* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Deconstructed. Jimmy develops a crush on Frieda because she's one of the few people to reach out to him. However, Frieda is just being friendly and has no romantic interest in him. Her telling this to Nick while Jimmy is in earshot contributes to Jimmy's eventual breakdown.

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Deconstructed. Jimmy latches onto Virgil and Jimmy due to them going out of their way to be nice to him. He also develops a crush on Frieda because she's one of the few people to reach out to him. However, Frieda is just being friendly and has no romantic interest in him. Her telling this to Nick while Jimmy is in earshot contributes to Jimmy's eventual breakdown.



* ItsAllMyFault: Virgil struggles with his guilt over this situation, as he hadn't told any teachers about what Jimmy was going through or told anyone about him having access to a gun. Worse, he feels that having superpowers means that he more than anyone else could've stopped Richie from getting shot.

Worse, he feels that having superpowers means that he more than anyone else could've stopped Richie from getting shot. The therapist urges him to not be so hard on himself.

** While talking to the counselor, Virgil admits he's so mad about all this, including at himself for not doing more and things differently.

*** At one point, when Virgil and Richie drop by Jimmy's house to give him a new mouse, Jimmy's mom actually says to him, "try not to chase them away," implying that Jimmy only has himself to blame for his own unpopularity. This poor kid can't catch a break ''anywhere.''

Added DiffLines:

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Robert is this throughout the series but he especially makes use of his profession as a social worker here. He immediately recognizes from Jimmy's diary that the boy is depressed, urges Jimmy's father to get his son help, and chews Jimmy's father out for having a handgun in the house after it's revealed Jimmy stole it. He immediately has the police called to the school even if they arrive too late to stop Richie from being shot.
