* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Apparently, ''no one'' in this episode, from police to even his ex-wife and mother of his son, can understand why Pete would want to turn his life around when they all have written him off as a troublemaker and a loser.
* HateSink: Officer Daniel O'Leary. He's a DirtyCop who loves nothing more than to push Pete around, believing him to be nothing but a lowlife ex-con and an alcoholic. He is such a bastard, that he has no qualms against giving Pete a hard time while working as a janitor at a restaurant by intentionally making a mess just to clean it less he wants to be fired or embarrassing him in front of his son. When setting him up to get sent back to prison fails, he ends up killing him instead, believing that no one would care to try and solve a "worthless" criminal's murder.
* ShedTheFamilyName: Pete's son, Petey, took his stepfather's name after his mother's remarriage and his own death.
* ThenLetMeBeEvil: Ultimately subverted by Pete; whilst it looks like since virtually everyone think of him as nothing but a lowlife ex-con who will just wind up in prison on a new charge (this time for drug dealing), he stops himself at the last minute, citing his strong desire to be a better example for his teenage son.
