* RealityEnsues: Even if you're a badass superhero, ignoring medical advice, especially after surgical removal of a major organ, is a really bad idea. Jessica drinking a lot of whiskey and not properly hydrating herself post-surgery takes a severe physical toll on her.

* {{Polyamory}}: Hogarth thought she was successfully stealing Kith from her husband, but it turns out that they have an open marriage, meaning that she'll always come second.
