** Pretty much any time [[DeadpanSnarker Clarissa]] is on-screen. In her very first scene, she's being followed around the Lyell Centre by a security guard, to whom she insistently states "I'm not lost. Do I look lost?", Jack having not told Leo she was coming. After she has a snark-laden conversation with Leo, Jack finally comes running in and tries to salvage the situation, stating "Did I mention Clarissa?" She then gets to explain she's Jack's lab partner, or rather, she states she's there to "[make] him look clever." She then sighs and adds "I don't always succeed."
** During an autopsy in the second part of "In A Lonely Place", Nikki discusses her theory that the killer is a misogynist that enjoys terrorising and killing women due to his own feelings of inadequacy. One of the detectives, who has been kind of a dick to her and Jack up to this point, seems unconvinced, drily remarking that she's "Quite the profiler, for a pathologist." Without changing her expression, Nikki remarks that she's "picked up a few things over the years. [[TakeThat Mostly from guys like you]]." After [[{{Beat}} an awkward silence]], the detective clears his throat and asks her to continue.
** Jack and Chrissy's sniping at each other in "Trust".
*** Whilst inspecting two bodies found in a basement, Jack suggests it could've been a suicide pact. Chrissy snarkily asks "A ''naked'' suicide pact where both women end up under plastic?" Jack simply snarks right back that "[[Franchise/SherlockHolmes Sherlock]] would've explained it."
*** Whilst discussing motives for the killing, Chrissy suggests sex, stating that when it comes to regrets, sex tends to be high on the list...whilst maintaining direct eye contact with Jack. His expression smacks of 'Did you ''really'' just go there?'
*** When it's discovered one of the victims was poisoned with pufferfish venom, Jack suggests "evil sushi chefs" as one of the potential culprits. Chrissy is not amused.
** The ridiculously cheery, bright yellow scrubs Harry dons in one episode.
** Although it's a serious moment, whilst arguing over one of her cases being compromised with Thomas and a higher-up, Nikki, irritated no one is listening to her side, asks "Does the 'little woman' get a say?" The higher-up immediately yells "NO!" before turning back to Thomas to continue lecturing him. It's so blatantly sexist and Nikki's annoyance and disbelief are so palpable, [[CrossesTheLineTwice it just ends up being funny]].
** In "Commodity", Jack gets in trouble for 'threatening' a detective during a disagreement (the detective actually blew it out of proportion) and he is ordered to apologise. Jack reluctantly swallows his pride and prepares a whole speech about how he's 'not angry just passionate', which Thomas pre-approves. Then, when the meeting actually occurs, Jack only gets as far as "I'm sorry" before Thomas cuts him off with a cheery "Now that's settled" before chewing out the detective for being uncooperative. Jack's baffled expression is priceless.
** Earlier in the episode, Jack is ranting at someone for covering a recently discovered body with a blanket, as it could destroy evidence. Then, when he and Nikki pull back the blanket, they see (and smell) the [[GoryDiscretionShot state of the body]] and he swiftly agrees to put the blanket back on.
** In Part 2 of "Squaring the Circle", Nikki, suspicious of DI Sarah Parks' intentions, asks Jack how well he knows her. Jack, who had slept with Sarah the night before despite not having known her very long, can only respond with a drawn out "Umm"...And Nikki ''immediately'' figures it out anyway.
** Pretty much any time [[DeadpanSnarker Clarissa]] is on-screen. In her very first scene, she's being followed around the Lyell Centre by a security guard, to whom she insistently states "I'm not lost. Do I look lost?", Jack having not told Leo she was coming. After she has a snark-laden conversation with Leo, Jack finally comes running in and tries to salvage the situation, stating "Did I mention Clarissa?" She then gets to explain she's Jack's lab partner, or rather, she states she's there to "[make] him look clever." She then sighs and adds "I don't always succeed."
** During an autopsy in the second part of "In A Lonely Place", Nikki discusses her theory that the killer is a misogynist that enjoys terrorising and killing women due to his own feelings of inadequacy. One of the detectives, who has been kind of a dick to her and Jack up to this point, seems unconvinced, drily remarking that she's "Quite the profiler, for a pathologist." Without changing her expression, Nikki remarks that she's "picked up a few things over the years. [[TakeThat Mostly from guys like you]]." After [[{{Beat}} an awkward silence]], the detective clears his throat and asks her to continue.
** Jack and Chrissy's sniping at each other in "Trust".
*** Whilst inspecting two bodies found in a basement, Jack suggests it could've been a suicide pact. Chrissy snarkily asks "A ''naked'' suicide pact where both women end up under plastic?" Jack simply snarks right back that "[[Franchise/SherlockHolmes Sherlock]] would've explained it."
*** Whilst discussing motives for the killing, Chrissy suggests sex, stating that when it comes to regrets, sex tends to be high on the list...whilst maintaining direct eye contact with Jack. His expression smacks of 'Did you ''really'' just go there?'
*** When it's discovered one of the victims was poisoned with pufferfish venom, Jack suggests "evil sushi chefs" as one of the potential culprits. Chrissy is not amused.
** The ridiculously cheery, bright yellow scrubs Harry dons in one episode.
** Although it's a serious moment, whilst arguing over one of her cases being compromised with Thomas and a higher-up, Nikki, irritated no one is listening to her side, asks "Does the 'little woman' get a say?" The higher-up immediately yells "NO!" before turning back to Thomas to continue lecturing him. It's so blatantly sexist and Nikki's annoyance and disbelief are so palpable, [[CrossesTheLineTwice it just ends up being funny]].
** In "Commodity", Jack gets in trouble for 'threatening' a detective during a disagreement (the detective actually blew it out of proportion) and he is ordered to apologise. Jack reluctantly swallows his pride and prepares a whole speech about how he's 'not angry just passionate', which Thomas pre-approves. Then, when the meeting actually occurs, Jack only gets as far as "I'm sorry" before Thomas cuts him off with a cheery "Now that's settled" before chewing out the detective for being uncooperative. Jack's baffled expression is priceless.
** Earlier in the episode, Jack is ranting at someone for covering a recently discovered body with a blanket, as it could destroy evidence. Then, when he and Nikki pull back the blanket, they see (and smell) the [[GoryDiscretionShot state of the body]] and he swiftly agrees to put the blanket back on.
