* AmbiguousDisorder: While it is established that Elliot is clinically depressed and has social phobia as well as dissociative identity disorder, the manifestations of his mental illnesses (delusions, paranoia, hallucinations, etc.) strongly indicate schizophrenic traits. One could also deduce a presence on the autism spectrum based on his social interactions, prodigious technological skills, and detached, hyper-focused behavior.

** Darlene seems to be predominantly heterosexual, as demonstrated by her relationship with her boyfriend, Cisco. Some time after [[spoiler: Cisco's death, Darlene seduces Dom in an attempt to obtain her FBI access card, and at one point says "I said I wasn't a lesbian, end quote. I never said I wasn't into girls." It's unclear if Darlene is at all sexually attracted to Dom or if she did it just for the access, although in "406 Not Acceptable," Darlene admits her feelings toward Dom were genuine]].

It's unclear if Irving ever had relations with Whiterose or if this is simply an intimidation tactic.
