When Devereaux takes a stand and demand answers about the budget, standing beside the lake in a fake nose and glasses, he holds a goose by the throat, threatening to kill a duck a day until his department has a budget. This foreshadows someone taking advantage of his words.... the deaths of a number of ducks.... though not by Devereaux's hand.
