Tropes
- All Just a Dream: Lynn, at the beginning of the episode, has a nightmare of her trapping her family and trying to forcibly de-power them, only to kill them.
- Clothes Make the Superman: Gambi gives Anissa a new suit that has a memory feature and allows her to keep her density even after she stops holding her breath.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: Khalil makes short work of Jesse Gentilucci's men.
- Darkest Hour: Lynn gets taken into custody, Ishmael cuts into Jefferson, Anissa gets run down by a car, and Jennifer falls out of the air mid-flight.
- De-power: Tobias pays off Bates to get the device Lauren made. Val gives Tobias the vials of her powers that Lynn made. After visiting his shrine to his dead sister, Tobias activates the combination of that device and the vials, resulting in all of the Pierces, plus TC, losing their powers at the worst possible time.
- Exact Words: Jennifer only promises that her Instagram account will go live no more, not that she will deactivate it.
- Frame-Up: Special Agent Mason arrests Lynn for Violation of Civil Rights.
- Good Cop/Bad Cop: Khalil and Painkiller play this role towards Jesse Gentilucci. In the end, Painkiller gets his way and kills the mobster, after having all the information they need.
- He Knows Too Much: Darius, who approaches Anissa being very freaked out, saying they've locked him out of the database containing the information about the phony cystic fibrosis treatment. He says he will get what he's already learned and then he's leaving town. However, Anissa unfortunately finds him murdered at his home later.
- Incest Subtext: There are shades of this from Tobias, when he calls his dead sister the "love of his life".
