* Deconstruction: The WillTheyOrWontThey, OppositesAttract, and WorkingWithTheEx dynamics between John and Zatanna are brutally slaughtered. John's attachment is borderline obsession that no one really approves of. Zatanna is upset and angry whenever John shows up, and never starts to like or even respect him again no matter how many times he saves her life. In issue #30, [[spoiler:Zatanna kicks John out of the House of Mysteries and the JLD. John has matured enough to realize that she, and everyone else, would be better off without him]].

Then, John's actions led to Giovanni Zatara's death and Zatanna wanted nothing to do with John. Shortly after Zatanna deals with ''that'' and becomes more civil, [[spoiler:Xanadu prophesies that John will kill Zatanna.]] [[BigNo John doesn't take it well.]]

Shortly after Zatanna deals with ''that'' and rekindles the relationship, [[spoiler:Xanadu prophesies that John will kill Zatanna.]] [[BigNo John doesn't take it well.]]

* IntimateHealing: Averted. While much has been made of tantra as sex magic, the only instance of it being used has John and Zatanna sit across from each other in bathrobes, with only their hands touching. Which is close to actual tantra meditation.

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: None of the members of the group really likes or trusts any of the other members of the group (Deadman and John Constantine in particular dislike each other thanks to the whole June Moone/Enchantress thing). However, according to Madame Xanadu, the consequences to both themselves and the world at large if they don't team up would be catastrophic.
