* AchillesHeel: Demons are vulnerable to true death while they're on Earth. They usually hide in vessels and are simply exorcised, but if caught outside a vessel they can be destroyed for good. This is what happened to Mallus, and what Constantine and Nora plan to do to Neron.

* AdultFear: Ava's personal purgatory is built on this, dredging up her insecurities about her and Sara's relationship and her self-worth issues. Sara's discomfort with commitment comes up as well. Beforehand, there is also Sara walking into Ava's place, which looks like a break-in or worse happened.



* BrutalHonesty: Constantine, as always, is pretty blunt. He tells Sara several times that Ava's chances of survival against Neron are pretty slim.



* DarkerAndEdgier: The whole episode has surprisingly little comedy and feels more like a ''Constantine'' episode.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: The way Neron thinks of Tabitha, it's easy to come to this conclusion.



* HannibalLecture: Neron is great at psychologically breaking people.



* InnocentlyInsensitive: Ray telling everybody that it is "good news" that Hank got killed by a demon. It was meant in a way that he is glaad Nora is innocent, but it comes across as quite tactless instead.

* ManlyTears: John, after Desmond leaves him.



* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Nate is immidiately remorseful after having punched Ray.
* MyGreatestSecondChance: After Nora is put into a coma, John vows that he will help save her and not abandon her again, like he did with her as a child.



* NotSoDifferent: Nora brings up the fact that both John and herself watched loved ones turning into demons, as a CallBack to what happened with Mallus and Damien.



* RevengeBeforeReason: Nate tries to confront Neron alone and almost accidentally frees him.

* AmbiguouslyBi: In-universe; Charlie is surprised to hear Zari offhandedly describe herself as straight.
-->'''Zari''': What is this, ''Legends Eye for the Straight Guy''?\\
'''Charlie''': You're straight?

Added DiffLines:

* FauxAffablyEvil: Neron is all charm while gloating about murdering Hank and describing his unholy plans. It's taken UpToEleven when he possesses Ray, losing none of Ray's NiceGuy demeanor while remaining the monstrous demon he's always been.
* HatePlague: Neron is a walking, talking, and really quite gleeful one. He causes multiple fights at his motel just by arriving, and his influence causes John and Nora to briefly be at each other's throats, and Nate to punch Ray, although the Legends being aware of his power allows them to get a grip on themselves before things go too far.


Added DiffLines:

* ManipulativeBastard: Neron tries to con Nora into releasing him by promising to resurrect her father. It seems to be working... except Nora (and Constantine) saw it coming a mile away, factoring Neron's manipulative tendencies and arrogant assumption that it'll work into their BatmanGambit.
* MoreThanMindControl: Neron claims that his HatePlague powers don't create conflict, but rather amplify negative emotions that are already there.


Added DiffLines:

* NothingIsScarier: Neron's demon cohort Tabitha never appears; we only get ominous warnings of her approach and the grim implications of what's going to happen if she possesses Ava.
* PoorCommunicationKills: John and Nora failing to inform Ray of their plan to banish Neron has some nasty consequences.


Added DiffLines:

* SkewedPriorities: In the midst of Sara fighting to save Ava's soul and John and Nora's attempts to defeat Neron, Mona, Charlie, and a reluctant Mick are counseling Zari on how to ask out Nate.
* UndyingLoyalty: Weird and vaguely creepy though it may be, Gary does everything in his power to ensure Ava's comfort while she's comatose.
