* LovingParentCruelParent: Slightly downplayed. Chloe's living mother is a pretty flawed and ineffectual but loving person, while Chloe's deceased father was evidently an abuser who still haunts them both. This leads to one of the Isolus' living drawings depicting Chloe's father to come to life as a literal monster which terrorizes them.

* AndIMustScream: The children trapped in the drawings are still alive, and clearly unhappy about their situation (Chloe points out that she doesn't draw them sad, but that they become sad on his own). Thanfully, they get freed when the Isolus is reunited with its people.



* BigBad: The Isolus, at least in a BlueAndOrangeMorality way.

* BigBad: The Isolus, at least in a BlueAndOrangeMorality way. While it's not actively malevolent, [[IJustWantToBeLoved just wanting friends]] so it can feed off their love, it does so by possessing Chloe and making her abduct people through her drawings.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: This was both Creator/DavidTennant's first season and a late-addition script, so Ten's characterisation here is very non-specific Doctor-y, from being overly jovial in the face of parents whose children have disappeared to helping himself to marmalade in someone else's house (an action better suited to wackier Doctors like Two, Four, Seven, Eleven or Thirteen).



* LighterAndSofter[=/=]BreatherEpisode: This episode serves as the calm before the storm that is the two-parter series finale in which the Doctor and Rose are traumatically separated.

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Despite telling Chloe outright it loves her, the alien instantly dumps her and leaves her to deal with its recreation of her father alone as soon as it can go home. Somewhat subverted in that the alien is a child that didn't fully understand the consequences of what it was doing (there was no malice in any of it, it just couldn't handle being alone because it was used to a family with billions of siblings), it only had the one chance to get back to its own family, and it had to leave right then. It's also hinted that the alien leaving is what caused the recreation of Chloe's father to go away as it got out of range, as it was its power that was doing it to begin with. Chloe rejecting it just made it go quicker than it otherwise would have.

* NightmareFuelColoringBook: Chloe has drawings of her abusive dad, and of every missing kid in town on her walls... and it's because she drew them that they're missing to begin with. It gets worse when the picture of the abusive dad actually comes to life. The first time it comes to life is after a tense period when Rose tried to find out what's inside a closet. When she opens it, the picture glows red and growls, much the same way a screamer would do in something like the Ghost Car video. The second time, it actually escapes from the closet that it had been drawn inside and walked towards them, intent on abusing them from beyond the grave.
