Quote #7

"You two can do whatever you like. Risa and I broke up this morning. Should I turn off the light when I leave?" (3.24.24)

Connor is lying to Roland in order to eliminate a bit of his power over he and Risa, but Connor doesn't clue Risa in to this little bit of deceit. She takes this as a personal slight and holds it against him for a while. While if he hadn't done it, she and Connor might be in danger, we also get not being thrilled that he didn't openly defend her in such a scary moment.

Quote #8

That little monster conned him! He got him to open the safe, and the moment he did, he knocked him out and cleaned out the safe. (4.26.45)

Lev is deceitful from the very beginning, but he's refreshingly honest about his intentions to betray Connor and Risa. This moment, however, marks a transition as he starts deceiving—and hurting—other people.

Quote #9

Once again, Risa thinks she'll never see Lev again. Once again, she'll be wrong. (5.36.79)

The narrator clues us in here that Lev had an ulterior motive for taking the Alaskan pipeline job. Would you have guessed if you hadn't been told at this point?
