* [[For Want of a Nail]] and [[In Spite of a Nail]]: Both apply. Little things Dan does add up--such as saving a woman who is going to be the mother of a gifted surgeon.

* [[It's a Small Net After All]]: Varies between being used straight and subverted; Dan gets all the information he needs on his subjects by typing their names into a [[Brand X]] version of Google, but somethings he has to narrow down the search four or five times before he gets anything relevant.
