----
* BridgeBunnies: Jayne's plan involves him buying a starship and crewing it with beautiful women.
* CallBack: Simon is uncomfortable with raiding a Buddhist temple to recover some money hidden there, so Book suggests a donation to the temple, and Mal agrees. While they're digging out the money, a monk happens along. Mal indicates to Jayne that now's the time, so Jayne gives the monk a stack of cash. The monk gasps, [[{{Recap/FireflyE07Jaynestown}} "The Hero of Canton... He's real!"]] And so the legend grows...
* CloudCuckoolander: River, naturally; her plan for the money involves a human-sized fish wearing a tuxedo, among other things.
* ElectrifiedBathtub: Mal knocks a guy into a fountain, and the guy's gun (which has an on-board power source) electrocutes him.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Jayne clarifies that his ship, the ''Radiant Cobb'', would be named for his ''mother'', not ''himself.''
* HookersAndBlow: How Shepard Book claims he will spend his cash. [[{{Troll}} Then assures the stunned crew that he was just messing with them.]]
* MechaMooks: The unnamed operator of the drone also has several combat robots he brings to bear against the crew. Because they're not alive Book is fine with hacking them apart.
* TrackingDevice: The drone the crew snatch "was designed to expel microscopic tracking beacons upon unexpected shutdown or systems failure." This allows the drone operator to track the crew down.
* TheUnnamed: The drone operator and the man Mal wants to sell the (stolen) drone to are never named.
