* TokenGoodTeammate: OnlySaneMan Arthur is this to the rest of Geoffrey's relatives. He's in no rush to get his inheritance, has little if any of the others snobbishness (evident in both in his behavior towards Emma and how he married Pauline in the first place) and decides to stop indulging his son after realizing that someday he'll be the new cviscouen Blackreaven and that he should learn responsibility. All of this makes it come across as kind of a blessing we don’t’ have to see him finding out about what his wife did.

* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Pauline is a complete and utter snob to everyone around her, even though she was a working class girl who married into a family with status, and is also usually reminded of this by her somehow less haughty but still horrible mother-in-law Sybil. She treats Emma (Jessica's British cousin) like pond scum and sounds insulted on a personal level at the idea of Emma inheriting anything from her old boyfriend Geoffrey, Pauline's uncle-in-law and the current Viscount Blackraven. [[spoiler: In fact, Pauline is so desperate to prove she's better than everyone else that she murdered Geoffrey and his father a month before, so her husband would become the new Viscount Blackraven. She even shot her own son (albeit without trying to kill him) to frame someone else. It all culminates in a horribly depressing VillainousBreakdown when she starts screaming at Sybil about how she has no idea what it's like to be treated like less than nothing for being "a baker's daughter." Pauline's breakdown and sobbing is so bad, it makes Sybil have a HeelRealization for how much of a bitch she's been, and leads her to apologize to Emma for her nastiness.]]

* OnlySaneMan: Geoffrey's nephew is the only member of the family who isn't threatened or disgusted by Emma's presence and keeps suggesting to Pauline that they let Geoffrey be happy.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Pauline takes to becoming Viscountess Blackraven like she just became the Queen of England. It's deconstructed when Pauline shows how horribly insecure she is after years of Sybil's abuse and desperately wanted to become Viscountess to prove her mother-in-law wrong.

!!This episode includes examples of the following tropes:
* ContinuityNod: The events of Emma's last appearance, [[Recap/MurderSheWroteS2E5SingASongOfMurder]], are mentioned when Geoffrey refers to Oliver and Kitty Trumbull.
* HeelRealization: Sybil has one for her obnoxious attitude when she sees how all the years spent treating her daughter-in-law like garbage for her working class background made the woman snap, and thus led to Pauline murdering Sybil's father and then Geoffrey so her husband could become the new Viscount Blackraven. Before bringing a sobbing Pauline back into the mansion, Sybil stops and apologizes to Emma for her horrible behavior.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: While she doesn't say anything, the sentiment is clearly etched on Sybil's face as she watches Pauline break down after years of emotional abuse.
* ThePowerOfLove: Emma's told that Geoffrey Constable has only a short time left before he dies, but once the two reconnect Geoffrey's health improves exponentially and his doctor no longer believes he's terminal. It's blatantly implied the rekindled relationship between Emma and Geoffrey has given the man a reason to live and a desire to actually ''want'' to feel better.
* SlobsVersusSnobs: Most of Geoffrey's family, specifically his sister Sybil and her daughter-in-law Pauline, treat Emma with nothing but contempt and consider her a GoldDigger after some of the family's wealth.
* TamperingWithFoodAndDrink: Geoffrey's killed when he consumes pickled herring that turns out to be poisoned.
