* EstablishingCharacterMoment: This is the first episode, so there are many, but especially:
** Mary Magdalene wakes up with blood on her hands. Then we see a young man running through the street crying for help, saying that she tried to kill him, and that demons live inside her.
** Matthew's home, wardrobe, grooming, and servants show his wealth. He is so squeamish that he carries a spare set of very expensive sandals so he can change soiled footwear. Yet he pays a man who doesn't want to be seen with him to hide him in the back of his cart and drive him to his destination.

!! This episode provides examples of:
* DroppingTheBombshell: Mary Magdalene is stopped dead in her tracks when Jesus, a complete stranger to her at this time, calls her by her real name. He then quotes Isaiah 43:1, which was part of a cherished memory of her father and was something of a MadnessMantra for her to try to stave off her demonic possession. He is not only revealing that He knows her, but that He gave those words to Isaiah.
* Flashback: Mary Magdalene's childhood, when her father points out a bright new star to her, and then comforts her nighttime fears by reminding her of the words of Isaiah 43:1.
* IncurableCoughOfDeath: The opening flashback to Mary Magdalene's childhood, where her father is shown to have a nasty cough. About halfway through the episode, another flashback confirms to the audience that he died not long afterward.
* InterruptedSuicide: Mary Magdalene is on the verge of jumping from a cliff before she's startled by a bird and follows it back to town, where she meets Jesus and is healed of her possession.
* MadnessMantra: The words of Isaiah 43:1 become this to Mary Magdalene as she fights to stave off her demonic possession.
* VoiceOfTheLegion: When Mary Magdalene is possessed by demons, she speaks with several voices at the same time.
