* {{Hypocrite}}: Quentin, Lockwood's aide, is very anti-alien, but he makes an exception for Supergirl because, unlike most aliens, she's a superhero. Hearing this firsthand is enough to convince Kara to join the march as Kara Zor-El, Kryptonian refugee and citizen of Earth, rather than Supergirl.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: More like "My God, What Was I Thinking?" Quentin, an aid of Lockwood's and a Children of Liberty-sympathizer, initially assumes there's a distinction between an alien superhero and an alien immigrant.

* RevengeBeforeReason: Hat honestly believes in the Elite's goal to stamp out anti-alien bigotry, and is disgusted how Manchester is letting his feud with Lockwood drive that actions and leaves the Fortress in disgust when he can't be convinced otherwise. Subverted as this was an act meant to fool Dreamer, who they knew might be watching. Even so, Manchester is nevertheless convinced to come around to the greater cause instead of focusing on revenge.
* RippedFromTheHeadlines: The Children of Liberty and pro-alien activists countermarching reminds one of the various White Supremacy / Neo-Nazi marches in the late 2010s and the inevitable counter-protests that follow.
* RousseauWasRight: Several protestors, humans and aliens alike, are shown helping each other up during and after the chaos, and Lockwood's momentum of hate seems to take a significant turn.
* SaveTheVillain: Supergirl intervenes to save Lockwood from an assassination attempt by the Elite, and later, Alex is forced to keep Lockwood safe to keep the peace.
* SequelHook: The episode ends with James being shot by some mysterious assassin.

* YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame: Lockwood praises Alex's status as a human director of the DEO. Alex looks like she's resisting the urge to break his face like a cheap dinner plate.
