** In season 3, Fuches elects to [[spoiler:pose as a private eye and approach the families of Barry's victims, pointing to him as their killer and noting how the police won't catch him, all in the hopes that it will create vigilantes who'll kill Barry. As its shown, making ordinary people into killers is not exactly a straight process. The widow and son of the hotel man are clearly nervous wrecks who have no idea what they're doing, the mother ultimately shooting her son by accident. Ryan's father is severely depressed in his grief over his child, even when having Barry at his mercy he states that he just wants to see his son again, ultimately turning his gun on himself. In contrast, Janet's father Jim is a much more suspicious of Fuches's story and skilled enough of a manipulator that it's very easy for him to trick Fuches into police custody. ]]

* HypocriticalHumour: Early in Season 2 Mr. Cousineau instructs the acting class to recreate a scene from their own lives, offering an honest look to themselves and others about who they are. Barry elects to tell the story of a time in Afghanistan where his fellow Marine Albert was shot, eventually admitting in a private moment to Cousineau that in a revenge-fueled rage he shot a totally innocent civilian by mistake, some family connections managing to get him discharged and basically allowing him to get away with it. In a moment of particularly dark humor, the horrified Gene immediately tells Barry to never repeat the tale to anyone else.
