* HeelFaceTurn: The mugger on the subway is genuinely moved by his conversation with Rochelle, and while he still robs everybody, he gives her back her purse.
* HeroicSacrifice: The old man ''tries'' to take a bullet for Rochelle, but the mugger tells him not to "tell [him] who to shoot" and even Rochelle tells him not to do something so dumb[[labelnote:*]]in her eyes[[/labelnote]].
* NotSoAboveItAll: Mr. Omar is tasked with looking after Drew and Tonya as Rochelle goes to work and Julius goes out to rescue Chris. At first, he is clearly disinterested and would love to be left alone with his latest widow, but eventually, he starts to enjoy playing games with the kids, which annoys the aforementioned woman.
* ShaggyDogStory: Chris really shouldn't have been sent to school as it was announced as closed around the time he made it there. Common sense would say to keep him home anyway considering that there was a damn ''blizzard'' outside, but this ''is'' [[EducationMama Rochelle]] we're talking about.. Inversely, Julius' quest to rescue Chris was for naught because Chris already made it home by the time he reached the school.
