History Recap / Batwoman2019S1E10HowQueerEverythingIsToday

* {{Disownment}}:
** Parker's parents did this to her for being a lesbian.
** Kate finally makes it clear to Alice that she is NOT her sister anymore.

* NotSoDifferent:
** Despite Parker initially accusing Kate of being nothing like her and not understanding her pain, the two are actually much alike, with Kate revealing herself to Gotham as being a lesbian to drive the point home.
** Parker was in the same position that Sophie was at the Point Rock Academy, with a girlfriend wanting her to out herself before she was ready, and taking offense when she didn't.

* KarmaHoudini: Downplayed. Parker endangers 450 people on a train through a cyberattack, extorts the city for millions of dollars, and doxxes the mayor, but only has to return any money she received and perform 150 hours of community service (though this is part of an ultimatum by Kate, that if Parker doesn't comply, she ''will'' be sent to juvie).

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Forcing Batwoman to unmask only convinces Parker to sabotage Alice's plan, as she instantly recognises Kate Kane as a lesbian from an article she read on her real estate business. Instead she alerts the Crow's to her location and Alice gets captured.

* ContinuityNod: Appropriately, the ''[[Series/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths2019 Crisis]]'' is brought up. Vesper Fairchild even mentions Oliver Queen's death. And the reveal of Batwoman's sexual orientation is shown to have earned the cover of [[Series/Supergirl2015 CatCo Magazine]], with the article written by Kara Danvers, now that Kara and [=CatCo=] exist on the same Earth as the rest of the Arrowverse. The magazine also has an article about Lena Luthor being spotted in Gotham.

** Parker tries sassing Batwoman only for a batarang to slam into the paper dispenser next to her head.

** Despite Parker initially accusing Kate of being nothing like her and not understanding her pain, the two are actually off course were much alike, with Kate revealing herself to Gotham as being a lesbian to drive the point home.

* IWillPunishYourFriendForYourFailure: Alice reveals she has a bomb set up to blow up the dance when Parker refuses to out Kate on threat of death alone.

* {{Irony}}: Right when Kate accepts that Alice is no longer Beth, ''another'' Beth turns up in her office.

* BeYourself: Done as a GayAesop and even lampshaded during Kate's narration.

* BrickJoke: Apparently Kate really did fire the guy at the front desk who let Mary in for a cappuccino, because Beth is introducing complaining about his absence.

* RescueRomance

** A subtle version, but when Parker turns up the next day at her office, Kate makes a point of setting boundaries--making sure Parker doesn't stand too close, firmly dismissing Parker at the end of their conversation but making it clear she's welcome to come back and talk--to make it clear she's willing to act as a mentor and not a potential romantic interest for a girl who's still underage.

* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: Sophie is [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness seriously on the edge]], pistol-whipping and threatening to shoot the Russian hackers while interrogating them.

* NiceJobFixingItHero: Forcing Batwoman to unmask only convinces Parker to sabotage Alice's plan, as she instantly recognises Kate Kane from an article about lesbian CEO's under thirty. Instead she alerts the Crow's to her location and she gets captured.
