* FriendInThePress: In season three, following two failed engagements, Clara decides to underline her past, and carve a new life and career for herself as a journalist. Unfulfilled by the dull, minor social events her paper sends her to report on, she uses her connections to Max and Oscar to get details of the cases they are working on allowing her to print the story first and thus get a chance to have a serious career. In return she attempts to become this for them, offering the full support of the press, although they are both initially reluctant to take her up on the offer they manage to work out a functioning relationship.

** Xiuying, the Chinese woman in "The God of Shadows" who runs the OpiumDen. She takes evil pleasure in getting imperialist Austrian soldiers hooked on opium. That may be understandable, but then she steals the bag of diamonds and skips town, getting away clean.

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Whether the [[spoiler:UsefulNotes/HolyLance]] in "Darkness Rising" has any powers is not addressed for certain (though leaning towards "probably not"). The victim Brother Stanislav and the infirmarian Brother David both attributed Stanislav's recovery from an illness to a miracle stemming from it, but the Abbot is skeptical of ''all'' religious relics, pointing out that the Church has collected an impossibly large number of them and arguing that the only real power any of them has is to make people {{greed}}y.

By the end of the story, it has provoked five homicides by three different people, and Max and Oskar come to the conclusion that they don't need a mystical curse to explain events, just sheer human greed.

* SuddenDownerEnding: Max's romance with Therese in Season 3 comes to a screeching halt at the end of the last episode, when he drops by her apartment and discovers a husband there with her. There's not a hint of foreshadowing of this except for a cryptic comment by Therese earlier in the season that "there's something you don't know about me."

** It's a little bit ambiguous just what language people are supposed to be speaking in "Death Is a Welcome Guest", when Max and Oskar are interviewing United States Senator Paul Adler. Senator Adler is an ethnic Austrian who has ties to right-wing pan-German nationalist groups and has been meeting with them while he's in the country, so presumably he speaks German...but then again he is an American, so there's really no way to tell.
