* AdaptationSpeciesChange: The killer ape in ''"The Murders in the Rue Morgue"'' was an orangutang, while in this episode Camille is killed by a chimpanzee. This was probably done as chimpanzees make more sense as subjects for AnimalTesting and can be far, far more vicious and violent than orangutangs.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: A peek at the inner workings of Camille's extensive [=PR=] machine reveals that she is ''extremely'' good at her job, including a knack for manipulating just about anyone (from low-level lab employees all the way up to Fox News anchors) into doing exactly what she wants. At the same time, she makes no secret of the fact that she's a ManipulativeBastard, she carries on an [[DubiousConsent extremely unethical threesome]] with her assistants, and she does not hesitate to point the full might of her resources and talents at family members she doesn't like--in this case, uncovering exactly what Victorine might be up to in her lab. It gets her killed.


Added DiffLines:

* StealingTheHandicappedSpot: Camille parks her sports car diagonally across two parking spaces when she shows up to the lab--one is a disabled space, the other is reserved for Victorine.
* WomanChild: Camille throws a full screaming tantrum when her assistants inform her that they won't be having sex with her anymore. Once she's calmed down, though, she does seem genuinely hurt that they have "left" her.

** Horrifically deconstructed with the burner phone Perry gave to Morella in the previous episode. When Frederick gets ahold of it, it ''looks'' like Morella cheated on him at Perry's party, even though she ultimately didn't. Frederick, however, takes the phone at face value and [[SanitySlippage more or less goes insane as a result]], and his resentment of his wife quickly devolves into literal torture.
