* HonorBeforeReason: Captain Carter at first plays fairly in his competition with Jack for the position of Sheriff, [[spoiler: losing ''spectacularly''. But even when he finally cheats, he goes to Jack in private to confess Lily helped him win, and that he's figured out on his own who he really is.]] His reason? [[spoiler: Even knowing Jack is wanted for ties to organized crime ''and has been implicated in murder plots before'', Carter still gives him a chance to accept his loss and quietly leave town - right after telling Jack he cheated and leaving no guarantees he won't rat Jack out anyway.]] Needless to say, Carter doesn't even make it home before [[spoiler: Jack has Henderson's men kill him and frame the Neckties]].

** Lily shared the old sheriff's hatred of drug dealers, amplified after his death. Henderson predicted that if Jack didn't get rid of them, she'd probably end up dying the same way he did. After the Neckties are eliminated, she [[spoiler: makes an enemy of Jack and goes so far as to compromise her morals by agreeing to become Henderson's puppet in exchange for killing him. Jack sees through it immediately and has ''her'' killed first.]]

* YouAreInCommandNow: Lily Reed is a replacement after Sheriff Wells and two senior officers were killed in an attempt to arrest the leader of Neckties gang. Unfortunately, her status as a new leader meant that she lacks the experience and respect to lead the station. In one of her conducts, it resulted in the death of her second-in-command Gale, where Jack Boyd decided to take over thanks to his experience as a police chief.

* RabidCop: Charlie Fletcher is, quite frankly, nuts. His EstablishingCharacterMoment has him break into Jack's shack, slam him on a table, and put a gun to his head, all while mocking how incompetent of a drug runner he (apparently) is.
