Line 37:
* [[Genre Savvy]]: The team Harry assembles to {{spoiler|save his daughter}} spend a few moments trying to figure out which [[The Lord of the Rings|member of the Fellowship they are.]] This also turns out to be [[Foreshadowing]], if you pay attention.
* [[Guilt Complex]]: After {{spoiler|Harry breaks his back and thus can't come to his daughter's rescue. He is so desperate and wracked with guilt that he decides to make a deal with Mab to become the Winter Knight to fix it and gain the magical edge he needs. Though we find out in ''Ghost Story'' that he was manipulated into making that choice by a demon whispering in his ear.}}
* [[Guilt
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: After {{spoiler|having to kill Susan, the woman he had loved and mother of his child.}}
* [[Heroic Fire Rescue]]: {{spoiler|How Harry breaks his back}}. He has a severe case of [[Chronic Hero Syndrome]] after all.
Line 73:
* [[Unholy Nuke]]: The Bloodline ritual, which takes out everyone related to a sacrificial victim. Harry uses it to take out the entire Red Court.
* [[Watching Troy Burn]]: In ''Changes'', both Harry's office and apartment are destroyed by Red Court terrorists. In both cases, the vampires used incendiary explosives from a distance, leaving Harry nothing to do but rescue the inhabitants in the buildings and watch them turn to ash.
* [[Wham! Episode]]: ''Changes''. Let's just say it lives up to its name.
* [[Wham! Line]]: The first line of ''Changes'' is {{spoiler|"I answered the phone, and Susan Rodriguez said, 'They’ve taken our daughter.'" }}.
* [[What You Are in The Dark]]: Harry has moments like these in the series, but it is most exemplified here, where several characters tell Harry that the current crisis will "show him who he really is."
* [[Yank the Dog's Chain]]: At the end of ''Changes'', it is ''strongly'' implied that Murphy and Harry were finally going to resolve their UST, and then we get the ending. In the same book, Lea hints that she, and by extension other Sidhe, could remove the vampirism from Susan Rodriguez and other half-turned people. This gives Harry some hope that she could be cured. In the end, {{spoiler|Harry ''does'' end up curing all the half-turned vampires...by sacrificing freshly fully-turned Susan.}}
