* AdaptationDeviation: This episode is only loosely adapted from the original series episode "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS3E83DeadMansShoes Dead Man's Shoes]]". In the original, the spirit of murdered gangster Dane takes over the body of homeless bum Nate Bledsoe when he puts on his shoes, and aims to exact revenge on his treacherous partner Bernie Dagget, who had him killed when he took over their club. In this version, the spirit of murdered socialite Susan Montgomery takes over the body of shy thrift shop employee Maddie Duncan when she puts on ''her'' shoes, in order to exact revenge on her husband Kyle, who pushed her off his balcony.

* GenderFlip: Maddie is possessed by the spirit of a murdered woman named Susan when she puts on her expensive high heels. In the original episode "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS3E83DeadMansShoes Dead Man's Shoes]]", murdered gangster Dane's spirit takes control of a homeless man named Nate Bledsoe when he puts on his two-tone black and white shoes.

* EldritchLocation: Even though the Lost and Found Emporium is a place for people to regain things they've lost, it demonstrates a great deal of anomalous phenomena, such as heads in jars that stare at potential customers, objects that come alive without warning, walls that disappear and reappear, and its entrance keeps changing location several times in the span of minutes.

* {{Determinator}}: Susan is determined to seek revenge on Kyle for murdering her. Her spirit survives in her shoes, which allows her to take over the body of whoever puts them on. Although Susan fails to kill Kyle while in control of Maddie, she later succeeds in doing so after a maid finds them in the trash and puts them on.

* KilledOffscreen: Susan finally gets to shoot Kyle when she takes over a neighbor's maid, indicated by a gunshot played over a view of the mansion.
* LaserGuidedKarma: The ending has Susan finally killing Kyle by possessing the body of a neighbor's maid. We only see the exterior of the mansion and hear the shot, but it's easy to put two and two together.

->"As we walk through life, if we learn nothing else, we learn the only sure things are death and taxes. Well, one out of two isn't bad. And haven't we all said "You can't take it with you"? Another comforting adage without exceptions in the real world, that somehow goes all wonky when considering exit lines, delivered -- in the Twilight Zone."

->"There is a place where everything that's ever been lost can be found again. A place where lost hopes, lost dreams, lost chances wait for someone to reclaim them. But before you can find them, first ''you'' must become lost -- in the Twilight Zone."

->"You won't find it in the Yellow Pages, or advertised in the local papers. Its reputation is spread purely by word-of-mouth, from one satisfied customer to another. But if, like most of us, you've lost something in your time, look for this door. And if you don't find it at first, don't lose hope, because even ''that'' can be found again -- in the Twilight Zone."
