* BrainwashingForTheGreaterGood: Lena's plan for fixing humanity is to use Hope to delete their negative emotions (notably, the ones that Lena feels fuel the betrayals she suffered) and emphasise the better ones. Eve ends up as the first subject to be "fixed", with the added effect of using her as a host for the Hope A.I.
Added DiffLines:
* DramaticIrony: Kara happily reports that she feels a major weight of guilt gone after being forgiven by Lena. The audience, however, knows that Lena has absolutely ''not'' forgiven Kara.
Added DiffLines:
* EntertaininglyWrong: Andrea assumed that Lena dismantled a set of Obsidian lenses to try and steal the technology, cutting off her supply of replacements as a result. While she has her uses for the tech, Lena's plans have nothing to do with stealing anyone's intellectual property.
* EvilFeelsGood: While Eve initially tries to claim that she hated betraying Lena, she eventually owns up to having liked the feeling of power it gave her.
* FalseReassurance: Played with; Lena tells Eve that she "won't feel a thing" as a result of Hope occupying her body. Lena is being sincere, but the reassurance doesn't do Eve much good.
* HearingVoices: The exact nature is unclear, but while looking in a mirror at the end of the episode, Malefic hears his own voice as a separate entity and sees his reflection move and even shapeshift on its own. It even suggests tactics he otherwise hadn't thought of.

* WorfHadTheFlu: Malefic apparently lost certain abilities while imprisoned in the Phantom Zone, blaming this for his inability to defeat J'onn and Supergirl. His "conversation" with his reflection suggests that using Obsidian technology to reset his brain might undo whatever happened.
