*spoilers* The whole premise is that David is stalking Lucien around the country. It's not portrayed in a traditional sense and it's relatively subtle (ie: just no traditional stalking tropes) but Lucien's mother does clarify that David has been stalking Lucien

All of the men in the new vision group use drugs so they can write better. It’s seen pretty often and in the beginning of the film.

Closeup of needle being inserted in someone’s wrist area, cut between a few other scenes in a b-roll type of thing.

It’s towards the ending right around the time Allen picks up that guy from the bar.

Edie makes a comment about being used for sex after Jack told her to shut up and refused to marry her.

Two characters share a kiss followed by one of them pretending it didn't happen.
