The devastating aftermath of the house fire at Lexy’s causes Jake to reevaluate his partnership with Chucky. In an attempt to outwit the murder doll, Jake has to team up with some unlikely allies.
Tropes in this episode include:
- Asshole Victim: The janitor of the orphanage, who snaps at Charles and tries to ruin his only pair of shoes just for tracking in mud on the freshly mopped floor.
- Big Sister Instinct: Lexy is both concerned for Caroline's recovery (which surprises her parents) and furious at Jake for giving her a homicidal doll. She later tries to protect the comatose Caroline from Chucky.
- Cruel and Unusual Death: Chucky murders the police detective by throwing a scalpel at his back, which he falls on, severing his spinal cord, and can only lie there as Chucky stabs him with used syringes.
- Facial Horror: Half of Chucky's face was burned off in the house fire.
- Flipping the Bird: The episode ends with Chucky flipping off Jake, Lexy, and Devon amidst the chaos in Caroline's hospital room.
- Freeze-Frame Bonus: The search results that appear after Devon Googles "Chucky Good Guy Doll Homicides".
- Full-Name Ultimatum: While chewing Lexy out for putting Caroline in danger, Lexy's mom refers to her as "Alexandra".
- Kick the Dog: Chucky endangers Caroline by unplugging her life support while she's lying helpless in a coma just out of sheer cruelty and spite.
- Meaningful Echo: When a young boy shows no fear around a dead body, a teenage Charles Lee Ray remarks, "You got guts, kid", which was the exact same thing the Hackensack Slasher told him after he killed his own mother.
- Murder by Inaction: Lexy points out that while Chucky murdered Oliver, Jake still gave Chucky to Caroline, knowing who he was, and is thereby just as responsible for Oliver's death.
- My God, What Have I Done?: Jake has this reaction after seeing numerous innocent kids at the hospital because of the fire in the previous episode. While most of them, including Junior and Devon, are relatively unscathed, Caroline is in a coma, and then he learns from Lexy that Oliver is dead.
- Never My Fault: While searching through the remains of her house, Lexy passive-aggressively lays into Jake that sending Chucky after her was Disproportionate Retribution and acts oblivious that her actions would upset him, saying he should have just talked it out with her. Jake shoots back that it was obvious how upsetting her actions would be, and that it's clear she doesn't care enough about anyone else for talking to be an option. He finishes off that he specifically chose her because of her spectacularly awful behavior, not just to him but everyone, and that it reflects more on her character than his that he would want her dead.
- Put the "Laughter" in "Slaughter": Chucky laughs after he kills a detective.
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Jake gives one to Lexy for always treating people like shit and expecting them to take it, and not realizing why he would want her dead.
- The Reveal: Throughout the flashbacks in the episode, we see a teenage Charles Lee Ray living at an orphanage and befriending a young boy there who shows similar Troubling Unchildlike Behavior as him. The end of the episode reveals that the boy is none other than Eddie Caputo, Charles Lee Ray’s partner and getaway driver from the first movie, who abandoned him that fateful night.
- Sports Dad: Lexy's dad accuses Logan of being this to Junior just to relive his glory days, and gets a punch in the face in retaliation. It's heavily implied that this is the case.
- He then at least asks Junior if he actually loves to run track, because he doesn't want him to do it only because pressure... Except he then tells Junior to "Say it" in a way that sounds more like a threat.
- Title Drop: The title is said by Chucky when trying to convince Jake to drop Lexy from the second floor of her house.
- Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: In one of the flashbacks, we see a teenage Charles Lee Ray playing Peter Pan with three young boys at the orphanage, and shows them the mutilated corpse of the orphanage’s janitor, saying he “got Captain Hook”. While two of the boys understandably run off in terror, one stays behind, showing a bizarre interest in it. That boy is later revealed to be Eddie Caputo.
- Unexpected Kindness: Lexy showing concern for her sister when Caroline is in the hospital seems to genuinely surprise her parents.
- What the Hell, Hero?: Lexy really lays into Jake when he admits to giving her Chucky in an attempt to kill her, which resulted in not only her little sister being put in a coma from smoke inhalation, but Oliver dying.
- What You Are in the Dark: Jake saves Lexy from falling to her death. There’s nobody else around except Chucky to witness it and she’s horrible to him.
