* TheSummation: Javert does one at the end. If he is playing Sherlock Holmes he will damn well do it ''right''.

* FairPlayWhodunnit: More or less, the only advantage the detective [[spoiler:Javert]] has over the reader is that he sees things in color. [[spoiler:And also he failed becaus wasn't GenreSavvy enough to considering the {{Muppet}} as a possible suspect. Everybody who saw {{Film/Labyrinth}} should know better.]]

[[spoiler:And also he failed because he wasn't being GenreSavvy enough to considering the {{Muppet}} as a possible suspect. Everybody who saw {{Film/Labyrint}} should knew better.]]

* TheWildHunt: Jareth got invited / named as host for it [[spoiler: by The Erlkönig]] he didn't accept without a [[YouOweMe cost]]. And he described it as his father's "[[{{Understatement}} magical men's club running rampant in the common area]]", which gives us a glimpse of their power level.

'''New Characters:''' James, Javert.\\
'''Story:''' The first OddCouple moves in and the new one is introduced. Also the birth of the '''Dreaded Fruit Basket Gag''.

'''Story:''' The second and third {{Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean}} movie and it's effects on James. (Beginning of James' alcohol problem, and his friendship with Jareth. Also the first appearance of the MediaClassifications jokes.)

'''Story:''' Well, the main cast reenacts the 100 years of war in small and silly. The girls are introduced. The ''Boys are silly'' / ''Girls are scary'' {{Catch Phrase}}s are born.

'''Characters:''' Erik, Jareth, James, Javert.\\
'''Story:''' Well, these are standalone gags. But we get some new characters ans situational comedy.

'''Characters:''' Erik, Jareth, James, Javert, Aziraphale, Crowley.\\

'''Story:''' A crimewave reached the building causing severe deja vu and more.

'''Story:''' Frodo and his pursuers found the 'verse. Time to show badass... or not.

'''Story:''' Legolas moves in and to ''celebrate'' this the characters decide to drink way to much and put the karaoke machine on random... HilarityEnsues.

'''Story:''' Attack of the dopplegangers. Or at least characters played by PhilipQuast, Music/DavidBowie, JackDavenport and GerardButler.

'''Story:''' Standard hazards of living with a FairFolk is the random magic... which gives us a small glimpse what kind of children the castmembers were.

'''Story:''' Two new characters are introduced. Javert's BizarreTasteInFood, James' weird luck with Elizabeth and Erik's glitterphobia established.

'''Story:''' Well, Jareth does the wash. Also Erik's [[NoseBleed reaction]] to female underwear is established.

'''Story:''' Jareth organizes a vacation (and blackmails the main cast into participating). It ends up having a short cut through Oz.

'''Story:''' The repeated meeting with Elizabeth takes a toll on poor James and Jareth (and Erik) thinks that the only non-sympathetic character (Javert) needs a girlfriend, boyfriend. It ends with [[spoiler:James hooking up with Éponine for the great annoyance of Javert]].

'''Story:''' This arc answers the question what the main cast does for a living. 3/4th of them work at the [[ExtranormalInstitute St. Jude University]]. Most of the actual story focuses on James and his ''rivalry'' with Dr. Jones and his (futile) attempts to keep his students from skipping class.

'''Story:''' The residents of the building hold a big Halloween party, then murder!

'''Story:''' Sarah finds cute kitty, then makes the others petsit it... Jareth is not amused.

'''Story:''' The old superintendents of the building decide to retire (as it's not the Phantomless job of their dreams), the new one forces Javert to face his past.

'''Story:''' Nathan and Shilo move in, get some visitors from their original story. Also Erik falls in love and in great trouble.

'''Story:''' Jareth shows his manipulative side by using peer pressure to make Erik visit the support group meeting. Which might or might not do any good.

'''Story:''' Jareth organizes the second vacation against everybody's wishes... and he learned from the last and commits very new mistakes (This arc sets up the [[spoiler:Dark!Jareth arc]] by foreshadowing Jareth's family and the whole thing possibly backfiring).

'''Story:''' Morgan comes to visit her son, the TangledFamilyTree gets some more lampshades. We also see what can happen to {{Composite Character}}s over time.

'''Story:''' Sarah meets a very lonely magical child (from the past), is kind to him and he gives her his word. (We get a setup for ''{{Film/Labyrinth}}''.)

'''Story:''' Some classical FairFolk stop by and almost steal Toby (again) also try to deliver some [[VaguenessIsComing warning]].

'''Story:''' Sarah has sleeping problem because of ''{{Film/Inception}}''... Jareth solves it. ''It'' becomes their landlord.

'''Story:''' The cast got letters, James from his mother and she wants to come to visit.

'''Story:''' New tenants, way too much absinthe and Javert is not amused.

'''Story:''' Jareth's mirror beaks, his dark side appears and tries to rerail the stories of the cast. Also James mother finally arrives... and gets along with [[spoiler:Jareth's dad]] way too much.

'''Story:''' James comes finally clean and has a talk with his mother. Turns out most of it wasn't needed.

'''Story:''' The residents and new additions team up to avert a zombie apocalypse... not that it's easy.

'''Story:''' Jareth goes to visit his mother and comes back with a magical cold.

'''Story:''' The Erlkönig decided to give his son the gift of mortality. For their misfortune his ex-wife had some things to say about this too. Expect MindScrew.

'''Story:''' While James and Javert greet the new neighbors with Muffin Basket and visit the support group, Erik messes with Azi's lost mobile with the help of his internet buddies, there is also StuffBlowingUp.

'''Story:''' The Erlkönig names Jareth the host of TheWildHunt that he first refuses, but after some bargaining accepts... and because this is Jareth it backfires spectacularly. Also Javert meets his long lost uncle again and conquers a power all fictional beings fear.

'''Story:''' The newest LesMiserables adaptation hits its cast with TheNthDoctor.

'''Story:''' Fae being posessive... mostly Jareth takes kind of hard that his minions listen to his friends.

'''Story:''' Well, the main cast reenacts the 100 years of war in small and silly. The girls are introduced. The ''Boys are silly'' / ''Girls are scarry'' {{Catch Phrase}}s are born.
