Frame-Up: The Big Bad has this as his M.O. Every time he commits a crime, he frames somebody he needs out of the way.

This Is Reality: Everybody, including Regan and Damico, voice their suspicions of the plot to point out that it sounds like a pulpy detective novel.

Friend to All Living Things: Leopold Kroner was so kind that he refused to go to a zoo because cooping up animals like that was cruel in his eyes.

Crusading Lawyer: Regan is not above personally barging into a high-end office to deliver a summons if he feels his letters are being ignored. His clients being pushed around is his Berserk Button.
