* HarsherInHindsight: While Kara was able to prevent Nia from becoming a killer in this episode, on ''[[Series/Batwoman2019 Batwoman]]'', [[spoiler:Kate, another of Kara's friends, found herself in almost the exact same position as Nia, with a villain at her mercy, Dr. August Cartwright, who had committed terrible crimes against her and her family. With no one there to talk her down, Kate eventually hit her breaking point and killed Cartwright, [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone much to her own horror]].]] Even worse, [[Recap/Batwoman2019S1E15OffWithHerHead the episode in question]] aired immediately before this one; SupermanStaysOutOfGotham aside, Kara may well have saved Nia's soul [[spoiler:but been unable to prevent Kate from losing hers]] because, for all her power, even Supergirl can't be in two places at once.
* WhatAnIdiot: Bauer goes out of his way to not only target Dreamer, but to do so in a way that he knows will severely piss her off. This is ''[[BullyingADragon after]]'' footage of her easily thrashing a Dominator goes viral. What's more, when Dreamer confronts him, Bauer keeps trying to provoke her, and his big plan was to [[DidntThinkThisThrough try and kill her with a small pocket knife]]. Supergirl talking Dreamer down is pretty much the only reason that Bauer is still alive at the end of the episode.

* {{Anvilicious}}: The theme of this episode, namely the struggles of the transgender community, has all the subtlety of a freight train. The villain of the story is practically a caricature of violent transphobes.



* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: The theme of this episode, namely the struggles of the transgender community, has all the subtlety of a freight train, but it hits all the harder for it. The villain of the story is practically a caricature of violent transphobes, but one doesn't need to look far, especially online, to see and hear comments exactly like his being used by real people (and even worse-they didn't have him use specific anti-trans slurs, for example). Plus many actual hate crimes like this occur, often (as the episode says) unrecognized due to bigotry or ignorance.
