* CatScare: When she first investigates the general store, before any danger is apparent, a deer jumps up and scampers out of the store. Only a few steps closer to the back of the store, a deer-masked cultist bursts out.
* DetectivesFollowFootprints: Saga finds and follows footprints from Nightingale, but they quickly end at the dead tree.


Added DiffLines:

* INeedAFreakingDrink: Steven, the FBC technician assigned to repeatedly fix one of their monitoring outposts declines Ilmo's offer for some of his branded Bright Falls coffee, but takes him up on a follow-up offer of trying the local beer brew (which Ilmo also owns).


Added DiffLines:

* PrimitiveClubs: Nightingale rips off a large chunk of tree to use as an impromptu club during his boss fight.
* SawedOffShotgun: A double-barreled, sawed-off shotgun is locked away in the back of the abandoned general store. Solving the puzzle of the padlock's code allows Saga to take it for herself as a second weapon.
* TitleDrop: The title of the episode is said by Saga as she recites the rhyme to open the Overlap.
-->'''Saga:''' The wave crashed on the far side of the mirror. I brought you '''the heart''', witch. Show me the terror.
* TornadoMove: Early in his boss fight, Nightingale stands in the middle of the large clearing he is fighting Saga in and summons up a whirlwind to drive Saga into the winding depths of the Overlap.
* UnnaturallyLoopingLocation: Saga quickly realizes the Overlap acts like this, a small, distorted patch of reality which loops back to its beginning at a specific point (in this case, the massive dead tree).

** On the way out of the police station, you can find one of the Koskela Ad videos -- a ad for their wilderness tours called "Adventure Tours" -- in a breakroom. The whole thing ''reeks'' of StylisticSuck; Jaakko gives a flat, deadpan performance, the bear is a poorly made cardboard prop that uses stock audio for bear noises, and they boast about their own coffee brand (and the magazine that voted their coffee the best -- their own) after Ilmo "defeats" the bear by punching it. They even boast that they have found a work-around by the government's restrictions of the local wilderness via bolt-cutters.

!Tropes featured in this episode of ''VideoGame/AlanWakeII'':
* BecauseDestinySaysSo: Saga gets the idea to chase Nightingale to Cauldron Lake when she finds a manuscript page telling her that she should. The fact that it hints at more answers down the line must have been pretty enticing, too.
* WhamEpisode: Alan Wake is finally free from the Dark Place.
