* SpannerInTheWorks: The villains' plan to have the JSA believe Pat was murdered by Gorilla Dragon King is scuppered when he turns up alive and piloting S.T.R.I.P.E.. He survived because, unbeknownst to them, Sylvester taught him how to dislocate his wrists to get out of restraints after Sylvester's very first adversary, Dr Weerd, [[IHaveYourWife took Pat hostage]].

** Given that Jordan and Ultra-Humanite Starman's plan hinged on uniting with the SJA against Gorilla Dragon King, it's unclear if they were going to actually destroy and betray him or had some escape for him in mind.

* AmbiguousSituation: Based on some comments, it's not clear how long the Mahkent grandparents have been aware Jordan was still alive.

* PragmaticVillainy: Until it was ruined by Pat not being dead, Jordan's plan was for the JSA to unite with him and his family against the threat of Ultra-Humanite, thus allowing for Cameron and Courtney to be together (and himself to get together with Barbara, or so he thought).

* VillainousCrush: Even after everything, Jordan ''still'' thinks he and Barbara could "reignite what we had". She spells it out for him that they never had anything.

** After treating his daughter as a possession all her life, Dragon King is given a ForcedTransformation by the Thunderbolt into a toy gorilla for her to play with.

* GrandFinale: This is the last episode of the season and the entire series.

** As a BrainInAJar, Sylvester has been stuck in a loop replaying his last thought before the brain extraction (desperately asking about Pat's safety) for the whole nine months since the procedure. Fortunately, the DistantFinale reveals that the JSA eventually rescued him.

* LaserGuidedKarma: Immediately after Lily Mahkent prepares to kill her husband, she's rushed by Wildcat and her attempt to blast Yolanda causes a car to fall on top of her and crush her to death like the house on top of the Wicked Witch of the East.

* VillainsNeverLie: Discussed by Courtney and Pat, who decide to keep Sylvester's body on life support just in case the Ultra-Humanite, who had already proven himself a ConsummateLiar, was fibbing about Sylvester's brain having been disposed of. Sure enough, we then see that Sylvester's BrainInAJar is still intact in a laboratory on a mountain somewhere.

* AndTheAdventureContinues: Jay Garrick shows up in the future to tell the Shade that the JSA need his help once more.

* TimeSkip: Following the climax, there's a three-month timeskip showing Artemis killing Jordan once and for all in Copenhagen, and then a ten-year time skip to the Shade giving a tour of the JSA museum.

* AndTheAdventureContinues: Jay Garrick shows up in the future to tell The Shade that the JSA need his help once more.
