* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: A benevolent example; Senior is told by the director of the free clinic that he takes Susan to that they could send her fingerprints to the police to uncover her medical records so she could get more permanent medical help. However, because helping the homeless isn’t a priority for the cops, it can take weeks or months for the clinic to get the information. Senior asks the director to give the fingerprints to him because he knows that Abby will immediately help him without a second thought.

* NeverWinTheLottery: The victim's life went downhill ''fast'' when he won half a million dollars. As he details in his SuicideNote, having that much money brought out the GoldDigger in his wife, and in despair he turned to the lawyer he had consulted when he first won and started sleeping with her; instead of offering him the support he wanted, she turned out to be just as greedy.

* RealityEnsues: During the first bullpen scene, Senior asks Tony if he could volunteer at NCIS, just like how one of his retired friends volunteers at the 20th precinct in New York City by helping sort out files. Tony is quick to point out that it's not the same thing; NCIS is a Federal agency, not a police station, and that there's a lot of top-secret information that requires security clearances no random volunteer would have.
