* BaitAndSwitch: When a familiar car arrives at the motel after Trey and Jimmy find the hit-and-run victim they tried to bury collapsed at their front door, the audience is likely to assume that it's Charlie coming along to stumble across and solve the mystery. Going further into the ep, we see "Morty" - the klepto Charlie meets - wearing similar clothing to the victim. But it turns out ''Charlie'' is the victim; Morty, who found (i.e., stole) her car, is the driver.

* BoomHeadshot: Jimmy joins Chloe, Morty, and everyone else who's been murdered in the show show this way.

* ChaoticStupid: Trey is a hopeless idiot coasting on the entitlement of his parent's money and Jimmy being a HyperCompetentSidekick, whose initially successful murder gets revealed because, while under house arrest, he chose to abuse a break in his ankle monitor’s service to do some drunk driving in snow in the mountains, and resorts to murder and runs his mouth too often to keep Jimmy on his side.
* ChekhovsGun:

** Trey manages to not once but ''twice'' fail to realize that Charlie is still alive before he dumps her in the hole he and Jimmy use to despise of bodies.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: We never find out what happened to Luke, the hunky guy Charlie had a thing with over the summer.

* BoredomMontage: Trey, under house arrest, does the same thing every day -- makes himself a health shake, plays his golf simulator and driving video game, orders takeout and doesn't tip -- and we see him getting more frustrated and bored.

** After regaining consciousness in the motel, Charlie recounts that after she got run over, she had a memory of being in a beach club with her family when she was 8. The same memory being triggered after nearly drinking from Trey's cup makes her realize that she smelled the same substance (coconut rum)[[note]]One of Charlie's relatives is shown to be using a coconut scented sunscreen[[/note]] after being run over, and learning that it's Trey's favorite drink causes her to figure out Trey is the hit-and-runner - and consequently the murderer of Chloe Jones.
