Lucy is told that he won't harm her if there's a criminal present for him to focus on, but when she asks what would happen if he were to change without one present: [[OhCrap 'I'd rip out my IV and run like the wind.']]]]

* AmbiguouslyGay: Given the largely absent radar, this trope is a bit questionable. In the case of Randal Mann, the only thing retaining ambiguity is the fact he is never directly referred to as gay. Alfendi's tendency to not really notice if a woman is particularly attractive or not and his perplexed and exasperated responses to people implying he and Lucy might have something going on nudges him towards either this trope or asexuality.

* BeneathTheMask: [[spoiler: Alfendi's "normal", placid personality comes off as somewhat mask-like once Other Alfendi has been revealed.
