* AbortedArc: Melanie was set up to have a {{hidden agenda|Villain}} throughout her tenure, manipulating others like Junior, hyper-focusing on the egg, and [[spoiler:trapping the townspeople in cocoons to change them into... ''something''. She's killed by her perceived accomplice Christine before any of this can actually bear fruit,]] and what she was planning or how she even came BackFromTheDead is unrevealed.



* BrokenAesop: Big Jim tells Barbie the story of how he played football in high school and the team's star player disrespected him. Big Jim hit the guy so hard during practice that it broke the guy's pelvis. Big Jim sees the moral of the story to be that you have stand up for yourself and not let others disrespect you. Barbie points out that the story could also be seen as a lesson that being on Big Jim's team can be more dangerous than being his opponent.



* DespotismJustifiesTheMeans: Big Jim Rennie begins to take on aspects of this as early as his battle with Ollie for control over the propane and water, but crosses fully into this realm as of his manipulation of the townfolk into giving up their civil liberties, then calmly telling Barbie exactly how he will pin all the crimes he's committed onto Barbie and three innocent teenagers. Lampshaded almost to the point of {{Narm}}:

* KickTheDog
** A literal example by [[spoiler: a kinship-controlled Barbie]] in season 3.
* KickTheSonOfABitch
** Junior [[spoiler:killing a man who is lying helplessly on the ground and pleading for his life would cross the MoralEventHorizon... if said man wasn't one of the two guys who killed Rose and tried to rape Angie. It's not hard to feel satisfaction when Junior mercilessly puts him down.]]
** Most of the people that [[spoiler: Big Jim]] murders, particularly [[spoiler: Maxine and Agatha]]. However, he finally crosses the MoralEventHorizon when he coldly executes [[spoiler: Dodee]], simply for being in the wrong place at the wrong time and hearing something she shouldn't have.

%%* DeadStarWalking: [[spoiler:Jeff Fahey]].[[spoiler: For those who haven't read the novel, Creator/JeffFahey, who's arguably the most familiar face in the cast. Plus, he's playing the town's police chief, and seems well on his way to being an important figure in the story. He doesn't live past the first episode.]]

* HasTwoMommies: A pair of lesbian mothers were driving their daughter to a "summer camp" when the dome hit. [[spoiler:As of episode 7, Norrie has only one Mommy. Then Carolyn died in season 3, episode 8.]]

* CrazyJealousGuy / {{Yandere}}: Junior. After Angie breaks up with him, he follows her around, sees her bumming a smoke off another guy, and decides to kidnap her and keep her locked up in his bomb shelter--[[TheKindnapper for her own good]], of course, [[IRejectYourReality because the dome coming down clearly scrambled her brains and made her stop loving him, so he has to keep her safe until it lifts.]] He also tries to MurderTheHypotenuse, only Barbie has no idea what he's talking about and easily kicks his ass.
