* [[Paedo Hunt]]: Against a priest who turns out to have been wrongly accused.
* [[Pregnant Badass]]: Lina. Played fairly realistically in that she does not really get into the action too much, but she never backs down and she still her detective-smarts. Not to be messed with even in her third trimester.

* [["Well Done, Son" Guy|"Well Done, Daughter" Girl]]: Lampshaded in the first episode by Abby's mother, and a major part of Abby's angst regarding her taking the Internal Affairs job. Then later in another episode its a case of [["Well Done, Son" Guy]] as her older brother, Donnie, is portrayed as constantly seeking his father's approval and pride.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Both Danny and Brody call Abby out on the fact she's basically stringing them both along without making a choice.
* [[Worth It]]: When Papadol suspends Abby for going against his orders, he asks her if it was worth it. She replies that it was.
