* ArbitraryScepticism: Anselmo Baledin, the Black Claw member who speaks to Renard, expresses some cynicism that Nick has some sort of protection that can't be explained. This causes Renard to finally lose patience and tell Baledin, and Black Claw, to get lost.
-->'''Renard:''' I was there. The Grimm should be dead, but he's not. Like I told you, he's being protected by something very powerful.\\
'''Baledin:''' That's the part I'm having a hard time understanding.\\
'''Renard:''' Oh, well, maybe you could understand this. I'm done taking orders, I'm done with Black Claw, and I'm done with you.



* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Averted. Beverly the Alpe pretends to do this, agreeing to leave town when Nick threatens to go Grimm on her, but attacks when his back is turned. She's quickly killed when he knocks her down and she bangs her head on

* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: VictimOfTheWeek Michael Sobek is just a good person trying to help a man in obvious distress. Unfortunately, that man is suffering psychosis caused by chronic sleep paralysis and beats Sobek to death thinking he's part of what's happening to him.
-->'''Dan:''' You want me to sleep?\\
'''Sobek:''' I just want you to be safe.\\
'''Dan:''' It's you, isn't it? [''Knocks Sobek to the ground and slams his head into the pavement'']

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Nick's phone call to hotel owner Beverly Garwood gets a lot of screentime considering she says nothing useful. the whole thing could be summarised as, "I spoke to the owner; she didn't know anything," but the whole interview is shown, complete with Beverly in her apartment. Sure enough, the secret passages through which the MonsterOfTheWeek is attacking their victims leads straight to her apartment, because she's the monster.

* OhCrap: When Monroe asks Rosalee how they get enough melatonin into him to ensure he's the Alpe's target, she holds up a ''large'' needle. Cue the face. (In fact, [[ArtisticLicenseMedicine melatonin can be administered orally]], but y'know, RuleOfFunny.)

* SleepParalysisCreature: The Alpe is the cause of sleep paralysis as it feeds on people while they sleep, draining their melatonin and making them unable to sleep. Since they repeatedly feed on the same victims, it slowly drives the person insane. One victim kills an innocent person in a psychotic rage, and another runs from her room in a panic and falls over the stair railing and dies. Monroe's aunt Ada was also a victim.
* SpiritAdvisor: After Renard rejects an olive branch from a Black Claw member, Meisner takes on this role for him, warning Renard about an ambush and helping him escape by blinding one of the attackers while Renard deals with the other. When the attack is over, he indicates that his UnfinishedBusiness is done and vanishes as he walks away.
-->'''Meisner:''' This time, you chose the right side, Sean.

!!This episode provides examples of:

* AlternativeCalendar: The symbols Eve carved into the tunnel turn out to be a chart showing the positions of the planets on a specific date.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Nick's phone call to hotel owner Beverly Garwood gets a lot of screentime considering she says nothing useful. the whole thing could be summarised as, "I spoke to the owner; she didn't know anything," but the whole interview is shown, complete with Beverly in her apartment. Sure enough, the secret passages through which the MonsterOfTheWeek is attacking their victims leads straight to her apartment, because she's the monster.
* LetsGetDangerous: When the Alpe sneers that Nick has no legal recourse against her as nothing ties her to any murders, Nick pointedly tosses his badge to Hank and tells her what will happen if she doesn't get out of town.
* OhCrap: When Monroe asks Rosalee how they get enough melatonin into him to ensure he's the Alpe's target, she holds up a ''large'' needle. Cue the face. (In fact, [[ArtisticLicenseMedicine melatonin can be administered orally]], but y'know, RuleOfFunny.)
* ShoutOut:
** The episode features several references to real-life serial killer H. H. Holmes: Englewood Hotel bears an architectural resemblance to the World Fair Hotel in Englewood, Chicago, located on 63rd Street. Like Holes' "murder castle," it has secret passages enabling the MonsterOfTheWeek to attack guests in locked rooms.
** Monroe quotes the Creator/OscarWilde line, "Life is a nightmare that prevents one from sleeping."
* WhamLine: Rosalee and Eve decode the tunnel carvings and realise it's a map of the planets, showing their positions on a specific date... in the very near future.
