I've been watching Season Seven again. Watching all the episodes in order in a short space of time made me see that Season Seven was full of reoccurring themes.
1. Abandonment
This was a biggie. A lot of the doers killed to avoid abandonment
Grace killed Darcy so she wouldn't abandon her with her new love
Cal killed Nash so he wouldn't abandon him with his new contract
Chandra killed Billy so he wouldn't abandon her
Alice killed Donalyn so Meesha wouldn't abandon her
Darren killed Luke so he wouldn't abandon him and the forensics team
Victoria killed Mike so he wouldn't abandon her
Lance killed Mick so he wouldn't abandon the wrestling team
2. Young people with talent
So many cases of young people with an extraordinary talent being murdered. Actually, it seems like an awful lot of victims were teenagers.
Nash was a talented skateboarder
Billy was a talented musician
Donalyn was a talented rapper
Luke was a talented debater
Tommy was a talented ice hockey player
Carlos was a talented graffiti artist
Mia was a talented acrobat
Mick (although not as young) was a talented wrestler
It wasn't just that they were good, a lot of the characters emphasized how the victims excelled at their field.
3. Drugs
This one wasn't as obvious, but it seems that almost every episode involved drugs in some way. Either someone was an addict, or they were a dealer.
In the final two episodes we get Lilly abandoning Chris (and remembering Paul's abandonment of them both), then Lilly saving a drug addicted Chris.
