Tropes
- Love Triangle: Jen is now torn between Wes and the changed Alex.
- Manly Tears: Wes totally breaks down when he finds his father's hospital bed empty.
- Pet the Dog: After realizing that Wes is right that people choose their destiny, Alex decides to save Wes’ father from dying, by using a device that heals Mr. Collins of his injuries just as he was about to die, so that Wes truly can follow his own path in life.
- Screw Destiny: Wes chooses his own path and refuses to go down the path of his father. Hell, there's a reason why the episode is named Destiny Defeated.
- With Due Respect: After reaching their limit with Alex's crappy attitude towards them and accusing them of not caring about the future, Lucas, Trip, and Katie all call him out.Lucas: You're the one who doesn't care about the future!
Trip: If you did, you wouldn't have taken Wes' morpher.
Alex: The team is strongest this way.
Katie: No! We're strongest with Wes! If you were a real leader you'd see that!
