* ChekhovsGun: PlayedWith. Spartan mentions that Cachinga was at Oxford with him, and the gang finds an Oxford ring at a crime scene where the Headless Horror attacked. They promptly have the manservant arrested, only as a fall guy gambit to lure out the real culprit - Spartan’s wife, who ALSO went to Oxford.

Added DiffLines:

* EasilyForgiven: Hearing Marion's motivations, Rick refuses to press charges.


Added DiffLines:

* IJustWantToBeNormal: Marion's motivation for pretending to be the Headless Horror. She can't stand all this "icky" adventuring (which includes, among other things, constantly exerting herself in the jungle and having to worry about ticks) and wants a more relaxing life.


Added DiffLines:

* NotSoAboveItAll: With everything settled, Rick invites the group to have pizza and watch a movie in his room. Sheriff Stone appears incredulous, only to then say that he's in.

Added DiffLines:

* FunnyForeigner: Either subverted or double-subverted with Cachinga. Spartan ''treats'' him like a stereotypical NobleSavage. In fact, he's a British Oxford graduate and very nearly the embodiment of StiffUpperLip for much of the plot.


Added DiffLines:

* NotSoStoic: Chachinga when Spartan is threatened, having previously shown very little emotion other than resigned exasperation.
* YouNoTakeCandle: Parodied. Spartan speaks this way when dealing with Cachinga, who is visibly irritated by it and actually better-spoken than Spartan himself.
