* CharacterDevelopment: DoubleSubverted with Mark. When he speaks to Khione and calls her an abomination for the method she used to save the reporters at the Citizen, it seems like he's ''yet again'' reverted to his classic {{jerkass}} ways, despite his seven months away from Central City. However, it turns out this wasn't actually Mark, but the Negative Speed Force [[DemonicPossession possessing]] him. The actual Mark in fact, ''has'' appeared to have genuinely matured since we last saw him.

* PainfulTransformation: Khione grows plant cells in Aariz and Taylor's bodies to help them breathe after they get asphyxiation. This turns their skin green, which naturally freaks them out, but also makes breathing extremely painful, described as worse than tear gas and their lungs being on fire. They run away after screaming at Khione to stay the hell away from them. Fortunately, it's only temporary.
