelle.

Dr. Beck gives her a life-saving heart transplant, surgery, but becomes smitten with her. After misinterpreting some innocent comments and gestures by Sophie as declarations of love, he pursues her, becoming more unhinged as he goes.



** Earlier, Sophie chloroforms and ties up Beck in preparation of torturing him (see FreudianThreat below), similar to how Beck kidnapped her using the same method and threatened to use his surgical knowledge against her when Sophie rejected him. She notably uses the chloroform despite Beck having already been more or less incapacitated from getting hit over the head, suggesting she only used it for payback.

** Michelle's account of her past sexsomnia experiences is a plot synopsis of ''Sleepwalking in Suburbia'', to help viewers who haven't already seen that movie.[[note]]Though her memory is a bit off, since her neighbor Luke wasn't repeatedly "taking advantage" of her. They had sex once during a sleepwalking episode, and he wasn't aware she was sleepwalking. As his own marriage fell apart, he started pursuing Michelle, who couldn't remember the episode, and flatly rejected him, but he's ultimately the movie's SacrificialLion rather than its villain. Michelle also conveniently left out the movie's most notorious scene: she sleepwalks to the house of her friend Kate, gets in bed with her, and ''[[GirlOnGirlIsHot both women make out with each other]] in their sleep'' until they wake up horrified[[/note]]
