* OverprotectiveDad: Hoo boy, Jefferson. Just look at his talk with Khalil, though the little grin he gives at the end may imply that he knows Khalil won't actually do anything to hurt his daughter.

* AmbiguouslyEvil: Gambi deletes proof that Tobias was at the march, muttering, "Sorry, Jefferson."
* BirdsOfAFeather: Anissa and Grace both seem to have an affinity for superheroes.
* ColdSniper: Tobias's henchwoman Syonide takes out a sniper rifle, when ordered to shoot Black Lightning from afar. However, she ends up missing and hitting Reverend Holt and Khalil instead.
* CringeComedy: When Jeff learns Jennifer wants to have sex, he ''basically'' sexually harasses her boyfriend about if he's clean enough in his "et cetera".
* DerailingLoveInterests: Anissa's girlfriend, who was shown in the previous episode to be loving, affectionate, and very supportive, enough that Anissa felt comfortable telling her about her apparent powers, is now suddenly dismissive of Anissa's protesting, casually racist against Asian women, and paranoid enough to assume Anissa is cheating for dancing with a friend. On top of this, its claimed that the relationship was dying anyway and the two were just waiting to break up, when previously they were shown still being physically intimate and nothing indicated they weren't healthy and steady.
* DontCreateAMartyr: Lady Eve warns Tobias not to simply shoot Reverend Holt for fear of this trope. Instead, she wants him to slaughter the protesters in order to force them into paying protection again.
