* ChekhovsGun: Mal makes a point that he ''always'' demands half up front, given the dangerous nature of their line of work. It is pointed out that nobody ''ever'' actually gives it to him. [[spoiler:Which is how he knew the client was planning to betray them.]]
* OhCrap: The client [[spoiler:realizes that River is on to him.]]
* TheReveal: [[spoiler:Mal brought River along because she could read minds, and could efficiently deal with the Client if he turned out to be an enemy.]]

* TrojanPrisoner: [[spoiler:The client hired them to transport him, planning to kill them and take their ship once he was aboard.]]
