!!This Episode Provides Examples of:

* AndIMustScream: The [[AFateWorseThanDeath fate worse than death]] to which convicted criminals are sentenced.
* BittersweetEnding: Justice is served, but Holmes will have a heck of a time getting to sleep and ''staying'' asleep for a long time to come...
* BreakTheCutie: Usually, with Holmes, this would be a case of BreakTheHaughty. But his adventures with the Doctor had been, up to this point, [[TookALevelInKindness softening him]].
* ClearTheirName: It's up to the two Doctors now.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Up 'til now, Holmes and Watson have been getting into no more trouble than Martha did in the original season. This marks the first time one of the Holmesian Companions gets in ''deep''.
* SerialEscalation: Though the CerebusSyndrome doesn't kick in until "Dynamics of a Point", this is the episode that starts racking up the intensity.
