* JerkassBall: Puck, a known JerkWithAHeartOfGold, has a grip on this due to the Inner Demon's control over him, taunting everyone he antaginizes throughout the chapter.

-->'''Boscha:''' (''catching her breath'') Is that... what you're calling it?"

* HorrifyingTheHorror: The Inner Demon can only scream right before Ms. Traveler forces him out of Puck's mind, the last thing we see of this scene being her IcyBlueEyes practically on fire.

** The Clawthornes discover that Puck is alive and under the Inner Demon's control, informing Ms. Traveler and Kitsuni.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: The Inner Demon falls for this twice. First, he has Puck reclaim Camila as his shadow only for her to encourage Puck to break free of his control, then he destroys Puck's portal in front of Luz to make her lose hope of bringing her girlfriend and her friends home but this leads to Boscha giving Luz come backup.

** Threatening Bo was actually Gavin's idea, not Bria's. And Gus and Eileen were threatened as well.

* DrivenToSuicide: Ultimately narrowly subverted. The Inner Demon drives Boscha to commit suicide since her mother and boyfriend are in jail and convinces her her friends don't care about her. She jumps off the roof at Hexaide, but Luz saves her at the last second and brings her to her senses.

** Averted with Luz and Puck: while they make amends for how things ended between them, both of them need time to see if they can forgive the latter for his actions under the Inner Demon's control.

** Threatening Bo was actually Gavin's idea, not Bria's.

* TheUnReveal: How did Puck paralyze Boscha: did he use some paralysis method or did she actually freeze from fear?

* TheCameo: Several characters appear when the parties at Hexside are confronted by their gears:

* {{Manchild}}: Namedropped. Camila calls the Inner Demon one of these when she holds Demon-Puck back from going after Luz and Boscha, which helps them clock him off the roof. Eda also implies that Faust is one.

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: During Luz's face off with Demon-Puck, the latter claims that Puck is too far gone, Luz counters it by asking why he didn't kill Amity, Gus, and Willow when he had the chance. This caused Demon-Puck to hesitate.
* ButNowIMustGo: After everything he's done since being revived, Puck decides to leave the Boiling Isles once and for all. Luz wonders if that means she and Amity will never see him again, but he leaves when she turns his back on him without answering her.

* TheUnReveal:
** How did Puck paralyze Boscha?

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Upon being freed from the Inner Demon's control, Puck himself is horrified remorseful for everything he's done since his revival.

*** Death in general is temporary for a Fae as long as their soul is intact. However, they can suffer LaserGuidedAmnesia, SanitySlippage or it just takes longer. If the soul isn't intact, the Far either doesn't come back or goes insane.

* WhamEpisode: Puck is revealed to have been possessed by the Inner Demon since his revival and is nearly used to destroy Hexside with several of Luz's friends, Boscha is saved from committing suicide and makes peace with Luz, Bo realizes that Gavin and Angmar messed with Matt, Puck gives Luz the portal key and informs her that Eve's on Earth before leaving the Isles permanently (but not without making peace with Luz and asking her to pass on an apology to Amity), Grimhilde claims the shrunken head of Dr. Facilier, and Matt finishes the portal door, so the Clawthornes prepare to use it to enter the Human Realm. [[SomethingWeForgot Oh]], and Faust expels Horace who's completely disappeared.

* FaceYourFears: Demon-Puck uses knives in their duel but despite her PTSD acting up and her continuously getting cut, Luz fights on. It ends up [[TheDogBitesBack inspiring Boscha to help her, standing up to both the Fae who hurt her twice and the mind demon who's been messing with her head]].

** Luz also makes amends with Puck, both of them forgiving one another for their last conversation and the latter's actions under the Inner Demon's control.

* {{Manchild}}: Namedropped. Camila calls the Inner Demon this when she holds Demon-Puck back from going after Luz and Boscha, which helps them clock him off the roof.
