Bunny-Ears Lawyer: When Brandon brings in Zarabeth as a medium, Jim is skeptical due to her eccentric appearance, valley girl-like speech patterns and sarcastic humor - she successfully conducts a seance with David, then is the first character to start realizing things may not be as they seem. | |

Bait-and-Switch: The ending teases that the brief church scene is Jim's funeral, with ambiguous music and people weeping in the pews. Turns out he survived his fall and it's his wedding to Linda. | |
