Line 23:

* [[Back From the Dead]]: The Troubled in the season 2 finale has the ability to bring people back as ghosts, {{spoiler|so long as he personally buried them.}}

* [[Because Destiny Says So]]: This is basically the explanation for Audrey, Nathan, and Duke's roles in Haven.

* [[Blessed ~~With~~ Suck]]: Nearly all Troubled people.

* [[Blessed with Suck]]: Nearly all Troubled people.

** Special mention has to go to the mayor's son. Everyone likes him at eye contact. He is infinitely annoyed by this because they refuse to listen to him, instead just focusing on trying to be as friendly with him as possible.

*** The fact that Chris Brody is a cynical loner just makes this even more of a sucky blessing from his perspective.

** One of the suckiest afflictions so far would have to be Dwight's, which allows him to ''attract bullets toward himself''. He's not even resistant to them, either, so he wears a vest all the time. He can't even use a regular gun; when he goes hunting, he uses a bow.

*** Dwight was an Army Ranger serving in Afghanistan when the ability first manifested itself which in his case was suckiness turned [[Up to Eleven]].

** Ray had the ability when playing any instrument to "fix" the broken connections in Catatonic patients trapped in their own mind, including his own wife. Unfortunately anybody else hearing the music would gains superhuman strength and hair trigger tempers. Subverted and bordering on [[Cursed ~~With~~ Awesome]] when Audrey figures it should be safe if Ray did away from everyone else leading Ray and assorted patients hitting the seas.

* [[Enemy Without]]: The Dark Man in "Ain't No Sunshine" is disembodied rage.

* [[Enfant Terrible]]: Although it's not the babies' fault, in "Ball and Chain", they age their fathers and kill them. Thus, Duke will never get to meet Jean, his daughter.

Line 86:

* [[Inspired By]]: Stephen King's "The Colorado Kid". Both pieces contain a mysterious murder of a person only identified as The Colorado Kid... and other than one or two details, that's pretty much it.

* [[Ironic Nickname]]: Gun dealer [http://i51.tinypic.com/2l9313r.jpg Little Mike] in the season 2 premiere.

* [[Jerk ~~With~~ a Heart of Gold]]: Duke is a chronic liar, manipulator, and a criminal, but he has also repeatedly put his ass on the line to help others and is appalled at the idea of murdering Troubled people.

* [[Love Cannot Overcome]]: Nathan's love interest Jess Minion initially seemed to think all the Haven weirdness was cool...but being attacked by a living shadow was more than she could handle, and she exited in a hurry.

* [[The Masquerade]]

Line 118:

* [[Psychic Static]]: Used by Duke in "The Trial of Audrey Parker".

* [[Psychoactive Powers]]: Getting upset is what triggers the abilities of several of the Troubled.

Line 139:

** Haven, Maine was the name of the town in ''[[The Tommyknockers]]''.

** The description Audrey gives of another FBI agent sounds a bit like [[The X Files|Fox Mulder]]:

{{quote| '''Audrey''': At least I'm not like that one guy you trained that was chasing aliens, what was his name?<br />

'''Agent Howard''': Hey, he was a genius. What happened to him in the last few years was a tragedy, but that's besides the point. }}

Line 168:

* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: {{spoiler|Nathan calls Audrey out on not telling the chief "everything's going to be all right" when his powers run away from him, as she's done with every other Troubled person. Audrey apparently didn't do it because the chief knew it wouldn't work.}}

** Audrey often calls out people who omit the fact that they know something about Lucy or Sarah.

* [[With a Friend ~~And~~ A Stranger]]: Duke, Nathan and Audrey.

* [[With a Friend and a Stranger]]: Duke, Nathan and Audrey.

* [[Wham! Line]]: Said to Audrey in the first season finale. {{spoiler|"I'm Special Agent Audrey Parker. Who the hell are you?"}}

** The message from his father that Duke finds in "Business As Usual". {{spoiler|"Duke- If you’re reading this, then I haven’t survived. You are my Son. My heir. It’s up to you to finish my work. You must kill her." Attached to the letter is a picture of Audrey.}}

Line 175:

* [[Wipe That Smile Off Your Face]]: A victim in "Sketchy" is subjected to this and turned into [[The Blank]].

* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: The antagonist of "Fear and Loathing" is planning on destroying the whole town for mistreating him. The person who originally made the [[Artifact of Doom]] in the 18th century counts too. Your mileage may vary on how much of a woobie they were though since neither one of them had any real regard for the loss of life. The modern version of the antagonist destroys a school building while people are inside.

* [[You Are What You Hate]]: The Troubled in the season 2 finale is one of Driscoll's followers out to wipe out the Troubled. [[Tomato in ~~The~~ Mirror|Learning that he's one of them]] doesn't change this.
