** Alice reveals to Cartwright that she's alive.
** Sophie comes out to her mother.



* IResembleThatRemark: Alice gets annoyed at "her" obituary dubbing her "deranged", saying so with a wide-eyed, crazed expression. Later, when Dr. Malone points out her psychological defenses, Alice defensively replies that she doesn't have defenses.



* ItsAllAboutMe: Sophie's mother resents her daughter's sexuality because it gives people another excuse to discriminate against ''her''.
* ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies: Batwoman attempts this with Sophie, but Sophie doesn't buy it as she can take care of herself. She's clearly forgotten the first time she supposedly met Batwoman was when she had to be rescued from Alice throwing her off a building. Of course neither of them are thinking with their heads at this point.

** Sophie is clearly getting a thrill out of doing illegal vigilante work with a woman she's got the hots for, and [[BattleCouple suggests they'd make a great team]]. It's Kate who has to turn down the idea, pointing out the only way that would work is for Batwoman to take off the mask for Sophie, and they'd both have to face all the consequences of that.
