* DitchTheBodyguards

to:

* DitchTheBodyguardsDitchTheBodyguards: Christina is tired of being treated like a child (ignoring for the moment that she is still a child) and repeatedly evades Fraser so she can go places she isn't supposed to go.
* KlingonPromotion: A mob boss is killed by one of his lieutenants, who takes his list of sellers and buys. Much of the plot hinges on various parties seeking to get the matchbook the list is printed on, with various unwitting bystanders carrying it around.
* HiddenInPlainSight: A Chicago cop goes undercover at a BDSM nightclub wearing a latex fetish police uniform. [[RuleOfFunny A latex fetish RCMP uniform, to be exact.]]
* HypocriticalHumor: Aforementioned cop in a red latex Mountie fetish outfit refers to Fraser as "Red".
* ICanExplain: Fraser agrees to let Christina go to one nightclub, under his supervision. The club ends up being subject to a police raid, with both Fraser and Christina being arrested.


Added DiffLines:

* MacGuffin: The matchbook. If you pay attention, the kindly old housekeeper at the hotel who picks it up and tosses it in the garbage is named [[LampshadeHanging Mrs. MacGuffin.]]
* MissingMom: Christina's mother passed away several years earlier. Her father admits that despite his best attempts, he's not nearly as good at connecting with his daughter as her mother was.
* NeverMyFault: Inverted. Christina gets upset when Fraser falls on his sword (metaphorically) rather than let her get in trouble for her own actions.
* PapaWolf: After Christina and Fraser are arrested at the nightclub, her father is furious. His anger is dissipated somewhat when Fraser, rather than try to defend his actions or explain that it was Christina's idea, hands him a written statement taking full responsibility for the incident.
* TapOnTheHead: Janice [=DeLuca=] smashes a bottle over Eddie's head, and takes the matchbook without knowing what's in it.
