Added DiffLines:
* GodTest: Gerald the coroner is alright with Jane reading Victoria's body if she reads him first to prove her psychic abilities. She reads him and recites just enough of his backstory to convince him that she's legit.
Added DiffLines:
* IKnowMortalKombat: Alex learned how to perform martial arts from an avatar of [[Series/DoctorWho the Third Doctor]] as well as by studying Creator/BruceLee's works.
Added DiffLines:

* ImplausibleDeniability: Alex is well aware that Jeremy didn't kill Victoria from the moment he begins working on the case, but he only knows because he found it out while astral projecting, which is impossible to back up in a court of law. This is why he recruits Jane to the case: he knows she not only can help him figure out the secret, but that she wants to more than anyone else.
Added DiffLines:
* ShoutOut: Jane refers to Alex as [[Series/TwinPeaks Agent Cooper]]; Emma doesn't get the reference and corrects her.

* AssholeVictim: Downplayed with Victoria; while she was not a good person in life and Jane doesn't mourn her passing at all, it doesn't mean that she deserved to die and Emma still mourns her deeply.
Added DiffLines:
* CowboyCop: FBI Agent Timmons, as a believer in the powers of the shifters, doesn't even try to pretend that he's not blatantly breaking the law in pursuit of Victoria's killer, recruiting Jane on the case pretty much immediately just because her mother suggested it.
