Coroner / int_48463e95	type	Not the First Victim
Coroner / int_48463e95	comment	Not the First Victim: The later part of season one has Detective McAvoy dealing with Gerald Henry Jones, a wealthy banker whom McAvoy arrested several years earlier for murdering Floyd Shipman, whose case is being reopened. He meets with Shipman's daughter, who reveals to him her theory that Jones is in fact a serial killer, due to there being four other unsolved murders that occurred in the same area where her father was killed. Whilst McAvoy is initially sceptical (not least because he remembers how difficult it was to convict Jones of a single murder), the resulting investigation not only proves her right, but establishes that Jones is far more prolific than anyone imagined, having slaughtered people all over Ontario — with Shipman being his twenty-third victim. His first victim, as Jenny eventually discovers, was none other than his own father who Jones stabbed to death whilst in his teens.

Only for Jones to reveal his father never gave him anything and that it was himself who whittled it, years later using the same Chisel to kill his father and all his other victims.

Averted, though, as it's actually the family pet from when she was a little girl — her father shot it but she has repressed her memory of this, in addition to repressing her memory of accidentally causing the death of her sister.

Coroner / int_6b05b601	comment	Jerkass Has a Point: In "No Justice No Peace", Detective West is an obviously racist cop who is clearly this particular episode's Lestrade. However, given the very strong circumstantial evidence against Ross — he's found in the same room as the Victim of the Week, he's wearing bloodstained clothes, he claims to have no memory of what happened and he has in his possession a bloodstained screwdriver that fits the description of the murder weapon — West surely has no choice but to arrest him on suspicion of murder.

Coroner / int_7fbb2a3	comment	Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Jenny's public announcement that all of Ian Peterson's old cases will be reopened leads to a rush of appeals against previous convictions. Among them is Gerald Henry Jones, who was convicted of murdering a vagrant but, as Peterson had worked on his case, he gets to go free. Turns out he's a serial killer — McAvoy was only able to nail him for one of the many murders he committed — and once he's out, it's not long before he kills again.

Coroner / int_8c55e307	comment	Ultimate Job Security: Jenny manages to escape punishment (as far as the audience is aware) for taking a gun from the examining room safe and leaving it in her desk drawer. Granted, she was sleepwalking at the time and so didn't do it deliberately, but it's still a serious breach of regulations. Later on, she tries to interfere when her son becomes a murder suspect, even though she is told she has to recuse herself from the investigation as it's an obvious conflict of interests. Again, she faces no disciplinary procedures that we know of.

The head of Surmount (a major support group for individuals who had a near-death experience), Tim Whitman, always wears a stylish silver mask, officially to cover up scars he received following a near-fatal fall whilst mountain climbing. However, as Jenny and Donavon realise, the real Tim was murdered years ago, and the present leader of Surmount is a con artist who is impersonating him. This is confirmed in the climax when Donavon manages to fight him off and his mask slips, revealing his intact face.

In "The Flipside", John Fernandes, the main character from the show, appears to Jenny while she's asleep and helps her solve a case, although she doesn't figure out who he is, or even that she was actually asleep at the time, until the end of the episode. Bonus points for the show being named as a tribute to a real-life consultant on Coroner who had died.
