* AlwaysMurder / NeverSuicide: Averted here, as the death was actually suicide, despite all appearances to the contrary. Quinton had already committed suicide ''before'' someone tried to murder him, but the would-be killer didn't realize it.
* DueToTheDead: At the end of the episode, Martha Quinton scatters her husband's ashes over their deceased baby daughter's grave in a private service, with Father Brown officiating.
* MayDecemberRomance: Leonard Quinton and his much younger mistress, though as the episode progresses, it becomes apparent that he only started a relationship with her in a vain attempt to distract himself from other stressors in his life.
* MyGreatestFailure: Leonard Quinton is consumed by guilt over prescribing Thalidomide to his pregnant wife for her morning sickness, which resulted in their daughter being born severely deformed and dying at barely 3 months old. This guilt eventually drives him to take his own life.
