* AdultFear:
** Having your child kidnapped, by your ''elder'' child no less. Also said elder child becoming so addicted to drugs that he willingly turned to the life of crime.
** The final straw that caused Daniel's mother to disown him was when he left his drugs where his much younger sister could get them, and she walked in and found them in her mouth.
** There's also the fear about your youngest child being severely ill with you only knowing after she was kidnapped which puts the fear of her mortality into play.

* JustAFleshWound: Warner shoots Daniel Hunter in the leg, intending to cause nonfatal damage. In reality, a bullet to the leg has a very substantial chance of causing a life-threatening injury thanks to the numerous arteries running through the leg. Her training as a medical examiner is no excuse; knowing where the arteries are located neither grants a person impeccable marksmanship nor does it change the fact that a fragmenting round's shrapnel is inherently unpredictable. What ''is'' an excuse is that Daniel was about to commit suicide by cop, and a gunshot wound that ''might'' kill him was undoubtedly less fatal than a volley of bullets that would turn him into swiss cheese.
