• Chekhov's Gun: Since the authors of the story have used this trope at least once, with Alastair tracking Dean down using the collar in Castie's safe, they speculate other minor points might factor into the plot in a major way.
  • The fact that there is a true mate clause that allows for slaves to be freed if they are bonded with a mate seems like it will come into play later. Castiel made it clear that he sees this as barbaric and unethical, but desperate times.
  • The date on Dean's paperwork is a month off, and many fans speculate this means he was signed in illegally. They wonder if this will be used to free Dean.
