*BadDate: Martine tells you another one of these has happened to Rita recently, and it's the reason why she decides to give up on dating altogether and instead adopts a dog.

*CallBack: [[Recap/CriminalCaseTheConspiracyCase23ILostMyHeartInXerda Zoe Kusama]] reappears, becoming a GuestStarPartyMember during the Additional Investigation.

*GuestStarPartyMember: Zoe joins you during the Additional Investigation to help Rita adopt a dog at Carlos' shelter.

*HiddenVillain: You discover the Demon Fish were released from the Xerdan caves the same day a man-made explosion occurred in the sewers of Grimsborough, which means an unknown person released the extremely dangerous creatures to the flood waters who are now wreaking havoc.
* ImprovisedWeapon: The murder weapon is a dog leash.
* IronicName: "Kitty" Young is a dogwalker.
*ItsAllMyFault: During his first interrogation, Benjamin blames himself for Penny's death due to being distracted dealing with the Demon Fish and not having time for her all week, believing she wouldn't have died had he been by her side.
*IJustWantToBeSpecial: During her arrest, Kitty says she just wanted to be as rich as the inhabitants of Maple Heights, hence why she started doing EngineeredHeroics involving kidnapping their dogs before turning them in for a reward.

*TheLostLenore: Even if they had already broken up by the time of her murder, Benjamin still takes Penny's death hard nonetheless, leaving clear he was still in love with her.
*MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: The female Demon Fish are revealed to be very dangerous in comparison to their mostly harmless male counterparts, as they produce a powerful and potentially lethal neurotoxin to protect their eggs and, since [[LivingRelic they're practically a complete new species in the modern world]], there's no cure for it.
*NewJobEpisode: During the Additional Investigation, Zoe tells Jones she's got a job volunteering at Carlos' animal shelter as part of her treatment.

*OnceDoneNeverForgotten: When Penny discovered Carlos had neglected to vaccinate the dogs at his shelter, she attempted to shut it down despite Carlos claiming it was an accident and promising to not do it again, giving him a strong motive for the murder.
* PreciousPuppy: After getting another BadDate, Rita decides to get a dog instead during the Additional Investigation, and she settles on a Doberman she names [[ContinuityNod Hector]].
*PunnyName: Doubling as BilingualBonus, Carlos Cachorro's surname means "Puppy" in Spanish and "Dog" in Portuguese.
*TheReveal: The female Demon Fish are extremely venomous and their poison has no cure for the moment. What's more, it's also revealed [[HiddenVillain someone]] deliberately freed the fish from an underground cistern into the Grimsborough waters, meaning there's a potential mass murderer on the loose.
*SealedEvilInACan: The Demon Fish were contained in an underground Xerdan cistern for centuries before someone blew up the sewers that connected with the caves, freeing them into the flood waters to wreak havoc.
* SheKnowsTooMuch: Kitty killed Penny because she found out Kitty was the dognapper stealing dogs to get rewards from their owners.
* SkewedPriorities: Martha regarding Penny's death.

[[VerbalBackspace Of course, it's a tragedy for Penny's family too.]]
*TheSlacker:
Penny liked dogs a bit too much much, to the point that she watched dog videos instead of doing work. her work as the mayor's assistant. This landed her in serious trouble with Mayor Price since it cost them [[EpicFail when Penny forgot to fill a grant form that would've granted them flood Grimsborough a hefty sum of relief funds.aid for the earthquake from the government]].
-->'''Gloria:''' Are you saying the Mayor's assistant was slacking off [=TrendVid=] while at work? Well, as a taxpayer, I'm not best pleased with that...
*TookALevelInKindness: In contrast [[Recap/CriminalCaseGrimsboroughMapleHeightsDistrict with her previous appearances]], Mayor Price seems to have mellowed out and become much less abrasive than she was five years ago. She also lacks the aggressive MoralGuardians approach of her political campaign.
*TropeyComeHome: Celine's dog Plopsie gets lost during the main investigation, though you manage to find him at the dog walking park without much trouble.
*UniversalPoison: Unfortunately {{Averted}} regarding the neurotoxin produced by the female Demon Fish, as there's no cure for it due to the species being hidden away for centuries. Martine and Rupert start working on one at the end of the case, though.
*WhenIWasYourAge: Rupert says this during one of his usual banters with Amir.
-->'''Rupert:''' Amir, I finally figured out why the fume extractor was making that weird noise. Your gym membership card was stuck in the fan.\\
'''Amir:''' Are you insinuating I'm unfit, Rupert? I'm hurt.\\
'''Rupert:''' Well, not to be smug, but when I was your age, my mates and I would run all the way from the Horse's Head to-\\
'''Gloria:''' Sorry to interrupt, but can you guys brief us about this blood sample?
