* ExtradimensionalEmergencyExit: Saint Germain used the last of his strength to open the Infinite Corridor after Trevor struck the final blow on Death, dumping him on the banks of the Danube, still in Wallachia but two weeks ride away. He clings to life long enough to ride to Castle Dracula [[MadeOfIron without medical treatment]].

* BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: While Death is very much, well, [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu dead]], Trevor took this trope quite literally with his arm looking quite broken when he comes back from the Infinite Corridor.

* BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: While Death is very much, well, [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu dead]], Trevor took this trope quite literally literally, breaking his left arm in the fight with Death and his arm looking quite broken when he comes back from right being covered in scorch marks and discolorations [[HolyIsNotSafe as a result of using the Infinite Corridor.God-killing knife]].



* EarnYourHappyEnding: Death and every other malevolent force pulling the strings are now gone. Isaac has decided to rebuild Styria as a force for good in the world, Hector is retiring from his days of sorcery, Striga and Morana have fled to rebuild their own lives together and while Lenore is now dead, she had done it on her own terms. Alucard is helping Greta build a new village outside his castle for the survivors, with implications that his library and the Belmont hold will be used to educate future fighters against evil, and it is implied that the two of them are falling in love. Sypha is pregnant with Trevor's child and Trevor had just barely survived his battle with Death, the two of them deciding to stay with Alucard at the new village of Belmont and raise their child together. Instead of being driven mad in the form of the Rebis, Dracula and Lisa are now alive and well, StartingANewLife in England where they can live together in peace.

* HeelRealization: Lenore always prided herself on being a "diplomat", and thus sought "strength". Lenore thought the strength and stability she sought was the same as what Carmilla wanted, which she calls the "Vampire's Virtue". However, through the events of Carmilla's downfall and Hector's words, Lenore recognizes that "strength" and "power" are two different things, that Carmilla's goals were about power, and also that as a vampire, Lenore herself wanted "power" and not "strength", meaning that her understanding of what "Vampire's Virtue" is was a lie from the start. Recognizing her own failings is part of her choice to end her life.

* MurderSuicide: Trevor explains that the weapon he used to kill Death was from a spell a man made in an attempt at a Murder-Suicide pact with ''God Himself''. Trevor does admit the pact was rather "one sided", though.

She explodes and dies, she doesn't get a happy ending.


** Even Carmilla, who thanks to MotiveDecay became what she hated, has the potential for a happy ending as her territory will have a benevolent ruler, and whether she stays in hell or is revived, she may have the choice to either kill Isaac or move on from her unending thirst and find her own closure, like all of her sisters.

* SurprisinglyHappyEnding: For most of the cast, at least. After a teased StartOfDarkness in season 3, Alucard opens up more to human relationships, acting as a foster father to some orphaned children, and possible romance with Greta. Trevor and Sypha are happily in love with a baby on the way, while Vlad and Lisa have been returned to life and plan to travel far away to live in peace and solitude.

** Isaac has the foundations of a new, fairly large kingdom, where vampires and night creatures can serve in a sort of purgatory instead of being condemned to an eternal hell.

** Lenore has some closure on life and gets to die on her own terms.
** A previous episode established that separated from Styria, Striga and Morana are able to move on with their lives, safe in their love with each other, and potentially ruling and protecting a neighboring area whose mercenaries died in Styria.
