1	* HarsherInHindsight: Creator/RobinWilliams played the VillainOfTheWeek, which ended with the strong implication that his character committed suicide to avoid capture. Williams died in 2014, and his death was indeed a suicide.
2	* MagnificentBastard: [[ObfuscatingStupidity Merritt Rook]] is a former audio engineer whose wife died in childbirth thanks to an error from the doctor. Rook, gaining a hatred of authority figures, manipulated and harassed the doctor into suicide before making calls posing as an authority figure to make others commit crimes for no reason but [[BavarianFireDrill a voice on the phone told them to]]. Representing himself at trial to get his views out, Rook manages to get acquitted and [[TheRevolutionWillNotBeVillified keeps his movement going]] before Detective Benson goes to arrest him. Turning the tables, Rook sets a trap for Stabler where he forces him to torture Benson at risk of a bomb exploding only to reveal Benson was never in danger and her screams were prerecorded. Rook proceeds to flee, with the [[UncertainDoom assumption being he drowns in the river]], but the strong possibility remaining he manages to escape justice entirely after [[TheBadGuyWins proving the points he wishes]].
