* MetaTwist: In the original ''Quantum Leap'', it wasn't uncommon for an apparently supernatural plot to have a rational explanation, only for a RealAfterAll twist to pop up at the very end of the leap.[[note]]This was the case in "[[Recap/QuantumLeapS2E11APortraitForTroian A Portrait for Troian]]", "[[Recap/QuantumLeapS4E20TheCurseOfPtahHotep The Curse of Ptah-Hotep]]", and "[[Recap/QuantumLeapS5E15BloodMoon Blood Moon]]", and to a lesser extent, "[[Recap/QuantumLeapS4E18ItsAWonderfulLeap It's a Wonderful Leap]]".[[/note]] In this episode, you'd expect some kind of reveal at the end that there actually ''was'' a demon present, but the ''actual'' twist is that it was Janis' hologram glitching out.

* CentralTheme: Stepping outside of your own faith and beliefs to find the best answers.
** Ben struggles with this throughout the episode. He ''says'' he doesn't have religious faith or believe in demons, but is very clearly freaked out by the things that he sees. When he decides to play along and embrace Father Davenport's role as exorcist, this ultimately leads him to the rational explanations he's looking for.
** Late in the episode, Ben asks Daisy to step outside of her own faith and put her belief that she's possessed on hold so she can help them catch her would-be murderer. She's distraught at the thought of it, but agrees to help. She later shows tremendous mercy towards her mother and uncle because it's what she believes in. Ben later thanks Daisy for helping him to realize that stepping outside of someone's faith isn't a bad thing.
** Back at the Project, Addison and Ian are forced to keep faith that Ben will make it out of the leap on his own.
** A small moment, but Addison's backstory about being from a broken home, and not believing that she could get married until she met Ben, follows this theme as well.
