| 9 | * EvilAllAlong: It is revealed that Wednesday's death was all a ThanatosGambit to get Shadow to sacrifice himself, rejuvenating him for an even bigger con he had been playing against everyone else. |
| 10 | * IJustWantToBeSpecial: While Laura thinks that Shadow doesn't owe Wednesday anything, Shadow still decides to go through with the vigil for him (which is stated to be nothing short of a death sentence) because he believes that he has a destiny. When he realizes that all he was was a patsy to be martyred set up by his own father, Shadow is understandably devastated. |
| 11 | * ILied: Despite having promised Laura safe passage and protection from the Old Gods, Mr. World still gives her up to them, Laura's distrust in his word and Shadow's mercy being the only things saving her. |
| 12 | * IronicName: The Center of America Motel isn't actually at the Center of America. The actual Center of America was a pig farm whose owner would not sell, so the Motel was built a few miles away. Whether or not this was the reason why the place is a metaphysical dead zone is never confirmed. |
| 13 | * TheNeutralZone: The series has [[LandmarkOfLore established prospering tourist attractions like the House on the Rock and the Grand Peacock Hotel]] as [[PlaceOfPower Places of Power]].

Fortunately, this makes it the perfect neutral ground for gods, Czernobog unable to hit Mr. World with his hammer when given the opportunity. |
