* ForWantOfANail: Discussed, in that Will Porter claims that he never would've gotten involved in the bank robbery if he just had three more dollars in his bank account, allowing him to buy his son a Christmas gift without the cashier denying his card and preventing him from having the realization that drove his actual actions.

to:
* ChristmasEpisodeChristmasEpisode: The episode is set around the holiday, with Santa Claus costumes playing a major role.
* ParentsAsPeople: Will Porter's motivation for getting involved in the robbery is that his minimum-wage job prevents him from buying his son a Christmas present, and the realization that if anything happened to him, he has nothing of worth to leave behind. Benton Fraser manages to talk him down from his TakingYouWithMe gambit by stating he still has one thing of value left to give his son: a good example to follow.
