* GoodShapeshiftingEvilShapeshifting: David and Amahl Farouk engage in a psychic duel that allows their mental projections to clash in the form of a ShapeshifterShowdown. David takes more natural forms like rhinos, sharks, and dinosaurs, while Farouk's shapes are often mechanical or mythical, though both are distinguished by colour: David's projection is green, while Farouk's is a fiery orange. Most tellingly, Farouk cheats by [[ShapeshifterGuiltTrip becoming Syd]], then taking advantage of David's surprise to become a giant [[SpiderPeople spider-person]] and wrap him up in its web. In the final clash, David becomes a soldier armed with a flamethrower, while Farouk becomes a flame-breathing giant, resulting in a BeamOWar.

* AGodAmI: One of the alter Davids argues he's one.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: That's right. These idiots at Division 3 (Cary, Kerry, and Syd included) thought it was a good idea to imprison a PhysicalGod and try to kill or lobotomize him. Before this, David had no reason to hate them. Now, he has a very good one. To make it worse not only did they let Farouk, the man who {{Mind Rape}}d David as well as practically the whole cast and killed [[AndIMustScream (kinda)]] David's sister, go free, but they made this clear to David by making him part of the trial.



* DownerEnding: Where to begin? [[TheBadGuyWins The Shadow King wins]], [[SanitySlippage David's mental state is worse than we've ever seen before]] and he no longer has any {{Morality Chain}}s, David's relationship with all his friends has been destroyed [[ShipSinking (even Syd)]], Syd genuinely attempted to kill David, TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt is pretty much a ForegoneConclusion, and we're following the guy who's gonna cause it.

* FreudianTrio: The three Davids that appear in his head make up a perfect one with "real" David being TheKirk.

* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Zig Zagged. By the end of this season the characters originally set up as the protagonist, love interest, and villain are all accused of, or seen on-screen, committing some kind of violation of consent. For David, whose transgression is the least severe, this is shown as evidence of a FaceHeelTurn and contributes to his "arrest" toward the end of the episode for The Shadow King; the accusation of much less ambiguous rape seems to be forgotten by this point and doesn't get in the way of his EnemyMine collaboration with Division. Syd's raping of her mother's boyfriend also isn't even called back to. That said, the main factor in the decisions of most of the other characters comes from how potentially dangerous David is and how willing he was to use his powers to alter the memories of a team member.

* EvilAllAlong: The episode suggests that David never was a particularly good person to begin with and that his crappy life led him to create a delusion in which he saw himself as better than he actually was. Then again, he was possessed by Farouk his whole life, so it's impossible to be sure. This episode also reveals that he has multiple personality disorder with his schizophrenia. Not insane per say, but he starts showing SanitySlippage towards the end...
