** When the drinks Jason, Tommy and Fred are given to help them acclimate to the transport onto the ''Protector'' kick in, thanks in part to a failed Fright Check from Paulo, Jason [[WrongGenreSavvy comes to the conclusion]] that the three of them have in reality been drugged by a group of [[LoonyFan mentally unwell fans]].
** Even though she doesn't like him, Gwen can't help but be concerned when several weeks pass, and no one has heard ''anything'' from Jason, Fred or Tommy, and outright says that someone needs to contact the authorities. Meanwhile, the reason why ''she'' hasn't is because she feels that, after being dismissed for so often, no one would believe her if she called the cops.
** Upon realizing [[GreenEyedMonster that he's jealous over Gwen outshining him, despite him being the more experienced actor]], Sir Alexander Dane asks Arthur for help in finding a therapist so he can work through these issues.
