** Lor-Zod is confused for a Daxamite, an alien species similar to Kryptonians, by Tomar-Tu's Lantern Ring.

* BeginnersLuck: Phantom Girl states that the only reason she and Conner got into the Phantom Zone was by pure accident when her phasing was interrupted. When she and M'gann work together to find it again, all she can do is phase to the former's homeworld (in an area not yet populated in the 21st century) and back to the Watchtower. It takes the power of the Kaizer-Thrall (Danny) and a Motherbox to pinpoint the Phantom Zone's location.

* SympathyForTheDevil: Despite the danger they pose, Aquaman offers Dru-Zod and the other the Kryptonians a fair trial and parole if they choose to cooperate. Unfortunately, they feel they have been trapped in the Phantom Zone long enough.

* RapidFireInterrupting: Prince J'emm when Phantom Girl is getting ready to tell M'gann et al the story of what happened to Conner.

* AndThatsTerrible: Atrocities on Apokolips are nothing new, and yet M'gann and Black Lightning are disgusted in learning that someone as young as the metahuman Danny Chase was trafficked and turned into a twisted experiment there. What's worse is that the Kaizer-Thrall machine's abilities given to him not only cause him great pain, but also slowly ''kill'' him with each use.

-->'''Lor-Zod''': He was a Green Lantern of impressive skill and willpower. [[ImpliedDeathThreat May you follow in his footsteps]]. \\
'''Tomar-Tu''': Thank you!

* SpeakIllOfTheDead: Downplayed. Lor-Zod (identified as a Daxamite) tells Tomar-Tu at a Green Lantern science prison about his late father Tomar-Re. He credits the late Lantern's willpower, but the son [[SarcasmBlind doesn't realize it was subtle sarcasm]], as Lor killed Tomar-Re for interfering with the liberation of his parents.

* CurbStompCushion: Nightwing's team manage to gain the upper hand against the House of Zod after adapting to the Phantom Zone. Because the Kryptonians have spent several decades there, however, they are better adjusted and able beat them back.

** Overhearing Nightwing's team trying to talk some sense into Conner, the Zods learn that Kal-El/Superman, the son of Jor-El, is alive after all.

* ProperlyParanoid: Orion believes there is a good chance that Dru-Zod and the other Kryptonians may escape while rescuing Conner, so he suggests opening a Boom Tube to the Phantom Zone on Planet Trombus, which possesses a red sun to weaken them. Superman joins M'gann's team despite being aware that he will be weakened as well, though Black Lightning, Phantom Girl, Orion, Blue Forager, Prince J'emm and Miss Martian would more than make up for it. Near the end of the episode, Conner, the two Zods and Faora leave the Phantom Zone.
