* ImAHumanitarian: Susan keeps herself young and beautiful by drinking protein shakes made of ground-up human livers. She offers one of the shakes to Grissom at the end of the episode. Grissom called her out on how untreated porphyria also causes psychological disorders, implying that she only ''thought'' it was her diet that kept her beautiful.
* MadDoctor: Susan Hillridge is a mad ''nutritionist''. She has a bad case of porphyria and thinks that the best way to stave off its symptoms is to [[ImAHumanitarian feast on the most blood-rich organs of healthy men]].

* OrganTheft: Organ-legging is mentioned, as the murdered jogger has had his liver and a couple other organs removed. At the end of the episode, it turns out that the killer took the most blood-rich organs to make into a health elixir, convinced that it's the only thing preventing her from becoming sick.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Susan is a nutritionist with [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porphyria porphyria]] who liquifies human organs and drinks them to get the enzymes she needs. Interestingly, porphyria is often cited as a possible influence for the creation of vampire myths, as the symptoms of some forms of it can mimic vampire traits; extreme pallor and sensitivity to light, receding gums which make the teeth appear longer, mental disturbances such as paranoia and hallucinations, etc. However, since vamps being harmed by sunlight is a recent invention, this speculation is questioned just as often.
* PickyPeopleEater: Susan has her attack dogs kill people, then converts the most blood-rich of their internal organs into a milkshake-like slurry. She suffers from porphyria, a metabolic disorder that caused insanity in her case, and is convinced that consuming such organs is the only way for her to self-medicate.
