* MobWar: There is one going on between Pinkie's mob and Colleoni's - although it's a very one-sided "war", and even Pinkie seems to eventually accept that defeat is inevitable.

* ParalyzingFearOfSexuality: Pinkie is repulsed by sex as a result of repeatedly witnessing the PrimalScene (it doesn't help that he lives in a milieu packed to the gills with sexuality of the grubbiest, seediest kind). He's capable of feeling sexual arousal, [[spoiler:and even of consummating his marriage]], but the only passion he's actually comfortable with is a kind of desexualized [[{{Sadist}} sadism]].

She does all this in the [[spoiler:deeply mistaken]] belief that, on some level, he loves her.

** Played straight later, when [[spoiler:Pinkie]] pushes [[spoiler:Spicer]] off the stairs and fixes it to look like it was caused by a broken railing.



* SpousalPrivilege: A major plot point: Pinkie convinces Rose to marry him so she can't report her circumstantial knowledge of his involvement in a murder.
