* BrokenAesop: Witch trials are bad... except in this universe, Witches are ''real''. ''Not'' identifying witches and stopping them means people die. This misses the entire point of witch trials.

* MagnificentBitch: Both Mary and Tituba. Anne Hale by the time of the GrandFinale. See below.
* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: Anne Hale's power-play in the GrandFinale, in which she arranges John Alden's escape, strangles Mercy and her husband, transports Tituba to a FateWorseThanDeath, casts the Countess back into her rotting corpse, and makes an arrangement with Lucifer that ''she'll'' be his new mother. What makes this even more impressive is that she does all this ''simultaneously'', effectively blindsiding ''everyone'' on the board and rendering herself the new Queen of Salem.
