2	----
3	* AccidentalMurder: Byron kicked the car when Wendell said he killed Byron's dog (which he lied about), causing it to fall on Wendell.
4	* FalselyReformedVillain: Blaine swears to Liv that he's gone straight. As soon as she's gone, he goes into the basement to check out a coffin full of drugs.
5	* FreudianExcuse: Wendell became the way he was in life when his fibromyalgia set in 30 years before, combined with his wife having left him and taking the kids.
6	* GrumpyOldMan: The victim of the week, a cantankerous old man named Wendell Gale. Liv becomes this when she eats his brains.
7	* HatesEveryoneEqually: Wendell, as his sister-in-law stated.
8	-->'''Clara:''' You name it, he hates it. The laughter of children, puppies, other races, his own race, trick-or-treaters, Christmas carolers.
9	* NobleBigot: The old man brain Liv eats is an extremely racist, sexist and all around hateful person. Mixed with Liv's base personality you get this trope.

14	** Gilda says that Major is Film/MagicMike hot.

16	** Ravi calls Liv on a racist's brain [[Series/AllInTheFamily Archie Bunker]].
17	** Liv yells [[Series/ThirtyRock "Good God, Lemon!"]] at Clive when he assumes she had a vision solving the murder.
