Line 9:
* [[A Birthday, Not a Break]]: In "A Silent Cry," Darcy Reynolds, the daughter of a deceased cop Walker was friends with is drugged and raped when she goes to her first bar on her 21st birthday. She's left so traumatized she refuses counseling to avoid talking about it. It's only after her mother speaks of her own past and Trivette and Walker beating the crap out of two of the rapists (the other was murdered for having remorse) that she goes through counseling and can recover.
* [[Abusive Parents]]: Sadly some of the villains of the series have their own kids and are just as mean to them as they are to any of their victims.
** Salvatore Matacio is a drug kingpin who took his son, Nicolas, away from his ex-wife with his high-priced lawyers and was forcing Nicolas to become a carbon copy of himself. His methods of this include blowing up Nicolas' remote control car with C4, letting him fall off a ladder in the library, threatening to have Nicolas' tongue removed when he overheard his father ordering his ex-wife's murder, and even striking him. {{spoiler|[[Hoist Byby HerHis Own Petard|This bites him in the ass]] when Nicolas hands Walker his father's gun after it was knocked from Salvatore's hand.}}
** Max Kale, a mad bomber, planned to blow himself up {{spoiler|along with Walker and his own daughter}}.
* [[Action Girl]]: Ranger Sydney Cooke from the last two seasons. She hits exactly as hard as her heavier-built male counterparts. In "The Avenging Angel" during a fight, a mook punched her in the face and she looked more annoyed than hurt.
Line 75:
** In the episode "Right Man, Wrong Time", [[Mary Elizabeth McGlynn]] portrays country singer Merilee Summers. This is, [[Your Mileage May Vary|in a way]], [[Silent Hill|a demonstration of]] [[Crowning Music of Awesome|her singing voice]], and this is one of a few live-action acting roles [[Ghost in the Shell|prior]] [[Outlaw Star|to]] [[Code Geass|her]] [[Cowboy Bebop|voice]] [[Wolf's Rain|acting]] [[Digimon Tamers|career]].
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: [[Cam Clarke]] is everywhere in this show. Usually he's just a background voice on the radio or TV, but occasionally he dubs over other characters when they're off screen. One time he actually dubbed a villain who was ''on screen,'' which created a huge dissonance the next time you hear the guy and he has a voice that actually looks like it would come out of him.
* [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard]]: In the Episode, "A Father's Image", the villain Salvatore forces his son, Nicolas to go up a ladder and tells the boy to jump and trust that he'd catch him. When Nicolas jumps down, Salvatore lets him fall to the floor and tells his son not to be so trusting. During the final battle with the Texas Rangers, Salvatore's gun is knocked from his hand and grabbed by Nicolas. Salvatore tells Nicolas to trust him and give him the gun but his son instead hands it to Walker. Salvatore angrily yells at his son saying he trusted him. All Nicolas can say is he trusted his dad. Bobbie Hunt and even Salvatore's facial expressions lampshades this.
** The final villain, Emile Lavocat, is killed when {{spoiler|Walker pulls the pin on Lavocat's own grenade.}}
** Zig Zagged with Max Kale in "Blown Apart." [[Not Afraid to Die|Max doesn't fear death]] but seeks to kill Walker and {{spoiler|his own daughter with his last bomb strapped to his chest. Thankfully, Walker subdues the mad bomber giving his daughter time to escape.}} In the scuffle, the previous detonator used to bomb Max's old neighborhood falls on the suicide vest's detonator but Walker escapes the blast leaving Max to [[Dying Alone|face the one thing he did fear.]]
