* DidYouJustScamCthulhu: He manages to get a favor from Lucifer, who expects him to cash it in by saving him from his imminent death. [[spoiler:Instead, John tells Lucifer to save Isabel and leave himself to die, which Lucifer accepts, not knowing that this act redeems John in God's eyes and qualifies him for Heaven, thus denying the Devil of both souls. As a last-ditch attempt to prevent John from winning completely, the Devil resurrects him in the hope that he will sin again, allowing John to not only save his and Isabelle's soul but also get another chance at life. In other words, John manages to obtain three separate things from only one favor, and the Devil was implicitly interested only in giving him an extension instead of outright curing his cancer to boot.]]

* ObliviouslySuperpowered: Unconsciously suppressed her abilities in childhood after seeing Isabel being committed to a mental hospital after [[MistakenForInsane her own powers were dismissed as schizophrenia]]. In the present, Angela is still unconsciously psychic, but despite owing quite a few inexplicable successes at work to this power, she refuses to acknowledge it. However, after gradually learning that Isabel wasn't insane after all and that the supernatural is real, Angela asks Constantine to reawaken her powers.
