Added DiffLines:

* SexForServices: Patoff urges Elaine to sleep with her ex-boyfriend Patrice as further "payment" for his help. She's disgusted at first but ultimately does so offscreen.


Added DiffLines:

* TheStoner: Amy, one of the supporting characters, turns out to be a frequent drug user. She smokes pot once with Craig in her car, and Amy admits she'd been on ketamine after Sang's murder for a time. Amy's a slightly hippieish woman who ditches her shoes in the office to put her feet up and has an overall casual air, with her having QuirkyCurls, though it's very {{downplayed}} in general.

* RiddleForTheAges: [[spoiler: It's never fully explained just what Regus Patoff actually ''is''. He appears to know everything about his clients and their employees, and his contract requires that his clients die a gruesome death. Also, his skeleton is apparently made out of solid gold.]]

to:

* RealityWarper: His "after work drink" with Craig shows elements of this; [[spoiler: the bridge he is driving across (giving him the excuse not to stop and let Craig out) appears to go on for as long as he wants it to, and when Craig goes back to the exclusive club the next day, the room is not only empty of everything that was there the previous night, even its dimensions are completely different.]] The extent or limitations of this aspect of the mystery is never revisited.

** Played straight: Elaine does some horrible things to advance her career, as does Sang to save his company. Neither are portrayed sympathetically by the end of season 1. Craig is so nice he's willing to take up Catholicism for his fiancée, everyone seems to love him, but he doesn't have any desire to move up the ranks. Given the way the whole company behaves when an office in the management suite becomes available; Craig is very much the outlier at CompWare.
