Notes

* AccidentalMurder: Of Ugly the cat, but still. Martin crashes a stack of crates over the poor animal while stumbling through the alley, killing it. [[spoiler: Or so it looks. The cat is actually still alive and when Andy tries to call out Martin for killing the cat, Martin quickly realises the animal is still alive, so they both take it to the vet]].
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Celia's is, but she doesn't really mind ''that'' much. Martin is distant towards people, and the fact that their relationship is one hell of TheMasochismTango, means she never really gets any sort of reciprocation.
* BlackComedy: After a short stint of BlindDriving, Martin slams directly into the police cruiser trying to stop him, with Andy driving shotgun. When the officer angrily jumps to the driver's door, Martin instantly drops this bomb.
-->My eyes! I can't see!
-->[SmashCut to ER, since the police officer bought the lie]
* BrosBeforeHoes: Part of the reason why Celia feels jealous over Andy is feeling treated by Martin's attention and budging friendship with the man. [[spoiler: In the end, both Martin and Andy find out that they value their friendship more than any kind of interaction or relationship with Celia]].
* ClingyJealousGirl: Celia wants Martin just for herself. The second she realises Andy exists and Martin spends time with him, ignoring her even more, she starts plotting to get rid of him.
* TheConfidant: Andy becomes one to Martin, being a person Martin trusts without any issues, and thus being useful to describe Martin's photos.
* DoesntTrustThoseGuys: Thanks to his mother and the complicated relationship with her, Martin distrusts women on principle. No misogyny, just a deeply ingrained distrust of females.
* DontYouDarePityMe: Martin is perfectly fine with the fact he's blind, thank you very much. His relationship with Celia is also built on this: if he can pity her, she can't pity him, and that's fine for Martin.
* DoubleEntendre: Celia is describing to Martin the reason why Bill, his dog, is going missing in the park - in reality, it's Celia sneaking there, calling Bill and watching in delight Martin's futile struggle to call his dog back, while being obsessed with Martin herself.
-->It's probably a bitch... you know, a bitch in heat.
* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: [[DefiedTrope Nope]], including being called out on this. Celia is portrayed as an abusive monster when she effectively blackmails Martin to first go on a date with her and then forces him to go to bed with her. Did we mention Martin is blind, which she further uses against him?
* DriveInTheater: Andy takes Martin to one to "describe" things on screen. They are watching a SlasherMovie.
* HyperAwareness: Realistic variant with a man who was born blind and spent his entire life relying on other senses. Martin even discusses this with Andy, pointing out all the tiny details of the vet's waiting room or the fact how he operates in day-to-day life, using various cues (including even warmth of the sun rays) to navigate around.
* LoveMartyr: Celia's relationship with and to Martin is built on the fact she actually ''[[fetish enjoys]]'' being constantly rebuked.
* LoveTriangle: ZigZagged. [[spoiler: Celia seduces Andy, but not out of love or any actual feelings towards him. Instead, she wants to get him into as much trouble as possible to destroy the friendship between Andy and Martin. Martin, meanwhile, has a [[BelligerentSexualTension very messy]] relationship with Celia. He and Andy quickly become HeterosexualLifePartners. Andy, on his part, gets {{Honey Trap}}ped by Celia, but his feelings towards her are genuine, just like his friendship with Martin]].
* TheMasochismTango: The Martin-Celia relationship. She is clearly and obviously in love with him - except that she is also possessive, clingy and obsessive. He takes pleasure in the fact that he can ''deny'' her any kind of affection and be as independent from her as feasible, yet he keeps her as his housekeeper.
* MyBelovedSmother: Played with. Martin's mother wasn't evil or overbearing, but she did struggle with raising a blind child, and ''he'' perceived her as incredibly controlling and, much worse for him, untrustworthy and lying just to make him feel better.
* NotSoDifferentRemark: Celia, when trying to get Martin at ease with her, brings up that they are both lonely and both are motherless and that obviously makes them not so different, him and her. Of course, she is the only one to see it that way.
* NotWhatItLooksLike:
** [[spoiler: Ugly the cat is fine. And no, Martin isn't trying to troll Andy or guilt-trip him to get him to the vet despite how the cat looks like - the vet manages to get it up and going]].
** When left alone for a bit in a DriveInTheater, Martin gets bored and starts rummaging through Andy's car, while also "looking" directly in front of him. The guy in the next car thinks Martin is just staring directly into his car and his girlfriend. ''Then'' Martin picks up an entire leaf of condoms, trying to figure out what they are by touch, all in the view of the guy from the next car, who takes him for a pervert. Things escalate from there.
** In the end, Martin [[spoiler: shows up in the kitchen to say sorry to Celia and apologise to her for everything, smiling. She's pleasantly surprised, thinking she finally got everything she wanted... and then he just as happily fires her, finally finding courage to do so]].
* OddFriendship: A fiercely independent blind man and a street-smart working-class no-gooder.
* OperationJealousy: Why Celia starts to seduce Andy - she knows she will destroy the trust between him and Martin and thus get rid of him, getting Martin's full attention back.
* TheReveal: [[spoiler: Martin's mother wasn't lying - there was a man raking leaves by the birdbath. We only learn in the very finale, when Andy describes the photo closely to the way Martin's mother described the garden to him when he was a child]].
* RoomFullOfCrazy: After blackmailing Martin to come on a date with her, Celia eventually sits Martin in her living room. The camera pans out to show Martin, and the entire wall behind him is covered in dozens of his photos. Martin, being blind, never learns about this. [[spoiler: Much later, Andy ends up in this room and is both terrified and confused by what he sees, but that's also the moment he realises he was played the whole time by Celia]].
-->'''Celia''': I'm a bit of a photographer myself.
-->'''Martin''': Really? What do you photograph?
-->[The camera switches to show all the photos of Martin around him]
-->'''Celia''': Things I love.
* SimpleMindedWisdom: What Martin likes about Andy - he might be BookDumb, but he's still very perceptive, expressive and direct with his opinions, which is exactly the sort of qualities Andy is looking for to describe his photos.
* SingleTargetSexuality: Celia wants Martin, [[GreenEyedMonster all for herself]], and isn't interested in anyone else.
* ToyotaTripwire: Martin does this accidentally to Andy, while Andy is in a middle of a brawl.
* {{Troll}}:
** This is easily the most defining trait of Celia. In her EstablishingCharacterMoment, she deliberately puts objects in places for Martin to trip over (since he's blind, it's a big deal for stuff to be in fixed positions). She later trolls Any by "stealing" the attention of Bill the dog in the park, right when Andy was sure he's going to be LickedByTheDog.
** Martin himself gets the attention of a waitress by deliberately pouring himself half a bottle of wine on the table, raising the bottle way too high and missing the glass on purpose, only stopping when she's by his table. He instantly gives his order before she can say or do anything. To drive point home, he later expertly pours himself and Andy a glass of port, explaining to his friend how he does it without ever overfilling.
* TheVamp: Celia seduces Andy just to get back on Martin and destroy their friendship.

* trust issues: thanks to his mother, martin has pretty deep ones
