* In ''Phased and Confused'', Fargo gives Carter a prototype communication device to test. For starters, it burrows into the skin after Carter puts it behind his ear as instructed, to access his synapses and call whoever he thinks about calling, and transmitting their side of the conversation directly into his brain (which Carter describes as creepy when he tests it by calling Fargo). Then Carter tries to call Zoe, and gets an electric shock. Fargo informs him there are some kinks, and he should avoid names that begin with Z. Or A. Or anything with umlaut.
* The ending to ''Here Come the Suns'', when it's revealed that the winner of the mayoral election is none other than [[spoiler: Henry]].
