* Lampshaded in ''[[Castle (TV)|Castle]]'': "There are two kinds of people who sit up all night dreaming of ways to kill people: Psychopaths and mystery writers."
* In ''[[Deep Space 9]]'' Kira is shown openly walking around pregnant with Chief O'Brian's child and yet O'Brian's wife, Keiko, is curiously friendly with her.

Soon we see a flashback where Gus's friend Max is killed in a similar manner.
