* [[Ascended Extra]]: Nate Haskell, the Dick and Jane Killer.
* [[Autopsy Snack Time]]: Given a [[Take That]] when Doc Robbins irately says of a long retired coroner (who missed something in the original autopsy of someone who was to be exhumed) that he "held a scalpel in one hand and a hot dog in the other."
* [[Bait And Switch Answer]]: One suspect suffered from a string of incredibly bad luck; after he was caught, he related the incident to one where he got his daughter a puppy, and later backed out of the driveway. The investigator expects him to say he killed the puppy. He replies, [[Crosses the Line Twice|"No, I ran over my daughter.
