1The Green Lantern has seemingly started committing crimes, much to Static's disappointment, but it turns out he is actually being framed by Sinestro, who has the power from his ring.
2!! Tropes for this episode include:
3* BadassCreed: John recites the Green Lantern oath, which impresses onlookers.
4-->'''Gear:''' Whoa. We really need an oath.
5* BatmanGambit: Sinestro baited John by pretending to be a distressed astronaut in a distant location. As expected, after John arrived, he summoned his power battery for a recharge as a precaution. Once the battery was in view, Sinestro revealed himself, stole the battery, and fled. While Sinestro was wreaking havoc disguised as John, the real John drained much of his remaining power just getting back to Earth and was left too weak to face him alone.
6* BattleTrophy: Green Lantern demands why Sinestro is after his lost ring since it's out of power. He replies it "would make a fine keepsake" before showing a wire bangle lined with Green Lantern rings, horrifying John.
7* BrokenPedestal: As a black superhero, Virgil really looked up to John as a role model. Seeing him apparently committing crimes completely destroyed his faith in him.
8* {{Crossover}}: With ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'', though Green Lantern is the only present member.
9* DeusExitMachina: The rest of the Justice League was already away when Sinestro's phony distress call was picked up by the Watchtower.
10* EasilyCondemned: Static is quick to believe Green Lantern is committing crimes and doesn't hesitate in having him be arrested.
11* FakinMacGuffin: Static tricks Sinestro into thinking a "Captain Dwayne's Decoder Ring" is John's ring.
12* HypocriticalHumor: After Robert suggests that Virgil’s comment of “Garbage. Complete garbage” refers to his cooking, Sharon states that Virgil is never grateful for the food put in front of him… before spitting out the same food in private.
