* MindScrew: Considering that the vast majority of the episode is shown through David's POV, who spends almost all of it deliberately drugged out of his mind by Nurse Bloch on heavy-duty painkillers, it is very much a weird one, even by the usual standards of the show.



* SickbedSlaying: Nurse Bloch's modus operandi, killing patients that, due to their injuries or underlying conditions, would likely just have their deaths written off as tragic results of such; and if Harlan's terrified ramblings towards David at the start of the episode are of any accuracy (which judging by his subsequent death, probably are), she deliberately targets black patients, [[TruthInTelevision knowing full well that due to the ingrained racism within most forms of medical care that she's even less likely to have their deaths questioned.]]

* VorpalPillow: If poor David's drugged recollection of Harlan's death is accurate (at the very least, it is confirmed as having legitimately occurred by the shot of Bloch's collection of wristbands at the end of the episode), then this is how Bloch killed him: by smothering him with a pillow in the middle of the night with no one around to notice.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Despite his status as a frequent calm and collected voice of reason on the show, Dr. Boggs' reaction when Kristen brings him to the hospital to intervene after having been tipped off that something was wrong by David's efforts to call her is nothing less than barely-constrained rage, forcing Bloch out of the room under the threat of having her license revoked and giving the doctor on staff that comes in to stop them a verbal beatdown; utterly ''pissed'' that such a horrific amount of deliberate negligence has occurred without anyone even noticing to stop it.
