Memorable quotes
(Alex and Tessa are running through a darkened hallway from the nightmares. A door opens up, revealing a mass of tentacles and claws).

Tessa: Ahhhhhh! It's another nightmare!

Alex: (Utterly unafraid) Oh, no, that's just ol' Chompy. He's actually a big softie, once you get to know him.

Tessa: Your subconscious is a strange place, Alex.

Notes & trivia

 * Fans had long hoped to see Alex make an appearance on the show, and were rewarded with what's considered some of the best dialogue in the season.
 * Alex's nightmares were originally much darker and scarier, and had to be toned down in order for this episode to receive executive approval.
 * This episode's B plot- focused on Ellie Rose and Kate trying to outdo each other by making increasingly elaborate dreamcatchers- eventually gave rise to the "But Mine Has Sparkles" meme in 2015.
