* ItsAllMyFault: At the end of the episode where a man takes shots at a few of the nurses outside of the hospital, [[spoiler: hitting April in the process]], Monique Lawson has a guilt-ridden breakdown, apologizing to [[spoiler: April]] and blaming herself for it all. Why? Because the man was an internet-fueled StrawMisogynist who shot at them solely because Monique declined a date, and she thinks that if she had just accepted one date with him, it wouldn't have happened. Thankfully, April and Maggie calm her down.

** A notable aversion was Danny, a male sex slave who Sarah Reese tried to help in season two. His story seemed like it would be this trope, with him initially refusing help and leaving the hospital with his pimp at the end of the episode, but he returned only a few episodes later and helping him became the focus of Sarah's story arc for several episodes.
