Passed in Their Sleep: This seems to be what happened to everyone who fell asleep the night before. It ends up being something much worse.

Drowning My Sorrows: After coming up short after their test with the Trespasser, Mateo sees this as his last resort, saying he might as well get fucked up if he's going to die anyway. This causes Dave to chew him out for giving up on them instead of attempting to find a way out of this mess.

Serial Rapist
 The Edge of Sleep (Podcast) / int_7e84a642
comment
The Trespasser is a vile, sexist Serial Rapist with dozens of victims who he has raped and killed and a disturbingly casual way of referring to his crimes. He taunts his latest victim that her mother is likely dead when everybody starts dying in their sleep and looks over what is now "his world" with awe and sadistic glee at having no one to stop him from hurting others. He kidnaps Katie and later Dave, and intends to kill him slowly with medical tools. Even after Dave befriends him he decides to castrate Dave to keep him away from Katie, mockingly saying that he'll have to "enjoy a good book" while he's raping Katie. After Mateo and Dave stop him, he breaks down, saying that the girls were "junkies" whom he didn't hurt and pathetically begging to be let go. When the group straps him into an MRI to see what happens when a person dies in their sleep, any sympathy the audience may have for him goes away when he mocks Dave about the nightmares he'll have from witnessing his death.

Phony Veteran: The Trespasser tries to use this as an excuse, but the real vet Mateo asks if he went to BCT at a post that doesn't even have it. So when the Trespasser says he did, Mateo knows he's lying and calls him out.

Faux Affably Evil: The Trespasser is a rather charismatic man who speaks calmly even when he's preparing to do horrible things. All of it does nothing to reflect the vile, disgusting man underneath. He even strikes up conversation with Dave while preparing to castrate him.

Mundanger: The Trespasser isn't related to the supernatural phenomenon that is afflicting those who died in their sleep. He's just a Serial Rapist who uses the opioid epidemic to get away with his crimes.

Hate Sink: Gus is a stupid, rude drug dealer who is friends with Dave and Katie. When Dave arrives at the party late, Gus has to be reminded of his name twice and later refuses to help Dave save Randy's life because he doesn't want to risk being arrested. Later it's revealed that he likely lied to Katie and gave her Speed instead of MDMA. The Trespasser is a vile, sexist Serial Rapist with dozens of victims who he has raped and killed and a disturbingly casual way of referring to his crimes. He taunts his latest victim that her mother is likely dead when everybody starts dying in their sleep and looks over what is now "his world" with awe and sadistic glee at having no one to stop him from hurting others. He kidnaps Katie and later Dave, and intends to kill him slowly with medical tools. Even after Dave befriends him he decides to castrate Dave to keep him away from Katie, mockingly saying that he'll have to "enjoy a good book" while he's raping Katie.
