- Ass Pull: For some, Charlie's Robotic Reveal came off like this. Many believed it came with little to no Foreshadowingnote and the fact that she could do literally everything a human being could do, including eating and sleeping, felt completely unrealistic and confusing.
- Catharsis Factor: After three books of Afton cheating death and proving himself a sadistic monster over and over again, he finally meets his permanent end at the end of the book. His previous victims drag him with them into a furnace, ridding Hurricane of his evil and receiving the peace they deserve.
- Complete Monster: The killer returns yet again. See that page for details.
- Esoteric Happy Ending: While William Afton is defeated once and for all and his victims are able to finally move on, both Charlie's fate and future are left ambiguous with none of her friends aside from John seem to really care that much about her missing at the end. Even if one considers the woman in the cemetery to be her, she's still lost almost everything in her life, which ultimately leaves her story on a very uncertain and sour note
- This ties in with Fridge Horror, but if the woman in the cemetery is Charlie, she will eventually watch all her friends and loved ones die of old age while she never changes due to being a robot
- Moral Event Horizon:
- As tragic as her past may be, there is nothing forgivable about how Elizabeth Afton/Baby killed Aunt Jen while impersonating Charlie by choking her and ripping out her stomach never letting the real Charlie make amends with Jen.
- William Afton crossed it many, many times, but this book shows him at his worst. In the present that the book was set in, he was willing to continue his evil legacy by using his killer robots to abduct children. When Carlton finds himself in the afterlife of the victims of the Missing Children Incident, it's shown that William dressed up as Spring Bonnie and got the kids to trust him before killing them, especially brutal for Susie when he lied to her about finding her puppy before giving her the same treatment. The Wham Line at the end shows that William killed Charlie when she was only three. However, he undeniably crossed the line when it's shown that he was a horrible father to Elizabeth even before he started his murders, stomping on her paper and hitting her when she was only trying to make him proud of her, which prompted her transformation into Circus Baby in the first place in a desperate attempt to get him to notice her.
