** [[AvertedTrope Averted]] when Nadja suggests that the main trio "could do shots" off of drunk humans. Granted, she did so reluctantly (the Baron was already "doing shots"), but it proved to be an unwise decision in the end.

* VomitIndiscretionShot: Turned UpToEleven during the pizza scene. Previous episodes (and the original movie) established that eating human food will cause a vampire to vomit blood profusely... but when the Baron does it, he's ''propelled through the air'' by the force of his own vomit for about thirty seconds before crash-landing. This may have been due to garlic in the pizza pie...'?

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Colin Robinson does not try to feed off of the Baron, showing how intimidating the Baron is.
** Colin Robinson knows something's wrong when the other vampires wax affectionate about how much they missed him.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: The Baron is slightly burned by the garlic in the pizza, and [[VomitIndiscretionShot what follows next]] is typical of vampires eating food, but he doesn't die of it. In fact, the Baron thinks it was worth it.

* RegalRuff: The Barron's idea or normal, blending-in clothes was an ornate padded doublet and not one but ''two'' ruffs. Apparently the two ruffs triggered Laszlo's gaydar because "Where I come from, two ruffs means you're [[ExtremeOmnisexual up for anything!]]"

** The series' official Twitter account claims the moral of the episode was [[https://twitter.com/theshadowsfx/status/1123822124534255616 "about the perils of staying up late"]]. They [[LampshadeHanging lampshade]] how [[HypocriticalHumor hypocritical]] that message is, given that their show airs at 10 at night.

* UpperClassTwit: Despite being one of the most esteemed vampires in the world, the Baron is ''incredibly'' out of touch. He states that they are all vampires out loud with no comprehension of subtlety, he thinks that a stress doll is a talisman, he openly discusses who the people around them will be slaves in the new world order and he, on a whim, decides to drink the blood of a drunk man and winds up drunk himself.

* WomenAreWiser: Nadja is the only vampire to think plotting to kill the Baron is bad, and that [[TooDumbToLive disclosing the plot to kill the Baron to the Baron]] is a bad idea. [[SubvertedTrope The Baron thinks it's hilarious, though.]]

* HiddenDepths: The Baron admits that he had always wanted children, but could not due to his [[NonhumansLackAttributes lack of genitalia]]. Not only that, but he admits that even ''he'' is not entirely convinced on the whole "killing and enslavement for the supremacy of vampires" thing, having sobered up after being DrunkOnTheDarkSide for a long time. He was even considering killing Nandor, Nadja and Laszlo [[GoingThroughTheMotions just for the hell of it despite the fact that it would not have given him satisfaction]].

* EvenEvilHasStandards: While they might casually feed upon and kill humans whenever it suits them, Laszlo, Nadja, and Nandor are taken aback by the Baron's behavior. Particularly, when he casually drains one of the documentary crew despite being under their protection, prompting them to reassure the rest of the crew that they'll try to keep them safe. They also quickly object when the Baron nearly kills their neighbor, Sean, upon bumping into him in the middle of their night on the town.
