Tropes applying to this Episode:
- Accentuate the Negative: In-Universe, Isaac is in the mood to do this.
- Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Kira's dad describing Scott to Kira as "that boy you like" in front of Scott.
- Bear Trap: Henry Tate fills the woods with them, trying to catch the coyote that he thinks killed his wife and daughters. Sheriff Stilinski is understandably pissed.

- The Bus Came Back: Braeden returns after seeming to have died saving Isaac back at the start of the season.
- Cold-Blooded Torture: The Calaveras to Peter and Derek.
- Continuity Nod: Malia took innocent lives during her first transformation, so her eyes glow blue.
- Irony: Situational irony when the Malia situation requires Allison, Scott, and Stiles to each do something that the symptoms of their Back from the Dead trip has prevented them from doing: Shooting accurately, using his Alpha form, and reading the instructions on a bear trap.
- "L" Is for "Dyslexia": Stiles continues to have trouble reading.
- Money, Dear Boy: Braeden is hired by Deucalion, who previously tried to have her killed. Her response? "Girl's gotta eat."
- Offing the Offspring: Scott is trying to stop Malia's father from accidentally doing this to Malia in her coyote form.

- Our Werebeasts Are Different: Werecoyotes are introduced.
- Ship Tease: For Allison/Isaac and Stiles/Lydia.
- Squick: Peter having his fingers sliced off.
