History Recap / HavenS4E11ShotInTheDark

Nathan, Audrey, and Duke arrive at the building and fill Jennifer in. Dwight, Seth, and Anderson arrive. Seth turns on his device and it starts beeping, but he realizes the signal is coming from Jennifer and it has an opposite charge from the monster. Audrey notices she is holding "Unstake My Heart" and asks her to put it down. When she does, the readings stop, and they start again when she holds it again. Audrey checks the book and confirms it is the same copy Agent Howard took from her, and figures there must be something special about it. Jennifer jokes that it is unlikely because she has read it and it is even ''worse'' than ''Literature/{{Twilight}}''.

* TakeThat: Jennifer thinks ''Unstake My Heart'' makes ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' look like Creator/WilliamFaulkner.

* SadlyMythtaken: Seth insists that the rougarou is a creature from "ancient folklore" that used to be men, but are now wolves, and who "feed on the hearts" of humans. Which, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rougarou according]] to Wiki/TheOtherWiki, is only vaguely in the realm of correct. They're part of Cajun mythology, so definitely ''not'' "ancient," and they are similar to werewolves, but they don't eat hearts, they suck blood. This could be explained by Seth just being bad at his job, but there isn't any other explanation given in the episode to contradict it.

* WrongGenreSavvy: Seth clearly thinks he's in an episode of ''Series/TheXFiles,'' as he accuses Dwight and Nathan of a "conspiracy" to hide the existence of a supernatural creature from the rest of the world, and threatens to expose said conspiracy. At the end of the episode, Nathan attempts to express his gratitude for Seth and Anderson helping them get ride of the "rougarou," and Seth expresses his discomfort, saying he isn't comfortable "being praised by the men in black."

** Duke thinks the Child of Ruin prophecy sounds like a creepy Music/LedZepplin lyric.

* AssuranceBackfire: Downplayed. Jennifer asks Duke how he feels about "dating Hermione" in the wake of finding out she's connected to the book, and Duke tries to reassure her that everyone has their character flaws. He offers up the fact that he snores when he drinks red wine. Jennifer immediately agrees he does, and "very loudly."

* WrongGenreSavvy: Seth clearly thinks he's in an episode of ''Series/TheXFiles,'' as he accuses Dwight and Nathan of a "conspiracy" to hide the existence of a supernatural creature from the rest of the world, and threatens to expose said conspiracy.

Late one night, Seth Bryne, the host of Internet ghost-hunting show ''Darkside Seekers'', and Anderson Harris, the cameraman, arrive in Haven. They start filming, and Seth accidentally trips over a trash can. Seth starts over and talks about rumors that supernatural activity occurs in Haven and they are there to find out the truth. He comments that the authorities and newspapers always cover it up by claiming it was a gas leak or something, but he can tell they are hiding something. They hear a woman scream from a nearby house and investigate. A gadget Seth carries, which looks like something out of ''Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}}'', starts beeping, and Anderson gets scared and asks if this is for real. They nervously enter the house and find the place torn up, with massive claw marks on the walls. Seth tries to look around, and a massive, furry creature that resembles a werewolf attacks them. They run out of the house, screaming.

* TheRealSpoofbusters: PlayedWith. Seth and Anderson are clearly modeled on something like ''Series/GhostHunters,'' which makes sense for the time period in which this episode aired, but their equipment and the seriousness at which they take their job come straight from ''Series/Ghostbusters.''

** Duke starts freaking out after it's revealed the creature might be after Jennifer, and Nathan tells him he can remain part of the investigation if he can "keep it together." This is basically the inverse of the conversation Nathan and Duke had when Audrey was [[Recap/HavenS3E1ThreeHundredOne kidnapped,]] though Nathan, per usual, does not recognize his [[AlwaysSaveTheGirl own]] [[MoralMyopia hypocrisy.]]
** Jennifer pulls out a copy of ''Unstake My Heart,'' which has [[Recap/HavenS1E1WelcomeToHaven been]] [[Recap/HavenS2E1ATaleOfTwoAudreys seen]] before.

** Duke starts freaking out after it's revealed the creature might be after Jennifer, and Nathan tells him he can only come along to hunt it if he can "keep it together," is similar to the conversation they had in "301" but with the roles reversed. Nathan, of course, does not hear his [[MoralMyopia own hypocrisy.]]
