When Malcolm is assaulted by a group of homophobic goons after meeting with one of Jeri's business partners at a gay bar, Trish makes the save, using the powers of Simpson's magic inhaler to beat the living snot out of the men.

Amusingly, she scratches one of the men in the face, leaving behind a bloody claw-mark that is nothing if not a cheeky nod to her comic book superhero moniker Hellcat, where she's kitted out with retractable claws.

That may be the most blatant hint at Trish's future potential, but there were a few other keen hints throughout the series also: she picks up "feline distemper vaccine" on a trip to the vet's, and when she's revived in the season finale, a nurse mentions that she's used up two of her nine lives. Subtle, right?
