* ItsAllAboutMe: Jordan is insistent on wanting to tell Sarah about his abilities even though doing so risks more than just him. If Sarah, a 16-year-old, does not maintain strict secrecy, it could compromise the entire Kent family. Later, when Clark is visibly in crisis and is trying to explain the issues with his heat vision, Jordan sarcastically and unhelpfully calls him a "rage-a-holic" clearly more focused on his dad yelling at him that morning rather than his dad's super out of character behavior.

* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: It is pointed out that Lana historically has not been a good advocate for the citizens of Smallville because she is not able to identify when someone has bad intentions. She encouraged them to take out reverse mortgages without realizing that the loans were set up for failure which would allow Edge to buy extremely valuable farm land for pennies on the dollar. She also recruited people for Edge's Kryptonian experiment. People signed up for both because Lana was their friend and they believed she would not encourage them to do something she hadn't fully vetted and found to be in their best interest. Unfortunately, this was not the truth.
