* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:Runs in front of a truck to keep John from finding out the truth.]]
* CreepyChild: Like all the Countess's children, Wren tends to speak in a CreepyMonotone and comes across as distinctly off-putting.
* DrivenToSuicide:

** The Countess keeps a hidden gamesroom at the Cortez for the [[CreepyChild vampire children]] she's adopted over the decades; stocked to the gills with video game consoles and candy dispensers, the kids can spend their days having as much fun as they like. The only downside of the place is that the kids are regularly siphoned for blood as a contribution to their "mother's" private stash, usually prompting them to get hungry and [[BreakingAndBloodsucking go hunting for guests who haven't locked their doors]]. Fortunately, it's not usually dangerous... up until John's daughter [[ChildrenAreInnocent Scarlett]] pays a visit - and nearly gets eaten by one of the kids. [[spoiler: Said kid is actually Holden, her long-lost brother.]]
** Later in the season, the Countess is revealed to be concealing another, even more secluded nursery at the hotel. [[spoiler: In this case, it's an actual nursery for [[UndeadChild her biological son]], complete with a crib - as he hasn't aged at all since his birth. It's even creepier than the gamesroom, especially since it's kept dark at all times and little Bartholomew isn't above attacking uninvited guests.]]

* {{Transgender}}: The flashback depicting her first meeting with the Countess had the Countess note that Liz (then called Nick) smells like a woman -- not from any perfume, but in her actual blood and heart. Hearing her say this brought Nick to tears. With the Countess's help, Nick ultimately embraced her feminine identity as Liz Taylor and began dressing and identifying as female in public.
