 Wild Cards (2024) / int_101500e
comment
Beneath Notice: Invoked in "Dead of Night" by an assistant on a TV show summing up how "I'm everywhere and nowhere, I'm invisible." She even claims that someone recited their credit card number right in front of her with no idea she could use it. This naturally makes her a suspect for being the stalker/murderer of the cast, but she has an alibi: She was using her lack of attention to get photos of the series finale's script and sell them online.

Daddy's Girl: Max loves her father more than anything else in the world, and the ending of the premiere suggests that the real reason she's so eager to work with Cole is to somehow arrange for her dad to escape prison.

Engineered Public Confession: In "Show Me the Murder," Max tricks the killer into wearing a wire, fixing the wiring so he thinks it's off and realizing too late he's confessed to murdering his partner to an entire MMA audience. "Dead of Night" has the group setting up the cast of the vampire TV show to head to a part of the set and tricked into confessing how they were covering up accidentally killing a woman in a hit and run.

Batman Gambit
 Wild Cards (2024) / int_38d02d44
comment
Batman Gambit: In "Inside (Con)Man", as Tracey is taken out of the bank to serve as a human shield for Derek and Ben's getaway, Max advises her to pretend like she's having a contraction and drop to her knees, so that the cops will panic and shoot the robbers. The purpose of this advice is twofold; one, it causes Ben and Derek to be disarmed, but also, because they know Tracey isn't actually pregnant, they'll think that she sold them out and thus testify against her to avoid taking the full rap for the robbery, which was her idea.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold
 Wild Cards (2024) / int_4781adbb
comment
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: The denouement for the pilot reveals that Max's robbery at the beginning of the episode was not just her trying to rip off a rich lady; Carmen Pallione was holding an immigrant, Maria, hostage by locking up her passport. Max robbed her in order to retrieve the passport, and also to expose a plot by Mrs. Pallione to defraud her insurers by faking the robbery of an expensive piece of jewelry. The second episode reveals sports agent and murder victim, Jake Boshep to be this. He's described by many to be a ruthless asshole, but when he learned of Bill's intention to have Summer Lake fight in a MMA bout while hiding her serious heart condition, he is consumed by guilt and remorse due to this happening before with a prior client who died as a result. He apologizes to his ex-wife, transfers money to the family of said late client, and threatens to blow up Bill's plan by telling Summer about her condition, which in turn, gets him killed by Bill.

comment
Friendless Background: Neither Cole nor Max have many friends before being paired off together. Max grew up with parents who traveled around a lot and was often kept sheltered and home-schooled to keep her safe from their enemies, while Cole's friends are mostly inherited from his late brother and he doesn't hang out with them much because they just remind him of his brother.

Wounded Gazelle Gambit
 Wild Cards (2024) / int_567e7c4d
comment
Wounded Gazelle Gambit: "Dead of Night" has the cast of a vampire TV show hunted by a stalker with one getting his arms burned, another nearly dying of an allergic reaction and a third outright murdered. It turns out the four actors accidentally killed a woman and when one wanted to confess, they killed him. The "stalker" was an invention with the other actors deliberately putting themselves in harm's way to make the cops believe this "stalker" was the killer. In "Inside (Con)Man", bank robbers Derek and Ben are being aided by Tracy, Derek's foster sister, who nobody watches too carefully because she appears to be pregnant and thus they all assume she can't go very far.

Polyamory: In "Howl to Get Away With Murder" it turns out that the victim was seeing two women and a man, while they all knew about each other with them accepting this arrangement. Nonetheless, at first they're suspects because Cole thinks at least one possibly murdered him out of envy since he was going to end the relationship with all his partners and monogamously date another woman. This turns out to not be the case however.

Town with a Dark Secret: Played with in "Howl to Get Away with Murder", where Cole and Max see various occult paraphernalia around Sanford and find a trio of animal hearts in Lucas Mays' trailer and assume that his death had something to do with the occult. This is false; Sanford actually does have a dark secret, but it's much more mundane - the local wine merchant, Harlan Sanford, has been passing off cheap wines as "lost" vintages in order to charge higher prices, and when Lucas Mays accidentally found out about the fraud, he murdered Mays to cover it up.

Another of the characters in "Show Me Murder" is Summer Lake, a female MMA fighter who's olive-skinned, though her ethnicity is unclear.

No Social Skills: One of the things preventing Cole from returning to his old beat is the fact that he's awful at dealing with people.

Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Cole is really not happy about getting stuck with Max, especially since he might lose his job if she's caught committing any crimes while they're on a case.

Freudian Excuse
 Wild Cards (2024) / int_c868a42a
comment
Freudian Excuse: In "Eternal Sunshine of the Therapized Mind", Ellis is forced to confront why he has so much difficulty giving up his cop habits - his father was a cop, and encouraged him to follow in his footsteps, and thus he learned from an early age to associate his sense of self-worth with his job. For an added kicker, his brother Daniel was born after a heart attack forced his father to take time off from his job, and thus Daniel was not subjected to the same parenting style, becoming more open and sensitive.

False Confession
 Wild Cards (2024) / int_db015585
comment
False Confession: In "Eternal Sunshine of the Therapized Mind" at the funeral of a famous therapist a former patient spontaneously confesses he'd killed her, and repeats the confession several times at the police station. However, it becomes obvious by the fact he won't give more detail and just says the exact same thing that he's been hypnotized to say this. The actual killer turns out to be another therapist who'd made him do this to throw off the investigators.

Spotting the Thread: Max's con artist skills allow her to spot details such as how a woman rubbing her hands a certain way is proof she was having an affair with a murder victim.

Accidental Murder: In "Eternal Sunshine of the Therapized Mind", Joan accidentally killed Dr. Fernwood when, during a fight, she threw a book at her head. The book hit her at just the right angle to knock her backwards, causing her to smash her head against the edge of her pool, killing her.
