** The opening scene of the pilot dispels any notion that killing Buffalo Bill has turned Clarice Starling into a rising star at the Bureau; having developed PTSD from her encounter with Bill, Clarice has been banished to the basement of the BSU department, where her co-workers are all just waiting for her to leave.
** In the first episode, Clarice has a good theory behind the string of murders that VICAP is investigating, but since she has no solid evidence, Krendler refuses to investigate it. After she tries to force his hand by going public with her theory, he immediately puts in a request to send her back to the BSU.
** In the second episode, Clarice manages to get videotaped evidence and taped testimony to send the corrupt Sheriff Rowan to jail for trafficking and prostitution... and AG Martin tells her that instead of sending Rowan to jail, she intends to use the evidence to essentially blackmail him into giving up the names of every corrupt cop in his network, after which he will be allowed to resign and turn state's evidence. As Martin explains, jailing Rowan would simply create a power vacuum, and immediately rounding up everyone in his network at once would be a logistical nightmare.
** In "You Can't Rule Me", Clarice tries to reach out to Ardelia for help when VICAP is under investigation. Ardelia immediately shoots her down, as she's one of the people on the investigation, and therefore should not be speaking to Clarice. Clarice keeps doing it, however, and Ardelia gets increasingly pissed at her.

* TortureTechnician: Deconstructed with Marilyn Felker. On the one hand, as a physician, she has some theoretical understanding of how to cause pain to someone without killing them. On the other hand, she has no practical experience with torturing people, and thus her efforts to torture Clarice backfire (for instance, using a defibrillator on Clarice hurts her, but it also causes an adrenaline surge, making Clarice even more stubborn.) Plus, Felker is on a deadline and desperate, so she keeps making careless mistakes.
