Line 23:
** Or {{spoiler|Teddy Rowe}}.
** Or the convict that Matt strangled to death in his cell.
* [[Back -Alley Doctor]]: Dr. Merrill Bobolit loses his medical license after botching a cosmetic surgery on a dog, and winds up performing cheap liposuctions in the back of a Korean nail salon.
* [[Back for The Dead]]: {{spoiler|Gina}} in Season 5.
* [[Back From the Dead]]: Julia's mother dies in a plane crash. When looking through the bodies, Julia finally finds the unidentifiably charred, but still human-shaped, remains of her mother. Suddenly, the body takes a huge gasp. Terrified, and knowing the woman will not have much a chance at survival anyway, Julia smothers her with a pillow. Later, she enters her apartment, where her mother has been sitting safe and sound all along, as she decided not to take the plane today.
Line 56:
* [[Freaks of the Week]]: A lot of the clients of the week were part of strange subcultures.
* [[Good Adultery, Bad Adultery]]: Played with so much it's hard to find a consistent standard.
* [[Goodbye, Cruel World]]: Megan O'Hara (Sean's first love) does this with his help after her breast cancer returns as does The [[Donnie Darko]]-esque [[Emo Kid]] Enigma, and then Kimber after she discovers that Christian is still unable to truly love her.
* [[Good Girls Avoid Abortion]]: Averted twice. In season 2, Liz had one when she finds out that the baby she's carrying would be born with Down's Syndrome. In season 6, Kimber has one when [[Jerkass]] Christian tells her that she could either choose between keeping him as her boyfriend or receive child support checks but lose him completely as he already has 3 kids and does not want another. There are some complications during the procedure and afterwards Kimber is told that she can't have kids anymore.
* [[Gorn]]: During the surgery scenes, and in plenty of other instances as well.
Line 88:
** At the end of the series, {{spoiler|they do split up for good, with Julia moving overseas with Annie and Conor.}}
* [[Morality Pet]]: Wilbur for Christian.
* [[Mother -Daughter Threesome]]: In "Cindy Plumb", Dr Christian Troy has a mother/daughter threesome with nurse Riley and her mother Jill White. When he asks the daughter if they do this often together, she reveals that the first time was when her mother walked in on her ''[[Parental Incest|making out with her stepfather]]''. He throws them out of his apartment not long after that because "this is [[Squick|too screwed up]], [[Even Evil Has Standards|even for me]]".
** On another occasion another women offers the same by essentially trying to pimp out her 17-year-old daughter along with herself in exchange for plastic surgery. Suitably disgusted, Christian declines and walks away.
* [[Never Found the Body]]: They never confirmed whether or not {{spoiler|Kimber really died. The Coast Guard just gave up the search for her body after two days.}}
Line 126:
* [[Victim Falls For Rapist]]: {{spoiler|Liz for Christian}}
* [[Villainous Rescue]]: In the last episode of Season 3 {{spoiler|Kit}} saves Christian and Sean from the Carver by shooting him in the back. Sounds good, huh? Not really, since {{spoiler|she is Carver's sister, they were working together all along and this is just a part of Carver's escape plan.}}
* [[Wham! Line]]: {{spoiler|"Ava's a man."}}
* [[What Happened to The Mouse?]]: Quite a few minor characters that impacted the story are cast aside with little explanation why. What happened to Cara Fitzgerald after she was raped by Matt's friend? What became of the transsexual Sofia Lopez? What happened to the neo-nazi Ariel {{spoiler|after her father was murdered by Cherry?}} Speaking of which, where did Cherry run off to? What became of Aidan Stone after he broke his neck trying to suck his own penis? What happened to Mike Hamoui after {{spoiler|Kimber killed herself by jumping off his yacht?}} The list goes on and on...
** This also seems to happen when a character is promoted to series regular. Grace Santiago was dropped with no explanation toward the end of the first season, and when Gina was added to the main cast of Season 3, she appeared a grand total of... four times. And was promptly removed and began appearing regularly as a guest star again.
