* TearJerker: Annalise breaking down while she explains to Wes that she and her husband have been trying and failing to have a child, and it's been putting a lot of stress on her- and it's even worse because it really seems like she's telling all of this to a new student because she doesn't have any friends or anyone she could talk to about it.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: In the fourth episode, Annalise tells the main five students (who are all working for her) to investigate their client's employees. Wes asks her how she knows it was one of the employees who did the crime, and Annalise simply says that she doesn't, but what she ''does'' know is that everyone hates their boss. The main five all just look at her.

* UnfortunateImplications: Michaela's fight with her boyfriend over his previous relationship with Connor edges into this. She angrily asks him if he is gay, and demands to know if there are other men he's had sex with. Bisexuality seems [[NoBisexuals not to be an option]] considered by either party, which makes the scenes a case of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisexual_erasure bi erasure]].
** At the end of the episode, he apologizes to Michaela. Though considering it was an insignificant experimentation that happened years before they even met, his need to apologize gave off the implication that he was sorry for being bisexual.

** ''Most'' characters on the show are shaping up to be this, as with the possible exception of Wes they all have some major damage that makes them at best [[GrayAndGreyMorality morally grey.]] This was probably a given considering the show centers around defending people who are actually guilty of what they're accused of.
