* DidNotGetTheGirl: PJ, Adam, Jack and Jonesey all had failed love lives. In fact, the only officer who did end their run on the series in a happy relationship was Nick.
* OfficeRomance: Most of the cops had at least one, and while some lasted longer than others, absolutely ''none'' of them ended happily. PJ's relationships with Maggie and Jo both ended in death, Tess's relationship with Jack ended almost immediately after it started when he was arrested for MurderByInaction, and Susie's WillTheyOrWontThey relationship with Evan never recovered after he found out she'd slept with Alex.

* RevisitingTheColdCase: Season 5's "Murder in Mind" has Chris finding a journal hidden in the pub decades earlier, containing a fairly detailed account of a murder committed by the owner, and she insists that Tom and PJ look into it. The cops soon learn that the murder did take place in 1946 and that a likely suspect is still alive and much beloved in the community. As it happens, she did assault the victim as described, but the killing blow was struck afterward by her father.
