* YouAreWorthHell: After Isaac, the first suitor, is killed, Emily tries to talk Eli, the next in line to go after Frankie, out of the Maagd Zoektocht by claiming that it isn't worth it. Eli concedes that she probably has a point--but he thinks ''she's'' worth it, and if completing the quest is what will prove to her father that Eli is a worthy to marry her, then he'll gladly do it.

* StayInTheKitchen: Seems to be the male Weten Ogen's attitude towards Emily. Daniel Troyer lost his son, and rather than give Emily the family business, he decides to seek out three suitors who can marry her. When Emily goes to tell Eli not to go through with the Maagd Zoektocht, he brushes off her concerns and says that she should just worry about how to raise all the kids the two of them will have when everything is said and done. Subverted when we learn that Amos, the third suitor, is gay and does not care one way or the other about Emily, while Daniel is revealed to have set the whole thing up as a secret test for Emily.

* FairytaleMotifs: The episode takes elements from the Grimm story [[https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Grimm%27s_Household_Tales,_Volume_1/The_Three_Feathers "The Three Feathers."]] In the original tale, a king blows three feathers into the air and tells his sons to go and fetch them. The youngest one (who the others look down on as a fool) meets a talking toad who helps him in two other quests the king gives the sons, eventually earning himself a toad who becomes a princess whose hand he takes in marriage. The griffin statue Daniel Troyer (who, as a mob boss, is effectively a "king" of his business) has the three suitors pull feathers out of to see who goes first in the attempt to kill Frankie is a clear allusion to this tale.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: While Nick and Renard speak to Amanda Proctor about her son's death, Amanda woges in front of Nick upon learning that he's a Grimm. It doesn't seem to be too out of the ordinary, but the moment does establish that Weten Ogen look roughly the same, despite their sex. This already hints at the idea that the mysterious Weten Ogen that swoops in every time to save Frankie from one of the suitors may not be male at all. True enough, it later turns out ot be Emily herself saving Frankie's life.
