* CallBack: It's been [[Recap/WithThisRingEpisode40 over a year and a half]] InUniverse, and [[https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/with-this-ring-young-justice-si-thread-twelve.25032/post-5798540 nearly six years]] in RealLife, but it's finally shown that Paul has been working behind the scenes to assist Akhlys, the AnthropomorphicPersonification of misery. The many enchanted objects he's given her have only a limited effect in promoting health and drawing out illness, but apparently Sephtian learned a lot from making them.

The many enchanted objects he's given her have only a limited effect in promoting health and drawing out illness, but apparently Sephtian learned a lot from making them. And then Hephaestaean rebuilds her body with cyborg components to minimise the effects, "to reflect the technological improvements humanity has made to medicine and healthcare since the days of Ancient Greece."

--> '''Hephaestaean''': You use lightning but don't understand the first thing about physics. Let me educate you.
* ChekhovsArmoury: Paul makes use of the power ring prototype he got back in ''[[Recap/WithThisRingEpisode111 Negetiations]]'', the nascent god/titan of technology discovered in ''[[Recap/WithThisRingEpisode110 Maladaptive]]'', and the Spear of Destiny, in his plans to power up Hephaestus.

--> '''Hephaestaean''': Don't worry, Father. I don't intend to kill you. But I find the concept of a weather god who doesn't understand thermodynamics positively offensive.

--> '''Hephaestaean''': Did you really think that I'd forget what you can do? That isn't just a weapon; it's an engineering tool. Almost anything can be used destructively, but that doesn't make my forge hammer into a weapon of war.

Added DiffLines:

* CatchAndReturn: As the god of technology, it's simple for Hephaestaean to build a hammer that can absorb Zeus' lightning and return it as plasma.

Added DiffLines:

* IShallTauntYou: Since Paul promised Wonder Woman that he wouldn't fight Zeus, he instead just stands by and sings excerpts from the ''Heralds of Valdemar'' song "Oathbreakers", while Hephaestaean delivers the beating.
--> '''Paul''': These are the signs of the king honour-broke,\\
Pride coming first over ''all,''\\
Treading the backs and the necks of his folk,\\
That he alone might stand tall.\\
Giving himself to desires that are base,\\
Tyrannous, cunning and cruel.\\
Bring him down -- set someone else in his place,\\
Such men are not fit to rule.\\\
Cursed Oathbreakers, your honour's in pawn,\\
And worthless the vows you have made,\\
Justice shall see you where others have gone,\\
Delivered to those you betrayed.

Added DiffLines:

* NoSell: Ares uses his power over weapons (as the god of war) to snatch Hephaestaean's hammer away and claim it for himself. However, when he tries to strike Hephaestaean with it, it halts in mid-air, because it's still first and foremost a tool rather than a weapon, so Hephaestaean still has control of it.

Added DiffLines:

* GoldDigger: After Hephaestaean takes the throne, his estranged and serially unfaithful wife Aphrodite suddenly decides she wants to make their marriage work after all (which would, naturally, make her Queen of Olympus). Hephaestaean turns her down and issues the divorce that Zeus previously wouldn't grant them.
