* [[Absurdly Sharp Blade]]: Chapel manages to {{spoiler|decapitate Porter}} with a sword she bought...at Ren Faire.

* [[Action Survivor]]: Arguably Chapel herself.

* [[Anti-Hero]]: Chapel may be a Type III.

* [[Arch Enemy]]: Burke. Full stop.

'''Chapel:''' I don't like ''anybody,'' man! }}

* [[Backstory]]: The pilot episode, [http://vimeo.com/17858996 "Audited."]

* [[Book Safe]]: A gun is hidden in an encyclopedia in "Complicated."

* [[Bounty Hunter]]: [[Stealth Pun|Butch Sauft]], the man who originally caught Chapel. But [[Punch Clock Hero|it wasn't personal]].

'''Chapel:''' Sorry I ''ran.'' }}

* [[Breast Attack]]: "You just SHOT ME IN THE BOOB!!!"

* [[Bullets Do Not Work That Way]]: In "Extremed," when {{spoiler|Burke literally has to bite a bullet: "What if it goes off in my mouth?"}} [[Lampshade Hanging|"That's impossible! You know how unlucky you would have to be?"]]

* [[Camera Abuse]]: Invoked when Yvonne delivers a point-blank shotgun blast.

* [[Character Title]]

* [[Cool Shades]]: Part of Chapel's new look for the second season is a pair of vintage Ray-Ban's.

* [[Convenient Misfire]]: At the end of "Complicated."

* [[Country Matters]]: Benny's nickname for Yvonne in "Battered, Part One." {{spoiler|He lives to regret it}}.

* [[Create Your Own Villain]]: Not like they were exactly friends before, but {{spoiler|Burke}} gets a whole lot worse when Chapel doesn't kill her quite thoroughly enough.

* [[Deliberately Monochrome]]: The pilot episode, "Audited," is shot mostly in black and white.

* [[Didn't Want an Adventure]]: In Chapel's case, "I could have finished high school..."

* [[Disproportionate Reward]]: In "Jacked, Part Two," mobster Capobianco tells Chapel that he owes her a favor for saving his life, even though Princess, his own daughter, did a lot more work. Lampshaded by Chapel, who points out that she "only shot the one guy," but Princess insists that Chapel take the favor anyway.

* [[Double Tap]]: {{spoiler|Burke}} nails a couple of cops at close range with [[Cool Guns|a silenced .25 Colt]] in "Handcuffed."

* [[Evil Laugh]]: Burke, but an honorable mention goes to [http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=10150155105545597 Yvonne's crazed giggle] in "Battered, Part Two."

* [[Facial Horror]]: Burke, and we're finally shown the extent of the damage in "Neutralized." However, it's hinted that {{spoiler|the mob [[We Can Rebuild Him|can rebuild her]]}}...

'''Yvonne:''' Is my brother still dead? ([[Beat]].) Then I guess we're not cool. }}

* [[First-Person Smartass]]

* [[Groin Attack]]: Female-on-female example, when Chapel kicks Stone in the groin in the episode "Handcuffed."

* [[How We Got Here]]: Used in "Complicated," "Battered, Part One," and "Handcuffed."

* [[If You Kill Him You Will Be Just Like Him]]: In "Matched," Chapel gets the drop on Burke, who tells her, "Chapel, if you kill me, you will be just like me."

* [[Important Haircut]]: In "Audited," after being grabbed by her hair several times during fights, Chapel gets her hair cut very short. It's more practical than symbolic.

* [[It Gets Easier]]: Chapel says this almost exactly in "Famed."

* [[It's What I Do]]: Butch responds with this exact phrase when Chapel asks why his research on her was...oddly specific.

* [[Legion of Doom]]: Pretty much the story of "Inked."

* [[Mortal Wound Reveal]]: {{spoiler|The knife sticking out of Lehaney's chest}} in "Famed."

* [[Never Found the Body]]: In "Famed:"

'''Lehaney:''' Don't exaggerate. There weren't ''four'' dead bodies.<br />

'''Chapel:''' ...[[Oh Crap|What]]? }}

* [[Noodle Incident]]: We never do find out why Burke needed a bullet wound in "Extremed." When asked directly in a flashback, she simply says, [[Hand Wave|"That's not important."]]

* [[Not Herself]]: In "Guilted," a flashback (told from another character's point of view) shows Chapel behaving very strangely indeed, even commenting that she has to go to a party, because she has "handsome men to impress." Hearing this, Chapel even lampshades it. Later, we find out {{spoiler|that the person telling the story was given faulty information, and that the drug dealer in the story isn't Chapel at all, but ''Burke.''}}

* [[Pregnant Hostage]]: Who'd have thought it'd be {{spoiler|Burke}}?

* [[Private Eye Monologue]]

* [[Reality Subtext]]: In "Famed," Chapel is called upon to play drums, although she hasn't in years. In real life, Emily Mills is an accomplished drummer who plays in more than one band.

* [[Real Life Relative]]: Danielle Atkins, who plays Ronnie, the sister of Henry [[Backup Twin|and Harold]], is Ben Wilson's real-life sister.

* [[Revolvers Are Just Better]]: When buying a gun in "Loaded," Chapel picks a customized Smith & Wesson .44 magnum, naming this trope for the reason.

* [[Reports of My Death Were Greatly Exaggerated]]: Chapel says to {{spoiler|her mother}}, " {{spoiler|Dad}} said you were dead."

* [[Scary Shiny Glasses]]: Grocer's aviators in "Karated." Chapel's own Ray-Ban's are also a variant.

* [[Shotguns Are Just Better]]: Yvonne seems to prefer using one in more than one episode.

* [[Shur Fine Guns]]: Will seems to be carrying at least one of these (if not two) in "Extremed."

* {{spoiler|[[Sibling Yin-Yang]]:}} Crazy theater girl Labyrinth is revealed to be {{spoiler|Chapel's little sister}}.

* [[Something Completely Different]]: The episode "Inked" is done in motion comic format.

* [[Stylistic Suck]]: Lehaney reading from a movie script in "Famed." It's basically the same opening monologue from "Complicated," with a few cheesy lines thrown in.

* [[Terrible Trio]]: Burke, Stone, and Yvonne team up to kill Chapel in "Inked." Burke seems to be the brains, Yvonne the beauty, and Stone the muscle, but these roles are a bit subjective.

* [[The Stinger]]: Almost every episode has one.

* [[Theme Music Power-Up]]: When Chapel returns to {{spoiler|save Yvonne}} in "Battered, Part Two."

* [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill]]: {{spoiler|Ronny's death}} in "Famed."

* [[Time Skip]]: Between Season One and Two.

* [[Unknown Rival]]: Chapel isn't even aware that {{spoiler|Burke is still alive}} until the episode "Inked."

* [[Verbed Title]]: Every episode.

* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: In "Famed," when {{spoiler|former movie star Lehaney}} realizes that she's dying, she begs Chapel for help. Chapel's response? {{spoiler|She watches Lehaney bleed out, then takes pictures of her dead body to sell to the press.}} HARSH.

* [[Worthy Opponent]]: Burke says this to Chapel in "Matched."
