* CastingGag: Creator/ElijahWood and Creator/DanielRadcliffe have long been compared to one another due to a slight physical resemblance and headlining the popular fantasy franchises ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'' and ''Film/HarryPotter'' respectively. In Danner's in-universe movie, Wood and Radcliffe finally act together. (And considering who they're playing, Wood gets to kill Radcliffe...)

* PoliceAreUseless: Played with. Sherrif Reardon seems way too eager to arrest Grace just on Isabel's say-so and puts down Danner as "playing policeman." He seems thick-headed ignoring Danner and Aniq's detailed theory of Ulysses committing the crime, but does raise the correct point that it's all conjecture with no solid evidence. All that said, once Vivian gets Ulysses to confess, Reardon is quick to arrest the guy and did give Danner and Aniq a chance to relate their theory, so it's less he's incompetent and more just a bit in over his head.

* ForYourOwnGood: His MotiveRant shows Ulysses truly believes Vivian is trapped in her marriage and he'd be doing her a favor freeing her for a life of excitement and romance, ignoring the tiny issue Vivian loves Feng more than she could ever love Ulysses.

* OnceMoreWithClarity: We see a few more flashbacks from the night showcasing how Ulysses had been trying to poison Feng. Notably, we see his reaction when he hears someone screaming, assuming it's Vivian finding Feng's dead body but it's actually Grace with Edgar's corpse. Also, Danner replays Feng's frantic video of being up all night to show he had taken the glass of "uppers" meant for Isabel.

* LaserGuidedKarma: After all his work pulling a scam to make more money off Edgar's death, Sebastian is rocked when ''Travis'' outwits him by getting his Reddit guys to buy up the cryptocurrency right after Sebastian sold it for 62 cents on the dollar. To top it off, Travis throws Sebastian's own words at him on "don't beat the house, become the house." So Sebastian ends up broke, fired and dumped.
