** There's even an extended sequence where Jill goes into great detail about why she can only pick certain locks and why she can't simply kick open the ones she can't; The locking mechanism is so unique and special that she has no clue how to get it open without a key, and then when she considers kicking it open she finds that the door and the frame are so heavily reinforced that she has no hope in hell of breaking it. She then considers shooting out the lock but fears that the bullet may ricochet and hurt her ([[ShownTheirWork an actual concern in real life]]). Barry on the other hand has no problem booting open one of these reinforced doors when he saves Jill from [[MemeticMutation becoming a Jill Sandwich]] because, as a scene in an earlier chapter of him casually carrying a duffel bag that weighed well over 100 pounds implied, he's just ''that'' strong.

** At the beginning of ''Caliban Cove'', the surviving Raccoon S.T.A.R.S. have reported their findings from the Spencer mission to S.T.A.R.S. HQ. Their hope is that the senior leadership will take it seriously and bring them in for the expected investigation into Umbrella's bio-weapons research and development. Then they quickly find out Umbrella didn't just compromise Wesker; their corporate tendrils have already penetrated much of the organization. There is no investigation, their own people have branded them as liars, and the Raccoon S.T.A.R.S. are now on their own with no backup, no resources, and no protection from inevitable Umbrella retaliation.

* IdiotPlot: An in-universe one as Annette Birkin and William Birkin planned to give the G-virus to ''The Umbrella Corporation'' in exchange for a seat on the board. Instead, the Umbrella Corporation sent the U.S.S. to take the virus by force and ended up destroying Racoon City. This is in contrast to canon where Birkin intended to sell the G-Virus to another organization. May also qualify as PoorCommunicationKills.

She genuinely believes her daughter is safe during the events of the Racoon City outbreak and is horrified to discover she's not. That said, the more sympathetic moments she gets in her interactions with Claire from the game are absent in the book, and she's behavior towards Leon grows more unstable over time.

* PragmaticAdaptation: ''The Umbrella Conspiracy'' amalgamates both Chris and Jill's scenarios from the original game, meaning that Chris, Jill, Barry, and Rebecca all make it out of the mansion as established by canon. Notably, Chris, Jill, Barry, and Wesker all make it to the mansion's main hallway after being chased by zombie dogs (and Chris manages to hold onto his gun) and it's only when Chris goes to investigate the first zombie that the group gets split up.
