Line 6:
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: The "bunny boiler" incident. Gets cranked [[Up to Eleven]] when Alex ''kidnaps'' Dan's daughter several days later, terrifying her parents -- and the viewer -- with the thought that she could have harmed her if she wanted to, and indirectly leading to Dan's wife being injured in a car accident.
* [[Sein Language]]: After this movie, "bunny boiler" became a popular term for a crazy woman.
* [[Straw Man Has a Point]]: For all of Alex's crazed behavior, she's absolutely right that Dan has a moral and legal obligation to the child she's carrying. If it exists, that is.
** If it exists.
** And when Dan rebuffs her advances, saying "I have a whole relationship with someone else", she asks "Then what were you doing with me", pointing out his hypocrisy.
* [[Unfortunate Implications]]: Alex is an unmarried thirty-something career woman. Despite initially being presented as intelligent, independent, and successful, she quickly goes completely off the deep end in her efforts to hang onto a man and have his baby.
