!!Tropes:
* CharacterDeath:
** Sage is killed by Reeva, who believes Sage is a traitor.
** Blink is killed during the assault on the Morlocks, dying just as she manages to get Erg out.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: By hacking Sage's computer to figure out where Max would be, Lorna inadvertently paints her as a spy. Reeva kills Sage for her perceived betrayal.
* PsychicStatic: Sage's technopathy makes her immune to telepathy, because her thoughts are organized more like a computer than a person. Tragically, this only serves to make her look more like a spy to Reeva, since she's the only person in the Inner Circle who can hide their thoughts as such.
* ShootingSuperman: Jace catches onto this when Erg steps out to draw fire, realizing he's just absorbing the energy and throwing it back at them. He instead orders the Purifiers to shoot everyone else, resulting in a slaughter.
