*CompleteMonster: [[MadScientist Isaac Taft]] proves HumansAreTheRealMonsters in a show full of vicious Fae. Desiring to [[IJustWantToBeSpecial become a powerful Fae himself]], Taft has multiple Fae kidnapped and subjected to hideous and torturous experiments before dumping their corpses into a mass grave. One of the few survivors is left mentally scarred and nearly insane. Taft captures the succubus heroine Bo's ex-boyfriend Dyson and has him experimented on as well, planning to blackmail Bo's current lover Lauren into experimenting on Dyson to transport his essence into Taft. Interested only in his own advancement, Taft believed that with [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney billions of dollars, he could do anything he desired]].

** Kenzi and Dyson. It's not canon yet, but the ship is strong with this pairing. It became very obvious in season three that the powers that be are well aware of it.

* {{Squick}}: "Let the Dark Times Roll". When Bo asks to see the paperwork that claims [[spoiler:she's now Dark]], the Dark Fae records keeper ''tears off his scalp'' and gives it to her. She is appropriately grossed out.
** In "End of a Line", the only way to take control of or know who commands Revenants is to drink their blood. Eventually, Bo herself is forced to do this.

* {{Woobie}}: Bo has accidentally killed a lot of people, a lot of whom were her lovers, Lauren has been [[spoiler: manipulated into being a slave to people who hate humans ''twice'' and stayed with her coma-girlfriend for five years only for her to die violently before her eyes straight after she woke up, and her treatment took a turn for the worse under Lachlan]], and Kenzi's stepfather was apparently so bad that she was nearly willing to risk her worst fear ([[spoiler: Baba Yaga]]) to try and rid herself of him and she ended up on the streets from a young age. Honestly, though, [[DysfunctionJunction no one in the gang's life seems to have been a bed of roses]].

** Hale's rejection of Kenzi in "Fae'd to Black" is portrayed as a KickTheDog moment. But he had to reason to think anything was actually wrong with her (nor did anyone else), and last time she barged in him during a meeting (ignoring his attempts to tell her to stop) to talk about fashion. It's hardly surprising that he shut her out at the end.

* WhatAnIdiot: Really, Kenzi? You're in the house of someone you know isn't human, and eat their food without checking for permission ''or'' to see what it is? That's both very rude and very stupid.

* DesignatedVillain: The Norn arguably. Her deal seems to be: you sacrifice that which you value the most in exchange for what it is you want. If that is the case (which Dyson apparently knew), then it's his fault for not knowing what it was that he valued the most. Her behavior after is her merely sticking to the deal, and refusing to go back. If someone had ''offered'' her something in exchange for Dyson's love, that would be different.

* AngstWhatAngst: Played with for Lauren in Season 2. After [[spoiler:Nadia dies (in Lauren's [[DiedInYourArmsTonight arms no less]]]], Lauren spends the next episode going through a realistic process of grief. While it is gone by the next episode, this can be justified by how reserved Lauren typically is, which is implied to be the only way she survived the Fae world.
