Moving to The Owl Service


* GainaxEnding: ''The Owl Service'' ends with a young girl who had been possessed by an incredible supernatural force [[spoiler:converting that force from anger - "owls" to peace - "flowers"]]. However, everything else about the characters' relationships (which have been totally wrecked) is left unresolved.
* TheGhost: Margaret, the mother of Alison in ''The Owl Service''. Many of the events pan out as the characters try desperately to keep her happy, but she never appears in the book. Similarly occurs in the TV series, to the extent that you see parts of her clothing and even hear her play piano in the same room, but never actually hear or see her.



* LukeIAmYourFather: In ''The Owl Service'', Gwyn has just found proof that Huw, the mad gardener, [[LoveMakesYouEvil killed]] his mother's lover Bertram and [[YouKilledMyFather accuses Huw of killing his father]]. Huw then reveals that he is Gwyn's father.
