[[folder: Frozen Innocence]]

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Eddie laughs at his daughter’s Roman fire joke (see DeadpanSnarker).

* AdultFear: [[spoiler: Your ex-criminal husband has been secretly training your daughter to follow in his footsteps. They consider you and your other children expendable.]]

An Ice Person: Edward Finch/Cryo.

* BackForTheDead: [[spoiler: Officer Carter, last seen in La Fuerza: The Hunters, returns to be killed by Aurora via brain aneurysm.]]

* DeadpanSnarker: Aurora Finch.
--> '''Eddie''': “It must be Greek fire.”
--> '''Aurora''': “As opposed to Roman fire?”

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Aurora is the only one to survive being frozen, not because she was intentionally spared by the mercenaries, but [[spoiler: because of her Greek Fire abilities.]]

* FramingTheGuiltyParty: [[spoiler: Of the Framing Yourself variety. Eddie Finch/Cryo is framed by superpowered mercenaries for the murder of his wife and sons and attempted murder of his daughter, and they even erased his memory of the events. It’s revealed that the person who hired the mercenaries was Eddie himself.]]

* KilledOffscreen: [[spoiler: Officer Ben Carter]] dies of a brain aneurysm in his hotel room.

* RewatchBonus: Of the reading variety. Pretty much every scene involving Eddie and/or Aurora plays out differently once you realize [[spoiler: they’re both in on it from the beginning.]]
** [[spoiler: The fire caused by Aurora in the hospital isn’t an accident.]]
** Probably the biggest example is that [[spoiler: the conversation in which Aurora confronts Eddie about not telling her she might have powers is at least partially staged by them both.]]

* ThinkingUpPortals: Loophole has this power.

** The fact that Jane and Lily just so happened to be staying at the same hotel as Valeria and Sofia.
** María inherited her powers from her mother, but Valeria has the same father as María, not the same mother, meaning the fact that they have the same powers is pure chance. Lampshaded by Lily.

* MamaBear: Sofia Ramos stands between her underage daughter Valeria and the 38 year old man who took advantage of her even after that man reveals that he has fire superpowers.

* MindOverMatter: Like her late half-sister María, Valeria Ramos is telekinetic.

On l’a trouvé endormi dans notre salle de réunion. Non, je lui ai à peine parlé. On l’a retrouvé mort plus tard. Ils ont demandé ce qu’il nous a dit. Je sais pas, il connaissait probablement des secrets sur eux. Monique, ils savent probablement même pas que tu existes. Oui je suis sûre! J’ai pas le temps pour ça. Au revoir.”
--> '''Translated''': “Yes, I promise I'm fine. No, they are different people. I have never seen them before. I really doubt it. I'm not the only one they were looking for. Yes. We found him asleep in our meeting room. No, I barely spoke to him. He was found dead later. They asked what he told us. I don't know, he probably knew some secrets about them. Monique, they probably don't even know you exist. Yes, I'm sure! I don't have time for that. Bye.”
