Line 22:
* [[Going Commando]]: Kate's ex drops by late at night. She greets him while wearing an undershirt and pauses before she realises she isn't wearing a bra.
* [[Gold Digger]]: Averted by Kate's former stepmother Lauren. She really did love her husband, and her depth of emotions are reflected in the episode where she cannot even bear to enter his office. When the emotion becomes too much for her during the work day, she locks herself in the bathroom and submerges her face in ice water. She also tells Judge Nicastro she's terrified that if she appears to be moving on in any way, people will think she never really loved Teddy (Nicastro perceptively points out that by 'people' she means 'Kate').
* [[Hey
* [[Ice Queen]]: Lauren. Definitely [[Defrosting Ice Queen|defrosting]] as of Season 2.
* [[Idiot Ball]]: As an intelligent, experienced former attorney Kate really should know better than attempt some of the stunts she pulls. She seems to think that mediation can solve everything and seems surprised when quite often it will blow up in her face and make the situation worse.
Line 31:
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: Justin ([[Battlestar Galactica|aka Anders]]) has a number of shirtless scenes, and one scene where he goes totally nude on his apartment's balcony as a karmic punishment to his neighbor for regularly doing the same.
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Kate and Lauren. In addition to that mentioned above, Kate routinely wears tight/short skirts and heels. And despite Lauren's [[Ice Queen|iciness]] she almost always wears extremely flattering dresses and heels. Not to mention the almost absurdly tight dress she wears on her date with [[Battlestar Galactica|Helo]].
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: In "Bo Me Once", {{spoiler|Kate meets Bo's producer Beth, in her office. Then Beth tells her her father, the real Bo, was abusive. Then Kate apologizes; she invited Beth's father to the office to hash it out, and offers to sneak her out the back wa--whoops, he's already there.}}
* [[Only in It For The Money]]: Usually what an be broken down for Ben's reason for helping anyone, which he admits. Which, while it is his job and nothing wrong with caring about it professionally, pushes him to intentionally screw the rules at times if it means he can get a bit more money.
** Kate is tasked with helping a woman who is an illegal immigrant and unintentionally committed identity theft (she thought the identity was fake rather than stolen). She screws up and {{spoiler|the woman ends up getting arrested and set to be deported}}. Everything Kate does to help only makes the situation worse.
Line 43:
** As little as Kate might like to admit it, Lauren is also this. Everything she does is quite reasonably calculated to keep the firm alive (which is on the ropes since the death of Teddy Reed, Lauren's husband and Kate's dad).
** Lance, the bank foreclosure rep is more than happy to [[Take the Third Option|accept a viable alternative]] rather than force people into bankruptcy.
* [[Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right]]:
** This is how Kate lives her life. In order to right a wrong she will any rules that stand in her way and will not care for the personal, business or legal consequences.
** Ben mixes this with [[Amoral Attorney]]. If he thinks that he can get a client a better deal, he will not let things like legal ethics stop him.
