Line 14:
* [[Body Double]]: Rather bizarrely, Jack has decoys of himself running around everywhere. The first Jack is a transparent fake (an uncoordinated, [[Evil Brit|Eurotrash]] geek packing a submachine gun); the second is more convincing, and just as amorous toward Sam. This is retroactively explained as a side-effect of Jack's brainwashing; the double literally believes he ''is'' the famous killer.
** Jack recreates Samantha's likeness in "Jill" (Traci Lords), a blonde lookalike whom he schools in the art of murder.
* [[Character Asas Himself]]: To maintain the mystery surrounding its main antagonist, the opening credits list the actor as "and Jack".
* [[Crossover]]: ''Profiler'' did two [[Cross Through|Cross Throughs]] with the series that aired immediately before it, ''[[The Pretender]]'', featuring an identity-swapping hero (Jarod) with no clue to his true past. Le gasp! A forensic psychologist is a Pretender's worst enemy! "End Game" crossed through into "Grand Master", and "Spin Doctor" crossed through into "Clean Sweep". Outside these multi-part crossovers, Jarod also turned up on a separate ''Profiler'' episode, "Pianissimo", towards the end of both series' runs.
* [[Death Byby Irony]]: The modus of one killer is to decapitate his yuppie victims ("talking heads", as he disparagingly call them) and leave the severed heads in a newspaper bin. You can probably guess what the killer's [[Off Withwith His Head|ultimate fate]] is.
* [[The Empath]]: Sam has a "gift" to see into the minds of victims before they were murdered.
* [[Evil Matriarch]]: Jack is implied to have one.
