Line 228 ⟶ 232:
* [[Woman Scorned]]: {{spoiler|In ''The Captive Curse'', Anja dresses up as the monster of Finster Castle in a ploy to get back at the castle's owner, her ex-boyfriend.}}
* [[Xanatos Roulette]]: {{spoiler|The culprit tricks Nancy into helping them with their plans in ''Ransom of the Seven Ships''. Would have been a Gambit, were it not for the fact that there are literally ''too many damn ways to die''. If Nancy had reached one of the many possibilities to get a game over, if she hadn't gotten past the carefully-set traps, or if she had figured out the true identity behind Johnny Rolle/Poole too early, the culprit's plan would have failed}}.
* [[:Category:Yandere|Yandere]]: The culprit in ''Stay Tuned for Danger'' {{spoiler|is the rare ''male'' variety as part of his motive comes from the star he's trying to kill hooking up with the actress the culprit is secretly in love with}}.
