* ForcedToWatch: The survivors of [=LaRue=]'s rampage will surely suffer from severe [=PTSD=] for the rest of their lives – maybe even beyond – as they can only watch him kill several courtroom bailiffs, his defense attorney, the judge and another prisoner awaiting his own hearing ... and that's as he's licking his lips as he finally gets to rape Alex, all this as Trivette is begging [=LaRue=] to stop and a the parents of a young girl are desperately trying to shield her eyes. [[spoiler: (Surprisingly, [=LaRue=] didn't tape the girl's eyes open and force her to watch ... this after she's already witnessed multiple murders.)]]

* EverybodyLaughsEnding: Very much absent here. Instead of Alex, Walker and the gang all having a few good laughs at [=CD=]'s Place and making Trivette the butt of one last joke as though nothing had happened, we instead get Alex suffering an extreme episode of [=PTSD=] as she envisions [=LaRue=]'s corpse staring out at her one last time, as a parting shot of sorts. (Perhaps this was a sign to fans that a follow-up episode was planned, with [=LaRue=] planning an even more vicious and insane plan to kill Alex, but this ended up indeed being the last episode featuring [=LaRue=].)
