** Luna's dad from ''The Girl Who Wasn't There'' tries to move his family into an ancient tower. It becomes increasingly clear that it's likely to fall in, but takes him months to face up to the reality despite his friends, family and a surveyor pointing this out, while Luna has been doubtful about moving there from the start.

** Similarly to ''Vicky Angel'', it's not clear if Tansy from ''The Girl Who Wasn't There'' is a real ghost or made up. Aurora only starts talking about her after reading her story and has a very overactive imagination, so it's possible she made her up. However, Luna thinks she sees an apparition of Tansy at the end, which suggests she might have been real all along.

** In "The Suitcase Kid", Andy reflects that her stepfather Bill treats ten-year-old Katie like an angel and acts like she can do no wrong when she's actually incredbly mean (Andy is the only one who gets in trouble when she and Katie fight). In contrast, he nags his older daughter Paula and appears to not even like Graham. Graham even recounts a story when Katie gave him a black eye and he got in trouble for it - not because he provoked her (he didn't), but because he couldn't hold his own against her.

* TheUnreveal:
** It is never revealed in ''Little Darlings'' whether or not Destiny is the biological daughter of Danny Kilman. Evidence shows to support and not support this theory. To support it, Destiny is a fantastic singer, and bears resemblance to Danny and his daughter Sunset, but to not support it, her mother is clearly more than a little unhinged and overly obsessed with Danny, which makes it possible to show she might be making this up herself.
** "The Power of the Shade" does not reveal whether Aunt Win is really Amy's biological mother and May's grandmother. To support it, Win was far more involved in Amy's (and later May's) upbringing than you would expect from an aunt. Their neighbour tells May that everyone suspects Win was really Amy's mother; and when May questions why Win was allowed at Amy's hospital bedside despite not being a close relative, Win is about to tell her something but is interrupted. To not support it, the neighbour is deliberately causing trouble and could just be bringing up nasty gossip. May doesn't believe her grandfather would betray his wife, and while she admits she could be wrong about that, she also doesn't think her grandmother would have been forgiving enough to let Win keep living with them.
* UngratefulBastard: Jeannie Rivers' behaviour after [[spoiler: Nurse Budd is dismissed for turning Beth into an opium addict]] is in line with this. She complains that she'll never be able to find another nurse who could handle Beth and actually acts as if Rose's questioning was the cause of all the problems (had Rose not questioned things, Beth might not have survived). When her husband explains that Clover would mind Beth from then on, Jeannie simply replies that they should dismiss Clover despite her success as a nurserymaid. Jeannie is, in short, dismissing the evidence in order to preserve her perception - therefore, Rose did wrong, and Clover should never have been hired, which makes her seem very ungrateful for her daughter's life being saved.
