* BaitAndSwitch: The episode opens with what appears to be Nicole and Waverly's wedding, but it's actually a dream.
* BrokenPedestal: Doc is upset by watching a video of Wyatt where he says cruel things about Doc.
* TheBusCameBack: Rosita, who hasn't been seen since Wynonna gave birth and was thought to have been killed when the curse broke along with the rest of the Revenants.
* CasualKink: When Waverly needs to tie Nicole up, she says it wouldn't be the first time. Then she goes to get the KinkyCuffs.

* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** Nicole's dream foreshadows both the fire and the eventual reveal that she was the one who set it.
** Wynonna briefly brings up her grudge against Rosita, who then shows up at the very end of the episode.
* FreudianSlip: Wynonna calls the owner of The Glory Hole a "sexy demon."

* HouseFire: The Homestead is on fire at the beginning of the episode. Luckily, Rachel puts out the fire before too much is damaged.
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Jeremy justifies not being in touch with Nicole during the year and a half because he did what he had to do to survive.
* InternalReveal: Everyone finds out that Nicole did something terrible while they were in the Garden. Unfortunately, she's prevented from telling them exactly what that is.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Jeremy looks right into the camera when he says "I know how this looks but I'm asking you to trust us." The scene also looks bad from the viewers' perspective, as he and Nedley are drowning Nicole.

* NotWhatItLooksLike: Jeremy says "I know how this looks" when Waverly finds him and Nedley drowning Nicole to stop the frog curse.

** Nicole was the one who set the fire when she dreamt about lighting Wynonna's cigar.

* RousingSpeech: Wynonna gives one of these in the barn about going after the Clantons, then {{lampshades}} the trope by name.

-->'''Jeremy:''' Sorry to pull a Wynonna.
* ShoutOut:
** Wynonna says they shouldn't let ''Film/MeanGirls'' into the gift shop, then says "she doesn't even go here!" to them.
** Hearing the video of Wyatt Earp, Wynonna asks if it's an ad for ''Film/TheBigLebowski''.
** Nedley has an interesting cure for illness:
--->'''Nedley:''' Did you try chicken soup and a ''[[Series/OneDayAtATime2017 One Day At a Time]]'' marathon?
** Since Nicole is vomiting frogs, Wynonna greets her with "What up, [[Franchise/TheMuppets Kermit]]?"
* ThatsWhatSheSaid: Said word for word by Wynonna.
* VomitIndiscretionShot: This episode is ''full'' of these, given that Nicole is cursed with vomiting frogs every time she tries to tell someone what she did.
* WhamLine:
** "I don't know where Peacemaker is." "But I do."
** "I need you to kill me."
