* StealthPrequel: Initially offered as a WhatIf story where Elizabeth and Booker are transplanted into a FilmNoir mystery taking place in Rapture. [[spoiler:Then after many allusions of the multiverse concept from the main game, it's finally revealed to be a StealthSequel to ''Infinite''; Elizabeth and the Luteces are hunting down and killing the last remaining Comstock in the multiverse. ''Then'' it's revealed to be this in ''Episode 2'', where Elizabeth ends up being witness to and responsible for some major events in the first game's backstory, including helping Atlas launch the New Years Eve bombings, creating the imprinting process between Big Daddies and Little Sisters, indirectly causing the death of Suchong, and finally handing over the "Would You Kindly" TriggerPhrase to Atlas, thus setting up the events of the first game.]]

* VoodooShark: The previously unexplained Vigors are revealed to be Plasmid technology that Jeremaih Fink stole from Rapture. Drinkable Plasmids are also HandWaved as needing 10 times the ADAM to explain their absence in the first two games. This raises the question of how Jeremiah Fink got enough ADAM to mass produce Vigors without an equivalent to Little Sisters. Also ADAM is highly addictive and causes cancer like growths, properties Vigors are never implied to have (aside from the BodyHorror effects on Booker's hands).
