* TheCorruptible: While Nida is a good person, she has a darker side in her, as she often imagines herself killing bad people, like Keith, or people that mistreat her, like Vicky. Gaap points out that she was only able to summon him in the first place because she's this. If she was incorruptible, her touching the talisman would've done anything.

* ButtMonkey: Downplayed and implied, given how the demon realm treats his task. Not only was Gaap given an insanely difficult initiation with absurdly high stakes (get a pacifistic woman to murder three people daily under specific conditions or else the ''world will end'' and he'll suffer eternal loneliness) but when he calls them for assistance, they refuse to make any exceptions for his situation despite Nida technically fulfilling the obligations of the assignment, as she did actually kill three people within three days, its just that murderers do not count for some reason. Looking back, his initiation seemed doomed to fail from the start, however, he makes the best of it and even when he fails, shows to anger or sadness in it.

* SheepInSheepsClothing: The story sets him up as somebody who's trying to manipulate Nida into committing murder to complete some kind of hidden agenda of his, as well as lying to her. Turns out he was telling the truth all along; that he was being earnest when explaining the three day countdown of sacrificing three people as well as informing her of people's true nature. Upon failing his initiation, he even offers her to spend eternity with him without any ill will whatsoever. Of course, this trope mostly extends to [[MoralityPet Nida]]; when it comes to who has to get killed for humanity to be saved, it doesn't matter to him whether they victims are good or bad.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Shown to completely disdain and show no qualms about killing Micheal Smart once finding out what he has plans to do once elected.

* ImagineSpot: Has two before she summons Gaap, one of her strangling Keith, and other of her smashing Vicky's head against the store's balcon. They end up serving as a hint that, while Nida may be a good person, she has a darker side to her.
* ItsPersonal: Nida provides a deconstruction of this trope. When she has to choose her third victim, she becomes so dead set on killing Michael that she ends up ignoring Gaap's advice of choosing an easier target, like her boss, her co-worker Vicky, or Len Fisher. By the end, Len Fisher prevents her from killing Michael Smart, and little after midnight, a nuclear war starts.
* MissingMom: Her mother died at some point before the events of the episode and that still weights on her.


Added DiffLines:

* AssholeVictim: Presumably dies as a result of the nuclear war that starts at the end of the episode, but if that was the case, it was totally deserved.


Added DiffLines:

* AssholeVictim: Presumably dies as a result of the nuclear armagedon in the end, but it's not like she didn't deserve it.
* OldMaid: According to Gaap, had the nuclear apocalipse been prevented, this was going to be her fate.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: She's Nida's WeaselCoWorker, a jerkass overall, and is openly racist, saying racist remarks within Nida's earshot and with intentions of voting for the National Front.

* ButtMonkey: Nida is constantly faced with micro aggressions from her asshole coworkers, is constantly given shocked or dirty looks by others, and lives in a dingy, single bedroom apartment after her mother's death. It's no wonder she's fine with leaving the world behind in the end.

* FauxAffablyEvil: He appears well-spoken, polite and charming, but his rhetoric is racist and dogmatic, and given Nida's visions, he'll bring the world to ruin with his agenda.
* HateSink: Shows to be a violent racist who’s actions will eventually cause massive damage to society and the UK.
* PresidentEvil: Attempts to win the election to start a war terror against immigrants

* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Michael Smart, the conservative politician, really is every bit as much of a white supremacist as the National Front. He is just smart enough to know that being openly racist is considered uncivilized, so he uses center-right talking points instead.

* {{Trumplica}}: He's a British version and is a little bit smoother around the edges than other examples, but he's very clearly meant to invoke this kind of type in his way of appealing to voters.
