Line 25:
* [[Dead All Along]]: Jared, who died of cancer while in his teens. See [[Posthumous Narration]].
* [[Depopulation Bomb]]: the Sleep.
* [[Earn Your Happy Ending]]: the characters {{spoiler|save for Karen}} get to re-live their lives, with the added bonus of Pam and Hamilton being drug-free and Jane being able to see. However, {{spoiler|they have to experience the world ending and everyone they love dying first.}} YMMV on ''how'' happy their ending is, however - see [[Go Mad Fromfrom the Revelation]].
* [[Five-Man Band]]
** [[The Hero]]: Richard
Line 32:
** [[The Chick]]: Pam
** [[Tagalong Kid]]: Megan, Jane and {{spoiler|Jared and Wendy's baby}}
* [[Foreshadowing]]: Karen's letter to Richard, in which she describes what is about to take place. Later, Pam and Hamilton experience visions of international death and destruction in tandem while they're unconscious and undergoing detox.
* [[Go Mad Fromfrom the Revelation]]: Richard, Pam, Hamilton, Linus, Megan and Wendy - at least, to outsiders who aren't aware of the things they experienced {{spoiler|after the world ended.}} Jared is fully aware that they'll all be viewed as crazies while on their quest for the truth.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Karen. She goes back into her coma at the end, so that her friends may have a second chance at life and the world will be restored to normal. Although Richard tries to stop her, she makes it clear that she's always known this will have to happen, and there is no way out.}}
* [[It Got Worse]]: when Karen comes out of her coma, it signifies the beginning of the end of the world.
