* BatmanGambit: The Shade's scheme to have Courtney and Pat repair the the Black Diamond so he could restore himself to full health depends on being able to convince them that doing so would trap Eclipso (quite the opposite, actually), the Cosmic Staff having sufficient power to do so, and them having no means to contradict his claims. But for the [[ContrivedCoincidence perfect storm]] of Courtney's shaken trust in Pat, Barb's misplaced faith in Swift, Pat and Courtney being able to locate Jennie and use her Green Lantern powers to reform the Black Diamond, and Beth not discovering the truth about the gem until it was too late to get out a warning, the Shade's swindle would have fallen through and he'd probably have died right there on the Whitmore-Dugans' couch.

* CallingTheOldManOut: When Beth's parents confront her over behavior and the goggles, she tells them that this is due to how they told her to find friends and spent all of their time at work instead of with her, as well as not telling her about the divorce until she found out on her own.

** Pat and Courtney find Jennie at the Helix Institute for Youth Rehabilitation, and when they leave, the head nurse, Louise Love, contacts her boss, Mister Bones. Mister Bones is from the comics, where was a part of an experiment involving forced mutation and turned into a supervillain before reforming and becoming the head of the DEO. The name of his original group? Helix. And the name of the scientist who mutated them? Dr [[GenderFlip Benjamin]] Love.

That's really not a comparable thing. Courtney lied to Pat about stealing the JSA stuff back before the story really took off and the two went through the trials that made them bond and the lie itself only lasted a short while, whereas Pat had been lying to her for several weeks about not knowing how the JSA beat Eclipso (as well as other bits of information she'd found out beforehand), and did so now, after they had spent months as a team/father-daughter duo and gone through enough that he should trust her. The problem isn't even just that Pat lied -he'd done it several times already recently- but that he kept the lie going even after Courtney confessed her own about how Yolanda killed Brainwave, when him telling the truth would have significantly helped relieve Yolanda's guilt and mental anguish, and that he made Barbara lie too, which not only showed to Courtney he didn't trust her as much as Barb but it also hurt her trust in her own mother. There had been several 'no more lies' moments earlier this season, which makes this reveal much more bitter.


* {{Hypocrite}}: Courtney spends most of the episode angry at Pat for withholding information about Eclipso's first defeat and the damage it caused i.e. Yolanda leaving the team, Rick being in jail. However, she conveniently forgets how, in Season 1, she went behind Pat's back to recruit them and Beth in the first place, after Pat expressly forbade her from doing so, stole JSA artifacts in the process without looping him in, and put all of their lives in danger on what would have been a SuicideMission had Pat not intervened at the last moment. Given the amount of tension already between them, however, it's probably just as well that Pat was too guilt-ridden to call her out on this.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Dr. [=McNider=] fills Beth in on The Shade's history, including that he originally was a conman who made a living out of swindling others to get whatever he wanted and sometimes just for kicks. Sure enough, that's exactly what happens here; his solution to repair the Black Diamond turns out to be a con as instead of trapping Eclipso as he said it would, it heals him and summons Eclipso to Courtney, Pat, and Jeannie's location.
* FollowTheChaos: Pat is able to track down Jeannie based on some suspicious green fires in Civic City, and from that deduces she is likely hiding in the only place someone familiar with the JSA would: their former headquarters.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: It's shown in flashbacks that Richard Swift was nothing but a con man and thief used by a group called the Men of Tears to steal the Black Diamond. He double-crossed them with a fake which was to be used to sacrifice Swift to Eclipso. Instead, the dark energies imbued Swift, transforming him into the Shade.
