* WildCard: They all represent different mental processes and will often feel compelled to act against their best interests if it conflicts with who they are. Imelda and Dan are the biggest offenders but every character has at least a few cases where they struggle to keep themselves from getting distracted from the case by whatever they are experiencing. This ties into the central theme of the season that there is time and a place for every one of them but they cannot act alone.

This trope is probably why he is a dog rather than a person like every other mental construct, he serves as sidekick to anyone he's with backing up and [[MeaningfulName Justifying]] there actions rather than directing the Big Guy to do anything on his own.
