- Hall of Mirrors: Jackie chases "Jade" to a house of mirrors and walks into one when he sees "her" reflection in one of them. He then sees Shendu's reflections on several mirrors before he walks away and is replaced by the Shadowkhan in them. The ninjas then step from the mirrors to fight Jackie.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Jade's act of taking the Sheep Talisman from Uncle's box to discover it's power and leaving it in her dormant body's hand while she's astral projecting allows the Dark Hand to steal the Talisman unnoticed and give it to Shendu, which in turn gives Shendu the opportunity to take over Jade's body in an attempt to infiltrate Section 13.
- No One Could Survive That!: In the opening, when the Dark Hand gets the sheep talisman, they fire missiles at the bridge the train is heading towards. When they watch Jackie run on the roofs of the train, then jumps onto the rail, Ratso mutters "No way he's human.". Jackie then makes into their helicopter to take the talisman back, then escapes when Ratso accidentally destroys the controls with his electric sword.

- Sleepwalking: Despite Jackie's claim to Uncle to the contrary, he does indeed sleepwalk.
- Threat Backfire: When Shendu blows his cover and attacks Jackie, the latter tries to threaten the former with a spanking. Shendu replies nonchalantly that Jackie may do so since it would be Jade' body that would get spanked instead of his own.
