10* AllAsiansKnowMartialArts: The Chinese-American gangster whose brains Liv eats lends her this ability temporarily. And the Chinese-American gangster she fights also knows Kung Fu.
11* BoomHeadshot: How Blaine deals with the two [[DumbMuscle muscleheads]] going behind his back on trying to start their own brain business.
12* DirtyCop: Liv fears Clive is this in the visions. But as it turns out, he's not. Her visions were of him [[TheInfiltration going undercover and being violent to blend in]].
13* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Clive had a mustache when he was undercover.
14* IncrediblyConspicuousDrag: When Liv walks into Vice, there's a bearded man in a dress.
15* OddFriendship: Ravi approaches Major by being his new roommate because of Liv. Turns out that they become good ''videogame'' buddies.
16* TheParanoiac: Sammy Wong, the VictimOfTheWeek, was of an anxious and paranoid disposition, a trait that Liv inherits after eating his brain.
17* RaceFetish: Liv claims to be into Asian guys at the video store.
18* SexyShirtSwitch: When Liv visits Major in his house, she also happens to meet his girlfriend Corinne, who's only wearing his shirt, making the situation very awkward for everyone.
19* ShirtlessScene: Major is only in a ModestyTowel when Liv comes to visit him, and she obviously starts EatingTheEyeCandy.
20* ShoutOut:
21** The title is an allusion to the famous quote "Live and Let Live". Due to subject matter and rhyme, it could also be construed as an allusion to the James Bond movie ''Film/LiveAndLetDie'' (which is itself alluding to the original phrase).
22** "He was just this junkie who’s always yelling at us [[Series/PartyDown ‘are we having fun yet?’]].
23** Ravi describes Liv's life as the whorey version of ''Film/{{Memento}}''.
24** Liv quotes the classic "I know kung fu" line from ''Film/TheMatrix'' when she kip-ups on the street after walking into a shopping cart, and after a vision. A table also acts as SceneryCensor for Blaine's buttocks.
25* TalkingInBed: Jackie and Blaine's first scene is them waking up in bed under a ModestyBedsheet, and soon getting into a conversation over Jackie's recent zombification.
26* ToplessnessFromTheBack: Jackie and Blaine are both seen naked from the back as they get a makeover from his team to make them look more alive.
27* UnusualEuphemism: "Take a working lunch" for "eat the brains of a murdered corpse."
