  • Alternate Character Interpretation: Harold. Interpretations of the ending can vary wildly depending on whether or not you view him as responsible for his actions or not. On the one hand, we see that he does have hallucinations that he seems to believe are real... on the other hand, his crimes show clear premeditation, and he hides them well enough to indicate that he knows other people would not approve.
  • Fridge Brilliance: When David (who is a doctor) casually meets Harold in the hospital waiting room with a nasty cut on his forehead after having suffered a car accident, he lets him jump the line saying that Celia wouldn't forgive him if Harold bled to death because that would deprive her of the chance to torture and kill him herself.
  • Love to Hate: Harold is a genuinely sweet, almost Adorkable old guy from the neighborhood, who at the same time is a completely deranged serial killer. It reaches the point when viewers can giddily watch Fullers' executing their Cold-Blooded Torture by the end of the episode without feeling bad for anyone.
