  • Casual Kink: Doc, Wynonna, and Rosita all make reference to this while talking at the rocks.
  • Cult: The convent turns out to be one of these run by a demon.

  • Nuns Are Spooky: The convent's Mother Superior is actually a demon.
  • Once More, with Clarity: The opening shows last episode's closing scene before Waverly arrives.
  • Our Ghosts Are Different: Nicole is gold and sparkly as a ghost. She can also affect the lights and possess the Reaper.

    Nicole: I frogged up real bad.

    • After the nuns reference shame:
      Wynonna: If you want shame, I've got three seasons of Flavor of Love on DVD.
