* "Waning Minute" features a moment that's half CringeComedy and half BlackComedy when a bureaucrat tries to rush Kiera's husband into signing forms agreeing not to sue SadTech for his wife's death. The bureaucrat is horrified when he realises that this is the first the husband has heard of the situation - he doesn't have the training to break that sort of news.
* Season 3, Episode 8 (So Do Our Minutes Hasten): Kiera is able to determine that a Liber8 press release wasn’t written by Sonya because it wasn’t [[PurpleProse pompous]] enough.
