Tropes

  • Ai Is A Crap Shoot: Jack builds a robot version of himself which turns out ... exactly like himself.
  • Deranged Animation: Caused by the Whoozy shooter.
  • Did You Actually Believe...?: Jack questions if Omi really trusted him when he said he turned good. Omi admits with no hesitation that he trusted Jack.
  • Does This Remind You of Anything?: The Whoozy shooter releases a purple gas that induces a Mushroom Samba.
  • Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Jack is surprised when he learns that Omi did, in fact, trust him when he said he was trying to turn good.
  • Evil Mentor: After nearly a season of foreshadowing, Chase is revealed to be corrupting Omi to the Heylin side
  • Heel–Face Revolving Door: Jack temporarily joins the heroes, but betrays them later. As revealed in the episode's showdown, he did that because he feared that he would fail at being good like he failed at being evil.
  • His Own Worst Enemy: As it turns out, Jack really did try to turn over a new leaf, but went back to his evil ways because he feared he would fail at good just as he has failed at evil. His fear of failing means he will be stuck as a villain who fails over and over, on top of betraying Omi when he actually thought Jack had changed.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: When Catnappe tries to use the Whoozy shooter on Jack, Jack manages to turn it back on her by using the reversing mirror.
  • The Password Is Always "Swordfish": The combination to Jack's safe is 1,2,3.
  • Running Gag: "Three second rule!"
