The final battle against the Garuda is here.
- Abandoned Hospital: The Garuda's lair is an abandoned mental hospital.
- Animal Motifs: The Garuda is an eagle.
- Beware the Nice Ones: By the end of the war, they all feared the Blood King...
- Call-Back:
- The throwing star Lauren gave Bo for her birthday shows up briefly.
- Kenzi says, "What happened, did I get roofied again?"
- Chekhov's Gun: A lot from the season.
- The cane-sword Trick gave Bo for her birthday (his wife's, her grandmother's).
- The Naga venom is finally ready.
- Bo's ability to enthrall shows up again to unite the team, as well as the unbinding from the same episode.
- The Garuda enters Trick like he did to Nadia... meaning he can rewrite the laws...
- The medicine Trick gives to Bo, made from his wife's life essence. He intended it to stop her from going dark, instead it saved his life.
- Chekhov's Gunman:
- The smokey figure hanging around at the end of the prior episode makes an appearance early in this one, kidnapping Trick.
- Hale's sister, Val, shows up to round out the group with a seventh. Also, she has weapons from the Santiago family.
- Vex makes his move at the very end, controlling the Garuda (in Trick's body) long enough for Bo to inject him with Naga venom.
- Cliffhanger: The... gift... that Kenzi "accepted" from the Norn, and it looks like Bo's going to have to wrestle with her darkness.
- God Save Us from the Queen!: Bo almost goes mad with power, strengthened by more than half a dozen thralls.
- Hidden Depths: Kenzi decodes Trick's secret language and finds the Garuda's lair.
- Love Triangle: Since Kenzi got Dyson's love back, the Dyson-Bo-Lauren triangle is back in full force.
- Luke, I Am Your Father: We already knew Trick was Bo's grandfather, but now we learn that she was named for her grandmother, Ysabeau.
- My Friends... and Zoidberg: Vex is determined to be the odd man out.
- Oh, Crap!:
- At first Vex can't believe Trick's the Blood King and busts out laughing. Then he respectfully replaces the bottle of booze he was drinking/stealing. "I never touched this..."
- Less comically, Vex has his arm shattered and Kenzi is stabbed and nearly dies.
- Most seriously, the Garuda's visions weaken Trick enough for him to take Trick's body, making it possible for him to rewrite the laws.
- Old Shame:
- Trick wasn't as noble in the war as he would like people to believe.
- Worse, his wife died trying to strike a peace... and it was his fault she died.
- The shame of cowardice and the pain of betrayal almost make Trick undo the law.
- Poke the Poodle: Although he's capable of some genuine badass villainy, Vex limits himself to making Kenzi stab her lucky teddy-bear.
- Prophecies Are Always Right:
- The Garuda's defeat came at his moment of triumph.
- Bo did indeed kill Trick, for a little bit.
- The Starscream: Trick's Warleader, who sold him out to the head of the Dark Fae... and sent a dispatch with Trick's seal ordering the assassination of Trick's wife.
- Third-Person Person: "HOW DARE YOU INTERFERE WITH GARUDA"
- Too Dumb to Live: Vex almost screwed everything by not taking Bo's blood.
- Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: Trick and his wife, Ysabeau.
