* DevilButNoGod: Mrs. Albright and her minions/victims are the only supernatural entities we see, and no prayers or holy symbols have any effect on her. Best exemplified when Kathryn holds out a cross necklace to defend herself and Albright remarks that "our kind ''invented'' the cross."

Added DiffLines:

* BatmanGambit: All of the bargains see Albright playing to a given person's personal desire. The biggest example is the final bargain, where Albright [[spoiler:seemingly tortures Catherine to get Gray to give up his soul in order to protect her]]. After it's done, she remarks to her victim that she knew all along about this characteristic and gloats about exploiting it.


Added DiffLines:

* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:Catherine not only makes a bargain with Albright of her own free will, but she also participates in a scheme to trick Gray into giving up his soul. She even mocks Gray before departing and muses he'll be turned into one of those paper dolls. That is instead her fate.]]


Added DiffLines:

* YouFool: Gray to [[spoiler:Catherine]] after learning of that given bargain.

* TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler: Catherine]] completely buys the idea [[spoiler: she can become a "queen of Hell" by agreeing of her own free will to join Albright. Albright herself muses that "amazing. I think it's actually going to be a surprise to her" that Catherine ends up just another one of her dolls]].
