* DyingClue: Will [=LaMontagne=] Sr. was struck on the head during Hurricane Katrina, and lived just long enough to carve 'Jones' on the wall before he died. His son initially thought it was the suspect's name, but eventually realizes it's actually the name of a bar where she was raped.

* TheOnlyOneITrust: The BAU are certain that the [=UnSub=] is sending letters to Will [=LaMontagne=] Sr. for a particular reason. It eventually turns out he was the only one who believed her when she said she was raped. Tellingly, the revelation that he's dead causes her to break down.

* DoubleStandard: Most male [=UnSub=]s get very little sympathy despite their DarkAndTroubledPast that caused them to kill innocent people. Sarah is treated as the primary victim in the case with the innocent men she murdered as merely some sort of collateral damage on the way to finding her and getting her the help she needs; the local detective that had been working the case actually ''hugs her'' as she's pulled off her latest bleeding target.

* MenAreTheExpendableGender: Unlike most episodes (even ones where men are being preyed on by men), the victims in this case are given very little humanization... most of them don't even get names, they're treated more as crime scene evidence like a shell casing or a blood smear than victims. Ultimately their deaths are treated as more of a tragedy that belongs to Sarah because of what happened to her than one of lost lives.

* IronicEcho: On a broader level, Sarah's entire MO... the bad cop and her rapist claimed that she was eager for sex and lured an innocent man into debauchery. This becomes her method of luring actually innocent men to their deaths. The more typical version occurs when she's torturing one of her victims, and echoes back some of the misogynist rhetoric that was said to her.
