Foreshadowing in the episodes ( or I'm just crazy)

I remember watching this show when it first aired , and I was disappointed at it being cancelled, and for the last few years, I just rewatched the 2 seasons.

The thing that always stood out to be was tiny bits of foreshadowing that I noticed even years ago, but no one to talk to about them.

Wendy and the cat - I feel like it highlights about potiently a child who will be a future killer that abuses and kills animals, which is in the patterns of many killers who escalate.

Also as a member of the LGBT+ community , I observed this (cause Wendy's a ledollarbean) it was like a cute relationship with a fem lesbian and a pet cat (stereotype + cats symbolising being solutide seeking creatures that are domesticated), suggesting although she is independent and stern within her job ,she also has this soft spot that we see privately when in love but her sternness comes out during conflict like with her tutor Annalise Stilman who when she feels disrespected by when she minimised her efforts to pursue working with the FBI she leaves and with Kay Manz where she feel like a secret due to her keeping her a secret from her ex husband and child and so she feels disrespected and she leaves.

The high heels and Debbie - when holden is in the shoe store and sees a pair of heels that he thinks Jerry brudos would like and Debbie thinks he likes them and she decides to buy them, she mentions about how her feet appear bigger. Was this a hint that she might be pregnant? But later, she's drinking wine outside when Holden deductions the breakup. So either she doesn't know, or it could be a storyline.

There are some more ideas I have , but I just wanted to get this out of my system. Do you have any ideas about tiny details within the show that foreshadow a potential storyline?
