* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: The citizens of Atlantis were not happy with Orin splitting his time between [[PresidentSuperhero being Aquaman]] and ruling their country, hence why he handed the title off to Kaldur as soon as he could so he could focus on his duties.

* TheStinger: Much like Superman planning a "Justice League Reserves" system in "Og Htrof Dna Reuqnoc!", following the Chaos Lord Child's attack, Vandal Savage decides to retain the collected assets from [[HomeworldEvacuation Project Lifeboat]] on the Warworld in anticipation of the next inevitable crisis before prioritizing on the mysterious "Project Thrinos."

* VaguenessIsComing: Chameleon Boy and Saturn Girl reveal that they were hoping to save Superboy to prevent a crisis that would affect their future. Seemingly failing, and their time-orb destroyed, they turn to Superman to be at Happy Harbor at noon ten years from now, for reasons they refuse to specify given they're already mucking with the timeline far more than they should.

Stretching the trope a fair bit, it's more a theme than a gag


* RunningGag: PlayedForDrama. Much like Halo piecing together her (or, establishing from last episode, ''their'') identity, Kaldur wonders about the hero known as Arion who had helped save Poseidonis. They both believe the answer to their respective question will raise further questions.

* ContrivedCoincidence: In Orin's opinion, Arion saving them all in exact accordance with prophecy is just too perfect, and wonders if it was staged. By episode's end, he's fulfilled the second line and Orin is even more suspicious.


Added DiffLines:

* GrimyWater: The pillar of fire releases a cloud of red water that kills anything it goes near. This becomes a problem when the Atlanteans have to divert magic just to stay alive, and when Blubber is caught outside the dome forcing Orin to rescue him.
* HappyPlace: Conner retreats to a mental image of himself fixing a bike with Sphere, Wolf, and M'gann to calm himself, which lets him escape the monster.
* ParentsAsPeople: Kaldur might insist that they were GoodParents (and they certainly qualify as this now), but in his early childhood Calvin was often absent as he struggled to find his footing in Atlantis and Sha'lain'a had severe depression. They eventually got their act together, but by then Kaldur had already internalized the idea that he had to be the responsible one.
* PromotionToParent: Thanks to his father's struggles and his mother's depression, Kaldur acted like the adult in the room for his childhood and even picked up jobs to help. Both of them are deeply ashamed of this and urge Kaldur to put his own needs first for once in his life.
