Line 129:
* [[Incorruptible Pure Pureness]]: Jamie has shades of this.
* [[Informed Attribute]]: In "Black and White", Frank blackmails the Mayor, insults an activist preacher to his face, and leaks a taped confession to the press. At the end, Frank's lawyer praises him for his political savvy (!) and urges to run for Mayor.
* [[Iron Lady]]: Erin's frown can reduce the mafia and even her brothers to quivering fear.
* [[It Runs in The Family]]: Nicky browbeating Erin into letting her stay out until 11:00 (Grandpa Henry: "[[When I Was Your Age|I was out on an aircraft carrier in the Pacific]] at her age!"). Frank wryly observes that she "made a very convincing argument."
* [[It's Personal]]: In "Officer Down", a cop dies in the line of duty. It becomes personal for every single cop in New York.
Line 249:
* [[Therapy Is for the Weak]]: Frank sourly tells his shrink that Reagan men don't go for prescription drugs. Or shrinks, for that matter.
* [[Toyota Tripwire]]: A perp decides to rabbit and escapes on a scooter. He nearly mows down Danny, but doesn't quite clear Jackie's front bumper. Ouch.
* [[Turbulent Priest]]: The clergy are naturally one center of power in town and municipal politics makes them a competitor from time to time. Mostly it's downplayed.
** [[Strawman Political|Reverend Potter]] is a black Protestant who has a constant grudge against Frank and regularly leads his congregation to the barricades. Once in a while he will admit Frank to be a [[Worthy Opponent]].
* [[Walker Family Dinner]]: What the family meals sometimes turn into.
* [[The War On Straw]]: The show does not take a romanticized view of the NYPD Commissioner's office. Frank has butted heads with protesters and union reps. [[Zig-Zagging Trope|Zig-Zagged]] in "Leap of Faith", which seems to portray the archdiocese as a standard [[Corrupt Church]] shielding a [[Sinister Minister|anarchist priest]]. Though Frank initially opposes hs nomination for sainthood, after performing his own investigation, he decides things weren't so black and white in the Vietnam days. He even comes to the Priest's defense when the archbishops show signs of buyer's remorse.
