* [[spoiler: DownerEnding]].

* ShoutOut: Many scenes in the pilot seem lifted from either ''RosemarysBaby'' or ''TheDevilsAdvocate''.
** The birds in "Murmurations" seem to be a ShoutOut to ''TheBirds''.
** The scene in which Louise is 'attacked' by the elevator brings to mind both the Danish movie ''Das Lift'' and a death scene in ''FinalDestination 2''.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Jane is often barefoot while at home, or investigating something in the hotel, or during one of her dream sequences. In fact, in the series' short run, Rachel Taylor's bare feet got more attention than Summer Glau's did in all 13 episodes of ''{{Firefly}}''.

* LadyInRed: Olivia buys Jane a very expensive red dress as a welcome present (and an incitement).

* [[spoiler: FaceHeelTurn: Jane]].

* [[spoiler: NiceJobBreakingItHero: Jane makes a deal with Gavin to save Henry when he's shot, the price of which is... a new order. What does this mean? Two words; TheAntichrist]].

* [[spoiler: TogetherInDeath: Brian and Louise]].

* ArtisticLicenseMedicine: In "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?", Jane reacts with great anxiety to the nurse strapping a band on her arm to take her blood pressure (because it reminds her of being restrained during her recent repressed traumatic experience) and tells her to stop, and the nurse insists on pressing on, struggling with her, holding her down and injecting her with sedatives. In reality, this would be illegal. Jane's dissociative episode is not enough for her to be treated as mentally incompetent.

** [[spoiler: Jane completely blacks out everything from when she enters the hidden stairway in the basement of the Drake to suddenly appearing in Times Square.]]
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Annie says this word for word when she realizes her way out of her deal with Gavin will lead to [[spoiler: an innocent man's death]].

* OncePerEpisode: A resident of the Drake makes a {{Deal With The Devil}}, and eventually pays for it.
* RewritingReality: Annie, a journalist with dreams of making it big, makes a deal with Gavin to become a success. This manifests as gaining the ability to make whatever she writes come true. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, this leads to the assassin she created killing her.]]

** It's debatable whether Peter Kramer was ''evil'' per say or just driven crazy by the Drake, but in any case, his spirit was locked inside a suitcase, which was then locked in a storage room in the basement that was bricked shut.
* ShoutOut: Many scenes in the pilot seem lifted off from either ''RosemarysBaby'' or ''TheDevilsAdvocate''.
** The birds in 'Murmurations' seem to be a ShoutOut to TheBirds.
