* StepfordSmiler: Susan and the other plant people function as the perfect spouses, to the point of pretending they're perfectly fine with whatever their target asks of them. Her being less jealous (about visiting a [[DamselInDistress distressed]] Vernoica) than Bruce expected was his first clue to something being wrong.wrong. His second (more incriminating) clue is hearing the other wealthy newlyweds fawn over how their respective spouses match their personalities a little too well.

* VillainHasAPoint: Upon learning that Susan is a plant creation by Poison Ivy, Bruce deduces that he should've seen it coming that she used Ivy pheromones to attract him to her. To this, Susan points out the pheromones had nothing to do with [[LoveMakesYouDumb him falling for her so easily]], so much as they got his attention. If anything, she explains that his real folly was blindness at how their relationship blossoming was "too easy", as real relationships take work. To add insult to injury, she lampshades that for a plant person [[ReallyWasBornYesterday created a short while ago]], even ''she'' knows this fundamental fact.
