| 8 | * EmbarrassingFirstName: Linus Larrabee didn't have many friends as a child because of his name. He had to beg for his mother to change it, and she did -- to "Spencer", which is more common. |
| 9 | * GoneHorriblyRight: The wife of the country club owner confesses to having done her best to track down Margot and Spencer after falling for their con artistry that cost her a fortune and nearly destroyed her marriage (and it took weeks before managing to track them down, according to her). She arrived at the motel... just in time to see the incident leading to Margot being shot, though she was far away enough to avoid being seen by anyone there. Despite not knowing the full truth behind the whole incident and not being targeted from the event, she was still shaken by it, as she tells the detectives. |
| 10 | -->I didn't know what happened and I didn't want to know. I left. Did my best to pretend I was never there. |
| 11 | * TheGamblingAddict: Subverted. After Margot and Spencer swindled money out of the wife of the country club owner, she claimed to have a gambling addiction to her husband -- and go through the rehab procedures in Gamblers Anonymous as well -- in order to keep her failed fling that ended up costing a fortune a secret and save her marriage. |
| 12 | * IJustWantToBeNormal: Spencer confesses to feeling this way about the life of crime he's been living in since he was a young boy. |
| 13 | * IdenticalStranger: The woman Spencer had fallen in love with looks a lot like Margot. |
| 14 | * RelativeError: The detectives investigate the past Margot and her boyfriend Spencer, eventually discovering that Margot and Spencer were con artists and they weren't a couple, as an informant tells them: |
