Added DiffLines:

* FelonyMisdemeanor: Invoked regarding Nicole's arrest; she apparently assaulted a police officer, but what she ''really'' did was [[spoiler:graze a police horse (without causing it serious injury) while trying to find a parking space; it's just unfortunate for her that the horse counts as a police ''officer'' rather than just a means of transport]].


Added DiffLines:

* RedHerring: Nicole uncovers evidence incriminating [[spoiler:Bobby, Milo's best friend and the man who walked Nicole down the aisle at their wedding, as part of the conspiracy; it turns out he was just forced to take part]].


Added DiffLines:

* SpottingTheThread: Nicole initially becomes suspicious of the apparent "suicide" because the dead man would have allegedly jumped through trees and hit the ground head-first; if he was serious about killing himself the trees might have broken his fall (or at least slowed it to a non-fatal speed) when he would have gone straight to the pavement if he jumped off the other side, and anyone jumping off a building would hit the ground ''feet'' first.
