* AudienceAlienatingEra[[invoked]]: Hosea is suffering from this in-universe. A social media influencer, he was popular when he was a sixteen year-old living on his own, but is less so as a man in his early 20s living on his own. He had hoped that showing a scene of utter carnage in his den would boost his flagging profile, hence his horror when he finds that Wicky's cleaned it up.



* TheresNoKillLikeOverkill: Although accidental, the death in this episode resulted in several major blood vessels being severed and blood spurting out all over Hosea's den as a result.

Added DiffLines:

Wicky finds himself reliving his youth when called to clean the den of online influencer Hosea and discovers it's a shrine to the 1980s, before realising said influencer is desperately lacking a father figure (after his parents moved abroad without him when he was 16) and gets enlisted to recreate the crime scene to boost Hosea's flagging profile.
