* Issue #30: After thirty issues of alternating between being an asshole with a massively creepy obsession with Zatanna, and trying his best to be noble, John barges into the House of Mysteries, takes down the entire team, and asks for five minutes with Zatanna. Even though Zatanna has every right to refuse and ''knows'' it's a bad idea, she agrees (calling herself an idiot). [[spoiler:Instead of trying to weasel his way into getting everything back, they have a sincere conversation about how Zatanna's conflicted feelings stem from her not realizing (or willing to realize) that John is nice to her out of ''selfishness'', not decency. John then leaves the House and the JLD in her hands because they'd be better off without him. And the last thing he tells her is not 'I love you' but "Don't forget me."]]

* The very next scene has a man under the effects of the spell holding his wife and children at gunpoint, believing they're demons that have killed his family. The way his wife pleads to him, while huddled next to their cowering children beside an overturned table is upsetting, and it only gets worse from there.

** Even sadder is how the incidents involving Superman and Wonder Woman have these citizens terrified and confused, but thanks to the spell and just how bad it makes them look from an outside perspective, they're condemned by the heroes they've sought out for help and lose everything.

* A woman is about to throw her newborn daughter off a church seeing her as the devil. Batman tries to talk her out of it but she is unable to see past the illusions and throws the baby. Though Batman manages to save the baby, the baby's mother ends up committing suicide by jumping off the church balcony. After seeing the mother's corpse on the ground, all Batman's able to say is a woeful "I'm sorry" to the now orphaned infant. Considering Batman's past, this really hits home for him.
