* BelatedBackstory: Vera's tale about the bully and the "little bitch" is made more enlightening when [[spoiler: Krista sees right through the apparent fictionality of it, and deduces it to be a traumatic memory from Vera's own childhood.]] The normally talkative Vera is stunned to silence by this observation, before quickly downshifting into personal offense because [[spoiler: she essentially identified him as the "little bitch".]]
