- secretly follow Luke around everywhere, intermittently moaning things about Vietnam, and convince him that he is being haunted by the evil ghost of his 84-year-old video game buddy
- stare down the camera as it very slowly zooms in on her face during an end-of-episode montage and mouth the words “you’re nextâ€
