In the first season, Paul Briggs kills Juan Badillo and tricks several of his housemates into helping him cover it up.
In the second season, Mike Warren chooses to protect Sulla and his human trafficking operation because it's the only connection to the Solano Cartel left in California. His actions directly result in one of the girls being murdered. He then helps cover up the murder to prevent Paige from shutting the operation down.
Paige crosses it when she betrays Mike and tries to have him killed.
Spoiled by the Format: Really more a case of Spoiled By The Marketing. Since so much of the material (such as the poster on the main page) focus on the "core six" of Mike, Briggs, Charlie, Johnny, Paige, and Jakes, it made it pretty clear that Lauren and Donnie weren't gonna be around for very long.
The album
Overshadowed by Controversy: Despite the album's popularity, Simon received a lot of criticism for breaking the cultural boycott against South Africa's apartheid government, and this led to a decline of interest in worldbeat, as the Unfortunate Implications surrounding cultural appropriation by white artists like Simon became apparent. Notably, artists such as David Byrne and Peter Gabriel managed to escape these accusations after a short while due to their high levels of sociopolitical activism and open efforts to recognize and properly honor the cultures they take inspiration from, to the point of releasing works by other world music artists on their own record labels (Gabriel took things a step further with the creation of the WOMAD festival, meant specifically to increase the public presence of nonwestern artists in the Anglosphere). Simon, meanwhile, had nowhere near the same kind of reputation (Simon is a noted philanthropist, but isn't known as a politically active celebrity). Additionally, the Mexican-American rock band Los Lobos publicly accused Simon of stealing "All Around the World or The Myth of Fingerprints" from them — they had written the music and performed on the recording, but received no songwriting credit for the song.
Padding: By his own admission, Simon came up two songs short of a full album after he left South Africa, so he looked for complementary American genres to draw from and, recalling the use of the accordion as a key South African instrument, decided to go with the accordion-soaked styles of zydeco ("That Was Your Mother") and Latin American rock ("All Around the World or The Myth of Fingerprints") to complete the album.
