Line 12:
* [[Agent Scully]]: Nathan makes some half-hearted efforts in this direction, as he'd really ''like'' to be living in a rational world.
* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: Subverted in the "Trial of Audrey Parker" regarding Julia and Duke.
* [[Anti -Magic]]: Audrey seems to have a minor version of this. Troubled abilities can't affect her.
** {{spoiler|Duke has a variation. By killing one Troubled person, anyone else afflicted by that ability (i.e., direct blood relations) is cured of it permanently.}}
* [[Anyone Can Die]]: In "As You Were", a group of main and secondary characters go to an isolated resort, and we are introduced to a new character. Rather than the newcomer dying, {{spoiler|Eleanor (who had been in six of the nine episodes)}} died instead.
Line 44:
** And the second season finale, where {{spoiler|Audrey is kidnapped, and either Nathan or Duke may or may not have killed the other.}}
* [[Cool Loser]]: Audrey. This is changing quickly since her arrival in Haven though.
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: Vince Teague, the newspaper editor.
* [[Cryptic Background Reference]]: The Miami Incident, Macau, and the time Max Hansen {{spoiler|failed to kill Vince Teague.}}
* [[Cuteness Proximity]]: Nathan changes completely when he is around babies.
* [[Differently -Powered Individual]]: They're called "Troubled". In addition, it's suggested that for the most part, their powers don't actively manifest (or at least, don't get cranked up to eleven) unless it's a 'troubled time' (or The Troubles as called in-universe). During not-The Troubles, most of them live pretty normal lives (more or less) and usually don't have any of their 'powers'. The term 'affliction' has come up as a way of referring to their powers.
* [[Drowning My Sorrows]]: Nathan's reaction to {{spoiler|being temporarily fired as Chief of Police.}}
** Reverend Driscoll in "Butterfly".
Line 59:
* [[Feel No Pain]]: Local cop Nathan Wournos can't feel anything except Audrey's touch.
** Also {{spoiler|Nathan's real dad Max Hansen.}}
* [[Finishing Each OthersOther's Sentences]]: Audrey and Fraudrey tend to do this when relating their memories.
* [[Freak of the Week]]
* [[Girl of the Week]]: Jess Minion to Nathan.
Line 90:
* [[Karmic Death]]: {{spoiler|The Reverend.}}
* [[Kill and Replace]]: A Chameleon, [[Monster of the Week|antagonist]] of "As You Were" has this a modus operandi. It gets close to the victim, acquires everything about them, and kills them in the process of turning into them. It doesn't like doing this, and even sought out Audrey for help (notably she was only knocked out instead of dying). The only reason wasn't caught the last time The Troubles were around was because it [[Replacement Goldfish|replaced someone who had just died]]. And the person's wife didn't want to lose him.
* [[Kill 'Em All]]: {{spoiler|Reverend Driscoll gets in this mindset once he realizes more subtle tactics will just keep getting shot down by Audrey and Nathan. [[Laser -Guided Karma|Then Audrey just plain shoots him.]]}}
* [[The Lancer]]: Duke, whether he wants to be or not.
* [[Laser -Guided Amnesia]]: The ''entire town'' has this to varying extents. None of them seem to remember most of the time when Lucy was around.
** It's hinted this may be related to the Colorado Kid. {{spoiler|Duke mentions that when they found him, no one remembered anything afterwards.}}
** However, it is now fairly obvious that several of the townspeople, such as Chief Wournos, Vince, and Dave knew everything but purposely withheld the information from Audrey.
Line 162:
** {{spoiler|Turns out the woman actually is Audrey.}}
* [[Unwitting Pawn]]: Duke seems to be dragged between the various factions, despite his best attempts for some straight answers.
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: Averted with Nathan. When his father does pay him a compliment he seems more angered by it than pleased. Of course, one must note that said compliment was [[Too Soon|his ability to shoot a shapeshifter impersonating his partner in cold blood]].
* [[Well -Intentioned Extremist]]: {{spoiler|Duke's father. Since he possessed the ability to completely remove Troubled powers by killing one member of the family, he believed he could stop them entirely. Makes you wonder why he wanted Audrey dead. He expects Duke to do the same, though Duke is understandably reluctant.}}
* [[What Do You Mean ItsIt's Not Awesome?]]: The ''sandwich''. You know what I'm talking about.
* [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart Anyway]]: Dwight's power is to attract bullets. This can be great during a firefight for those standing next to him but really sucks for him.
* [[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.
Line 174:
* [[When Trees Attack]]
* [[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.
* [[You Killed My Father]]: {{spoiler|Lucy Ripley}} killed Simon Crocker. Unusually for this trope, Duke doesn't seem to want revenge on {{spoiler|Audrey.}}
