| Wild Card / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Abusive Parents: Melanie St. John, the titular focus of Season 2's first episode "A Felony for Melanie", is a business mogul and an old friend of Zoe's that's accused of murdering her ex-husband. She's also the actual culprit, who tries to frame her own son during the investigation because she was embarrassed by his homosexuality. | |

Absence of Evidence | |
| Wild Card / int_d4f5426 | comment |
Absence of Evidence: It's sometimes the key factor of a case, such as in "Blind in a Bind", when one piece of evidence is a tape that Zoe realizes is missing its cover, which helps them realize it was planted; furthermore, the client's seeing-eye dog was well-behaved the night of a break-in when it usually makes a ruckus if a stranger is nearby, which clues Zoe in that the culprit was someone the dog was familiar with. | |

Plot Allergy | |
| Wild Card / int_e064dc5a | comment |
The death by Plot Allergy in "Backstabbed" would have (and was intended to) just got the victim removed from the show for medical reasons, but turned fatal because his EpiPen was knocked behind a dresser while he slept with another contestant the night before. | |
