* BarBrawl: In the pilot episode, Joey and Levon who Do Not Get Along get into a knock-down-drag-out fight in the middle of a crowded bar. This naturally sparks a bar brawl, but before it can really achieve its full potential, the [[TwoShotsFromBehindTheBar bar's owner fires a shotgun]] in the air and announces that this is a private fight between these two and everyone else needs to settle down and stay out of it.
* ExternalCombustion: This is the backstory of Detective Levon Lundy, the criminals he was investigating decided to get him off their case permanently, but unfortunately his wife took the car out that morning.
* HiddenWire: Particularly nasty example, the person wearing the wire was a civilian volunteer helping the police (partly because he had a romantic interest in one of the cops). Partway through the discussion, the wire malfunctioned and started sparking, and he was immediately shot and killed.
* NotListeningToMeAreYou: Detective Lundy tell his distracted lieutenant that he's thinking about buying a suspect lunch, a new car, and a round-trip ticket to Paris. She doesn't react as he says it, but a few minutes later she dryly warns his bemused partner that she doesn't want to see a ticket to Paris on their expense report.
